(no subject)

[vicarz]

I'm not going to update or read anyone else's LJ, at least not from anyplace but perhaps work ironcially enough. This week I'm in school and training so I can't follow a thing.

School is turning out to be ok, the subject matter is fun to fuss over, the classes while 5 days a week are short enough that I stay focussed throughout the session, and...I just feel like I can do this. The first year is supposed to be the hardest, but I'm not seeing the big deal except for the volume of work. Socratic method? Gee asshole, what's so scary about being prepared for class? I'm not scared of speaking in public, so I suppose that fear thing doesn't work on me. Two of my classes already look reasonable in terms of workload, two suck, but two hard courses seems like a manageable load.

Nasty aside - many non-native english speakers in my classes make me more confident for I am quite fluent and may have a faster / easier time than they will. Am I horrible for thinking their language barrier is good for me?

In matters of competition and ambition such things are only distilled into advantage and disadvantage. Right now you have an advantage, later it might become an opportunity. It is what it is. What you do with it makes the difference.
