Finished my first course and ended with an ‘A’ (99.4%). There was an issue with a individual project. I was told there was a minor grammatical error. I don’t agree, but knowing how much I typically need editing, I’m not totally surprised. Just a little annoyed. I wanted straight, high-bar 100% in everything.
What this has made me feel is to look even closer to get that perfection.
Today, my next two courses began and I’m off to a great start. Finished some work early. The problem with starting/finishing early is I’m left with little to do for the rest of the week. I feel antsy during the downtime.
I feel the same way at work. I feel like I need more to do. More control of things. Responsibility.
On the other hand, I need to shut up before they actually give it to me. The downtime; the peace and quiet of NOT being in a supervisor position is blissfully wonderful.
Oh! Today I reminded myself of the other things I was supposed to be doing while getting this degree: Learning a musical instrument, joining one of a few local organizations (lodges, Toastmasters, etc) and continued study of the LSAT. All of these things are valued for the future provided I incorporate them into my life starting now.
So much for not having much to do.
