A Blind Leap

Internet, I quit my job.

Yeah, I know. It’s a recession. And yeah, I know, I’m a little strapped for cash. And yeah, I know I’m still in school. I know, it’s a risk, and it’s scary, and it might be a little foolish… but I did it.

It’s a surreal experience to cut oneself off from what is basically their only source of monetary lifeblood.

I don’t know how I’m going to be putting food on my plate, gas in my car or a roof over my head two weeks from now, and that kind of freaks me out. I just know that whatever happens, it will be something awesome and fulfilling that allows me to stretch myself as a person.

Here’s to new adventures!

School’s In

I’m back in school.

I love school… really I do. I enjoy expanding my talents, exploring new things, and especially meeting new people. However, the longer I’m there the more I realize how true this is:

Already this semester I’ve had professors approach me with questions about the cutting edge of their own industry. Ironically, it’s those professors that will give me the B’s and C’s because I refuse to do their busy work. I mean, I have better things to do… like network on Twitter.

I still haven’t bought my books, because I can’t justify dumping $300+ on outdated texts that will do me little to no good.

Maybe I need to change my attitude. Or maybe it’s time for us to change our perception of what a university education is, and how it should work.

What do you think?
