So about that Hermione Granger costume...

Got a 98 on my Intro to Business exam from last week. I was approached by my instructor in the hall after my Accounting class--he told me I had the highest grade on the test. ::tap dances::

Thing is, it wasn't that hard. Seriously. This particular instructor tells you EXACTLY what is going to be on the test and doesn't test on anything that wasn

You have a serious advantage...

[esotericalil]

a few years older makes a HUGE difference in willingness to apply oneself. And you have been in the working world for almost a decade, with extra points for handling the business aspects of your band and knowing much of what goes on with Esoterica and other businesses of your friends. This is why a lot of universities give credits for life experiences - just living sucessfully teaches one a great many things. PLUS you have a high level of motivation since you KNOW where you want to apply what you are learning - again something many of the other students won't begin to see for a number of years. This is why a lot of countries have the youth spend a couple of years in the military before heading off to university - it tends to make them more ready for the learning process both emotionally and mentally. Taking a couple of years off before heading off to school really is a good idea for many many kids.

I think it was definitely the best bet for me. It's nice to be a straight A student. I haven't been that since I was about 7 ;)

" these classes cost money. Why on earth wouldn't you apply yourself?It’s easy to get a D in a class when you only show up for the exams or don't turn in one or more assignments

Aye, it seems like there are quite a few of that type wandering around campus...

Is red your natural hair color?

[irenejericho]

No, it isn't. My natural hair color is dark blond. It has some red in it courtesy of my grandmother, but it's nowhere close to the vibrant shades I prefer these days. Although I got her coloring, I didn't get my granny's copper-red hair...

[flewellyn]

Red is definitely more "you", I think.

[irenejericho]

I've always thought so ;) My natural-redhead friends say that I have the personality of a redhead, so I'm allowed to dye my hair their coveted color. lol

[ladykorinna]

Hrm.. I will get back to you on the question thing.

I want to know what ever happened with the acrylics class you were taking? Saw that one cobalt painting of Kwan-Yin and then *poof* never heard anything else about it. :)

[irenejericho]

Unfortunately, the first ~four~ classes coincided with weird conflicts, so I ended up dropping the course. I'm hoping to take it back up again in the future, but for now I don't have enough time...
