sweet mother of moses
so i’m in the middle of my first spring term, and I had it all setup to be nice and easy, then I thought 6 credits, or the minimum, would be an insult to my college prowess, so then I added another class, went to my first day of all of them, then skipped a week. I have since returned and enrolled in a 14 hour a week (in class, so like 6-9:30 every day) course teaching Lean Six Sigma, been promoted to president of SIFE and charged with turning us into a top competitor next year, and been tasked with making up all my homework/quiz’s/projects for all my classes. I haven’t been this busy in a long time, I’m either in a meeting, at work, in class, or on a project literally every waking moment. I’ve fallen asleep while eating lunch cause I can’t get to bed before 2am and I’m back up at 6am every day. Life is crazy. The Six Sigma stuff is fascinating though, and I’m finding that I really like the idea of consulting, or building value within a company, or finding and fixing problems in the system as a whole. Tony Laturner seems to know his stuff pretty well, so it’s worthwhile now, who knows what doors it will open for me in the future. It’s tough for a lot of people because the theory behind it is counter every business/finance class you’ve ever taken, and makes most economists full of garbage all of the sudden. People don’t like when 4 years of study is contradicted, for me, however, it’s kind of refreshing because every one of those classes I’ve been in has always been a strugle to sit through because it never made sense in my mind, every chart and graph seemed to be missing something key to the process, now it’s making sense to me. Kind of nice to be on the side of “ahhh, I see” instead of “so your sure, this is seriously how it goes?….. mmmkay” Pretty good times
Anyway, life is dandy, I’m alive, can’t wait to get home though.
