Things I've learned…. School Edition

Here I am, Tuesday morning, sitting in the library waiting to go to class and all I can think about are the things I’ve learned since coming back to school…

• I’ve learned where the library is.  I must admit, working on my bachelor’s degree I had no clue where the library was.
• People dress weird.  Either that or I do….
• British Literature is gory, especially Shakespeare.
• I had to relearn how to write a paper.  I’m still working on this fact…
• My backpack weighs about 24lbs.  No wonder my lower back hurts.  Question, why didn’t it hurt my first time through?  Less work or was it cause I was younger?
• Laptops are the it thing to have.  We were lucky to have desktops when I went through the first time.  Man what have times come to in the last 12 years!
• And on top of that, a lot of people have Mac’s.  It kind of makes me giggle.  
• Kids today (no offense because I was probably that way) have no idea what it’s like to be in the real world.  I love when they say, I’m not ready for this to be reality.  School isn’t reality sadly.  If only we all got summer breaks, fall breaks, winter breaks and spring breaks.
• I learned that England had a pretty interesting history/past.  And I’m only taking English classes.
• Going to a different school for my Master’s than what I did for my Bachelor’s is also teaching me some things.  In some ways they are identical and other ways they are totally different.  I’m still learning.

Ok I think that is enough of a list for the time being. That and I need to wrap it up so I can actually go to class.  Wish me luck, we’re watching Othello by Shakespeare.
