It's been a while since I have posted anything and that is because I have been busy! I can't believe that I have been in school for four weeks. The time has flown by. But I must admit that it is kicking my butt! The educational brain cells have been dormant for so long and they are still stretching themselves. But it has brought to mind the fact that I might serious have had a learning disability in my much younger days. I was never a great student, in fact, probably not even a good student. I thought school was a social event. Now can you imagine that! I got through by the skin of my teeth. I do remember that when I decided many years ago to attempt J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College that I actually enjoyed it and it really wasn't that difficult. So I just assumed that this time around it would be the same. WRONG. These Professors are serious stuff. But I am loving it. It is really putting me to the challenge that I think and know that I need. This is the real deal. This is the way I am supposed to be feeling right now about school.
The first couple of weeks I complained about the amount of work and the difficulty I was having but this week I am blessed for the struggle in which I am forced to learn. Yes, I went to the doctor and he said that I was a prime candidate for ADHD. Devin has it and has been seeking treatment since the fifth grade. So it stirred up my thoughts that I might have it as well. Back in the 70's and even the 80's this was not something that was addressed. So I do plan to be tested just to see if that might be a obstacle in my learning process.
I am still trying to organize my study habits, which is also a challenge but by next semester I will have it mastered.
Well just wanted to drop in and say hello. I have tons of homework for my Monday class and it will take me all day. I have obligations at church today that I need to fulfil. I am doing great and loving every minute of it.
Oh, I also found out that I can park in the faculty parking lot after 5:00 PM, so getting to my car in the dark is better now. So scratch that worry off your list. And I am actually making some new friends. Now I just need to learn to love coffee and then I will be set. But I really don't see that happening. Later.

How can you label your self as add????????????
ReplyDeletewhatever. I think with your talent there is no room for that problem.
Even if you were not going to school it would be a busy world. We make ourselves busy.
I am doing nothing and I am still busy.
Going to Powhatan tomorrow to snoop around.
Take care and do your homework.
