School – kicking myself in the butt!!
Saturday, June 9th, 2007I am so ready to call it quits with this class. The course I am taking is Principles of Management and there is a lot of work to it. This is an accelerated course and I should know from previous experiences that accelerated classes are tough and require a lot of my free time. I have free time right now and I’m blogging.
Why?
Because I’m so tired of watching the videos that came with the book. I took as much notes as I could and I now need to summarize them to a 1.5 or 2 pages summary. There are 10 videos to view and each video is 40 minutes. I have till July 25 to complete these videos.
Don’t get me wrong. I find this course to be very interesting. Forming an organization, managerial hierarchies, ethics and diversity, globalization, control, planning, leading, and resources – all these sound so familiar to me. I am fortunate to work in a corporation that has the exact formulas within the organization. I am particularly interested in mergers and acquisitions. I assume there are great deals of processes to follow that intrigue me.
With summer around the corner, which I think with the heat and humidity we have, summer is already here. I tend to spend my summers out on the trails or just working on my scrapbook and jigsaw puzzles. I told DB I usually slack a lot when I’m in a 16-week class and I work a lot harder in an 8-week course.
I know I need to get my credits in to get my degree quicker and that’s why I signed up for the summer class, but now I am totally kicking myself in the ass for doing that. However, I will be kicking myself even harder if I didn’t sign up this summer. Either way I’m stuck. I suppose I simply need to sacrifice a little for something more important.
That is life……
