After taking Ethics in America this afternoon, I am now exactly half way through my degree.
This evening I was looking at all the exams I have taken so far (61 credits worth), and also at all the exams I still have to take. I said to my wife, "Boy! This is a long hard slog!"
She just laughed and said, "What are you talking about? You only started in November!"
I can totally see her point!
But it does get exhausting studying for one test after another. It is certainly NOT a walk in the park. It is not something that just anybody could do successfully.
Yes, I have earned 61 credits in only six months....but I have had to work darn hard to achieve that. Most students take about 5 different subjects per semester because studying any more subjects than that would cause burnout.....and yet we here regularly study 5 different subjects a month. Heck, I have studied 5 different subjects in ONE WEEK before...and passed....and earned all A's.
I'm proud of that! I'm proud of the fact that I am able to earn my degree this way because I know that many people could not!
I always knew I was smart enough to earn a degree, I just never got the opportunity. Well now I do have the opportunity, and I am going for it. Nay-sayers be damned: I am getting my degree! I'm proud of myself!
I'm proud...and so should all of you be!
We're accomplishing so much in such a short time. It is so much hard work, and yet we are doing it. We are succeeding! We are thriving!
When those 'normal' college students have earned 61 credits in six months; have studied for, and passed 19 different subjects in six months....then.....maybe....maybe then I might listen to what they have to say!
Until then....screw 'em! I'm getting my degree! Dammit!
