Juggling Act

School, work, homework, wife, phone calls to the kids, home football games, date night, and on, and on, and on. I completely forgot how taxing and time consuming college can be. Now that I'm married with a wife and kids and have a full time job just adds to the difficulty level. However this time around I am a lot more focused and know how important it is to finished. I am surprisingly not the only non traditional student attend Metropolis U. That's what they call students with a few more miles and a lot more experience; Non-Traditional. In my Algebra class I am amazed at how far ahead I am of the 18 and 19 year old students fresh out of High School. These kids stated they took calculus in High school but can't grasp the basics of Algebra. One of the girls is on her second time around on the same class and she made a 56 on our first exam. I actually felt pretty good about my 91 and would have done better if I had slowed down a little and didn't make some careless mistakes. In my National Government class I was one of only six out of thirty plus students to make an A. My professor actually commented to me after class " Nice work on the exam." I have also taken my first History exam (Western Civilizations 1700) but have not learned the results of my test yet. Going back to School has become a topic of discussion with the superkids on the phone. It cracks me up to here SB ask me how my classes are going and what grades I am making in my classes. After I tell him about my classes and homework it jogs his memory and he then tells me more about what's going on in his classes. It has also had the same effect on my discussions with SG about school as well. Over all I am really enjoying College but I am so tired all the time. I have never read so much before and fortunately I am retaining the majority of it at least until the exam so far. I can't wait for the first break just so I can sleep in for a change. This is about all I have time for to post, but I will hopefully update soon.
