Best and Worst

(This is our cat Maui, he has nothing to do with what I am posting on this entry, I just wanted to add a picture and I liked this one.)
The idea for this entry came to me while driving home from school last night at 10:30. I was thinking about what I love about school, but to be fair and balanced I will also tell you what I don't love.
So, the WORST for me is-

Forgetting stuff.

Maybe it's because I am taking 16 credits, or maybe I would have this problem with only 3 credits, who knows. I feel like I am continually trying to cram so much stuff into my head that no matter how hard I try and how much I am interested in what I am learning, a lot of it must be leaking out somewhere. Instead of remember every cool little detail of what I learned, I often feel like I am only left with general ideas...the moral to the story so to speak.

And the BEST part is-

Having a class that I love so much that even at 10:30 at night when I've been sitting in lectures for over 5 hours, I don't want it to end.

I love it when the lecture or discussion is on a topic that fascinates me and gets the wheels turning. I start making connections in my mind with things from this lecture, from other classes, and from my life and it's EXCITING! I have been so impressed with this instructor that I would take another class just because he was teaching it. (don't worry I'm not trying to influence my grade, I'm pretty sure he doesn't follow my blog) I have to admit that I have honestly enjoyed most of the classes that I've taken in the last 3 years, in fact I can only think of one class that I have really, truly, hated. This semester I look forward to Monday nights.
