Being in college again makes me feel like I am 20 again...sometimes. But every now and then, I need to remind myself, I'm an adult, I make my own choices and I deal with my own consequences.
We are headed to the beach on Saturday for a week with my whole family. This is a big trip to celebrate my parents 40th Anniversary! We planned this trip last year knowing that I was going to be in school, but it was honestly the best time to take this trip. I will be missing a week of school, but I have made arrangements and it seems like things will be good.
But I have this one professor that thinks it is wrong for me to be gone and questioned my judgement on taking classes this summer knowing that I would take off a week. I really let her comment get to me until I talked to my sister Megan and she reminded me that I am an adult, not 20. I made the best decision for my family and I will deal with whatever consequences come my way... Plus I have been in this class for over a month now and after what I have seen of her lectures, I won't really be missing much :)

I'm an Adult, Right??

There are those professors who have a god-complex. I had one of the worst at AU for 3 classes. He was determined to demonstrate the he was smarter than everyone else by talking over your head. It only made him look like a jerk. One of his classes was a 200 level and you had to pass it (and 2 others at the same level) in order to take the 400 courses in that department (my major). That class had the 2nd lowest gpa on campus (#1 was a grad level engineering course). MANY students went in the final with a b and failed the class.
I EARNED a C and was jubilant.
I only remember that he needed to shave (had a long, Yankee-style beard, year-round!) and that he was a jerk.
I could have learned soooo much from his courses. They had such potential. Yet his assitude prevented it.
oops! did I just say that?
Have fun with your parents! They're much more important than a class. Even if you fail the class, you've passed this test.
Go have fun - you deserve it. You aren't skipping out from a hangover or anything.
