Today was a day of discipline as is everyday if you care about what you are doing. I didn't have to be in class until the middle of the day so that allowed me to get some reading done for eng. comp. and to continue to try to understand the language of intro. to logic. I decided to go the student lounge and work on some exercises for the logic class and try to get ahead of the upcoming quiz for that class.
My life as it is now seems like I have a lot of time for anything but no time for everything, which is where the discipline comes into play. While waiting for the "communications" class to begin, I had a conversation with one of my classmates, a guy who is around 20 and is weighing the option of joining the military to continue his goal of becoming a doctor or continuing the conventional educational model. As a former Marine I obviously tried to make the case for joining the military and pursuing his goal that way. He listened and had good questions, I think whatever path he chooses would probably be a good one.
Communications class was fun for me today, I can't say the same for my classmates because of all of the pseudo-complaining. My approach is if you have to do something take it serious and have fun. The "communications" class is in the early stage of trying to get everyone comfortable with the feeling of being uncomfortable; standing in front of thirty people and speaking in a manner that most of us don't use in our everyday life. The lesson for today is: I learned and that is one of my goals everyday, at the end of my day if I can answer the question: What did you learn today? then it was good day.
Until next time........................
