School starts tonight, and as usual, I am a wreck. I made the mistake of double checking the course description immediately prior to going to bed last night...and...you guessed it! "I couldn't sleep at all last night. Do do dodo do".* This course is one of the most intimidating that I've faced thus far. The course is "Introduction to Business & Technical Writing". My reasoning when I scheduled this course? I love to write, and I have occasion to write on my job. Seems like a good fit. Right? I thought so too, until I took a closer look at what the course entails. I will be writing proposals, doing analyses, and of course, technical writing. What was I thinking?!?!? I hope I'm just experiencing my usual beginning of the semester jitters. I've been trying to boost my confidence all day today. I figure that if the kiddies, (who will most assuredly be playing with their Smart phones for most of the evening), can handle the class, I should be able to, considering I'll be focused (provided of course, that I can stay awake), I can already spell and write in complete sentences, and I've been working for over forty years. I had to have learned something in all of that time.
Oh-I almost forgot. One of my friends (?) cautioned me against doing most of my course work during the first week of the semester. Ha! I hope I've learned to interpret a syllabus by now!
