Academia
Posted by tony under Family Journal
Did I ever tell you about how different life is going to be on the inside. I am about to begin school again this fall after a short 6 year break. I am concerned that I may not be college material after working in the “real world” for so long. I was pretty worried about all the people that I will meet who are scholars and so much smarter than I am. I was quite nervous on the day I went to meet with my advisor for the first time. These feelings of inadequacy were floating around my head that first day, until I entered the business building on campus and saw my first posted sign in Academia. I think I’ll do ok.

That is pretty funny. I wonder if they put that there for the advisors or the professsors?
Seriously, take a student sucess class. I had a lot of negative ideas about one. I thought it was more likely to be titled, “take this is you are stupid.” After years of avoiding I found myself making a TV show of one. I was PAID to be there. I paid attention and was amazed at the material….it sounded like this,”Ok students, today we are going go over some research that MIT masters students just completed….according to their study if you take notes in class they way they suggest, you will retain more information in less time.
