30 Something Student

Jump to Comments

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 wife with the kids – 3 kids that is.

I was going to send an email to my Professor asking for another day or 2 to finish it but then I noticed that you are only docked 5 point a day from the due date. Cool. I was really glad that I did not send that email since in class he made a point to not give him excuses about turning in your homework. Embarrassment avoided.

What I did instead was my home work while in class. As I was uploading it to our class website he started going over it in class. I was really thankful that they way he did his example was evidently different then the way I did mine. Mine was mostly correct but different enough to where I do not think he will think that I copied him.

In all honesty I really do not like school. I am not going because I do not have anything else to do with my evenings. I work a regular job and have a family and that takes enough time as it is. But at the same time that is why I am going to school. I want my family to be well taken care of and this will help me to do that.

The struggle that I am going to face in school is not going to be the actual work that is assigned to me. It is going to be motivating myself to do the work. Isn’t that the way of life though?
