They say insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting the same result each time. It's a good definition. I still wish I knew who "they" were...
Three days a week, I attend college. I get up 30 minutes earlier, rush to get my wife, my son, and myself where we need to be by 7:50 (I would say 8, but I need to get a good space.) I get to one class, barely on time, and I don't really like it that much, but I need to take it, I need to be active in it, because capitalism needs to be defended.
Then I go to my favorite class, Business Law. I wait on an elevator that is the slowest I have ever seen. It stops on my floor, but don't get on! It still has to get on the bottom floor. But you should have got on, because it picked up people on the bottom floor, and now it's full. Take the stairs.
This class is usually short, because he is retiring next year. He teaches, you learn, you leave. Most go to study, some go to goof off. I go to work. I am thankful for my job. I really am. But I have done the same thing for eight years! Some days it's good. Some days, um, no.
The only relief I have is that I get to come home to that wife and son. We put him to bed, and I pick up a textbook. I have read more in the past month than I have read in thirteen years.
Two days later, (MWF) I do it again.
It is insane.
But down the road, it will pay off.
