Enthused

" Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation and a pinch of creativity" Bo Bennett

What I have noticed about my self as a life time student is that in the past I was never enthusiastic about my academic prospects. Nothing really moved me. I did only enough to meet a certain need of that time. Taking random courses with no definitive goal insight. Looking at my transcript one would wonder "what were those needs again?" (laughing)
Now that I am back in school, there is something different. I actually know where I would like to be. This term my grades are more than average. There is a goal set. I can say that there is enthusiasm bubbling in my gut for the path I am on. Never have I felt so determined academically.
Students who are just in school randomly taking courses but not taking the time to truly figure out themselves in relation to their goals are honestly wasting their time. They will either flunk miserably or find themselves in a career that is unsatisfactory. There should be a sense of enthusiasm in one's academic career, so that there can be a sense of fulfillment in one's life.

BE EVER READY!

I've been hearing the cries of "snow! snow!" all winter long (since November), and now that it's here we act surprised! I'm sitting here in my apartment waiting for the sounds of the plow trucks, but they never come. Where are these blessed trucks this winter morning? Why aren't they here wielding their salt of rage on this cursed snow!?! Did we have disbelief in our own words of snow?Granted I'm not a native of Nashville... but if you speak of snow for so long there should have been proper previsions made in a timely fashion.

For a city that isn't used to snow of this capacity, there should have been enough sense of paranoia to set aside some funds and lay out a plan of immediate action for such a time as this. Looking at the world news and seeing all the calamity, we should be EVER READY for what may come!
