Time in Between
I have time in between digesting my Lean Cuisine and creamed corn to fit in a quick blog before I head to the gym.I spend a lot of time thinking about the roots of my motivation. The first two years of college I was a neurotic studier. I always knew everything that I could before going into an exam. Then I got in to the business school. I still would go to class (occasionally) and always did well on exams, but the drive was gone. I knew that chances were likely that I would be offered a good internship, job, etc. with the grades I had, and studying the extra hours to perhaps do better than the genius children that ruled the b-school curve did not really interest me. So, I floated along the last two years of college. Soaking up some knowledge and blowing off the rest.
Today, and for the next ten months, and I find myself essentially being paid to study and learn. In no way is my pay now, or at the end of the program, related to my 'academic' performance. However, I am now leaning back towards my neurotic study habits. I am mystified, but pleased in this change.
Neither of the last two paragraphs are here nor there.
Except that they are.
