I got almost a perfect score for my entire Professional Writing class.

[Tobin S.]

There were 5 major projects and several lesser assignments for a total of 435 possible points. I got 431 points.

Now I've got a math course that I have an exam for tomorrow and a final exam for on the 17th. I've got a 'A' in there right now, but 35% of the grade is on those final two exams.

I'll tell you what, I'm about worn out. I work about 50 hours a week and take two classes a semester. I've heard of people working full time and going to school full time, but I don't know how they do it. I'm looking forward to the winter break.

1. Good for you, my dear Tobin!

I know how you're doing it: You're very bright, you have a huge motivation, and you know what you want.

I hear ya about the winter break, though. I hope you get a nice long one!

Congratulations!

3. I recommend drinking HEAVILY on the night before a exam.

Most college students do it... I believe it's called "slamming for a test". I employed
that tactic for 6 years of college and it worked for me. At the end of those 6 years...

... I finally passed a course.

Seriously, WOOHOO on your "might-as-well-say-you-aced-the-course" results!!!

4. Well, I'm not at all surprised

about your writing grade!

Math was always a struggle until I finally got a "good" math professor. Sometimes getting math is just the way it's presented. But that said, I'll never take a math class for as long as I live!

I hear you about balancing work, school, and home life. I was a non-traditional student too raising a family. But the rewards are well worth it!

Am cheering for you.

6. Youth helps. Some.

My daughter is 21 (in a few weeks), three classes (two next semester) 40-50 hours a week. Yesterday she had the chance to get some overtime and worked over TWELVE hours and got in five minutes before we got up to start our day.


I had to stay up, until 1 in the morning last week and it took me five days to recover.

7. When I went back to college as an older adult I did great too

You're motivated. That's how you do it. You have plans and goals. Teachers like older students too.

8. Yes, you're worn out.

But you're The Man, Tobin! Winners do whatever it takes.
