So it’s now about 6 months after I left school and I can now see some of the differences between having an education and not having one. The biggest difference is money. Yep, over the course of the last 6 months I have come to realize that I am in the very bottom spectrum in [...]
So here I am 3 months after my decision to quit school. Where am I? How are things? do I regret it.
Here is the break down:
Time - my time has now focused more on my family and that strain has been eliminated - this is a good thing and I (and my family) are much [...]
When I was in school I bought one of the books I needed from Amazon.com and am apparently on “the list”. Anyway, I just received this email about their contest for 1 free year of text books or tuition. Sounds good - if you win.
The email:
Dear Amazon.com Customer,

I know it is so weird to do all of the work just to get into school and then 2 semesters later quit but I have to do what I have to do.

I got the call this morning and met [...]
So here I am sitting in class and I totally do not want to be here. This is the problem that I have always had with school - motivation.
I know that a degree will help me in the future but at the moment it is hard to tell if it worth it. I just really [...]
Well this is week 7 in my first class and I have to say that I am starting to “feel it”.
What am I feeling?
I am feeling tired from all the demands that a guy in my spot is going to feel keeping everything a float.
This weekend was different because I did not get [...]
That’s right, I stepped into class on my 3rd week without having done my home work. I have several different excuses that I could hand you that would work in the working world but school is different. The fact was that I was tired after working on the house all weekend and then helping my [...]
I finally got my book this weekend and started the reading of the first 3 chapters that I missed last week. I have 2 more chapters that are due before class tonight. My Professor was kind enough to extend the assignment for last week until tomorrow night because of the whole book fiasco.
I can [...]
