Schools Out
Today we celebrate. Let us raise our glasses to the first semester conquered. For the past few months I have been in my cave studying my pants off. For those that do not know the story, I have decided to return to school and finally get that piece of paper that says I am somewhat a member of society. I have chosen Hunter to fulfill this need and I have been enjoying every moment.
It has its requirements of course. Working full time and taking nine credits has taken its toll on me. The French alone is enough to kill me but reading Descarte, Kant, and Frankfurt in philosophy make up for it.
Deciding to go to school six years later truly has its benefits. After high school I hated everything that was considered to be academic. I would not have put in the time and effort I am putting into it now. However those six years allowed me to experience the real world and make a better decision for my future. Even if It is going to take me 4 to 10 years to get there.
This semester recap includes: Barley surviving French 101 (Est-ce que vous parlez français? Est-ce que vous pouvez aider moi practique?) but it is safe to say I understand a good amount of French. After todays final I hope to get my first “A” ever in Math. Lastly, philosophy will blow your mind; Read it.
Here’s to more stress and sleepless nights. Here here!
