Lessons I’ve Learned About Myself in COMM 299
March 25th, 2011This year COMM 299 has taught me things about myself in a way that has come more in the form of life lessons about myself as a person rather than undiscovered inner qualities (I’m sure I’m a gold mine). This semester I’ve definitely been having a lot of trouble keeping up with school, housing, money, and securing a job for the summer that’ll get me through next year. I’ll admit I tend to let my focus on academic matters slip and become passive in my studies. As such I managed to be one of the few students that didn’t sign up for an interview (I got a bunch of real ones instead). This was because I hadn’t been keeping up online so I had issues creating a COOL account and due to a disconnect in information I attempted to sign up for remaining spaces online which of course, you had to sign up for in person.
So what’s the lesson here besides pay more attention in class? Well apropos to my previous post I learned that without conscious diligence, I could seriously lose sight of what’s important and what needs to be dealt with at an elevated level of involvement. The in-class portion of COMM 299 highlighted the strengths (in that gold mine) I have that I can use to my advantage to ensure I keep the balance that lets me live the way I do (Whistler every weekend? Yes please).
