What kind of affect is school having on my life?
I could say that school is great or that, as of now, my educational experiences have been positive and insightful; but the truth is that this is not for everyone. Sometimes I wonder is it really for me. School has, and probably always will, caused me an enormous amount of stress. It never fails! Once I think that everything is going smoothly something happens and everything turns into one big mess. If someone were to come up to me today and ask me about school: how I liked it or if I enjoyed it; my answer would be no. Maybe I'm just venting today, but I can't think of one thing that I've enjoyed about my time spent at Kaplan University. I've spent the last 6 weeks working towards something else that was supposed to help me pay for school, but I've had more fun in that 6 weeks than I will probably ever have attending this school. I understand that life is not all fun and games, but it's not all misery and sorrow either. In life, you should be able to find a little joy in what you do. I don't feel that the only satisfaction that I should get from getting my education should be simply receiving a degree; I feel that the knowledge that I am receiving should excite me and encourage me to continue to try and learn more. Maybe for a person like me, online classes isn't such a great idea. I might need that fact- to- face contact a little more than I anticipated. Over the holidays I plan to reevaluate my plans and determine if this is the rout that I want to continue to pursue.
