Dr. Greenlaws ECON 300

I never thought this day would come. I just sent in my final paper. I hope I have done enough editing to pull an A in this class. That would make me very happy. Anyway, since this is definately my last blog post for this class I thought I would leave my words of wisdom. I think the one thing I learned most in this class was that you don’t have to do everything alone. Getting advice is a good thing. There were many times during this semester when I was getting frusterated with this project because I was stuck. I either couldn’t find data, or a concept wasn’t making sense, or I wasn’t sure of the format. I think I spent more hours in Greenlaw’s office asking questions then in any other professors combined during the past two and a half years.

I would say I learned not to procrastinate, but that would be a lie. I knew that procrastination was bad, and yet, at times I still did. I guess a better thing I learned from this class than to not procrastinate, was the reprecussion of procrastination- how late you can stay up and still function. I have noticed that this time is much earlier than that of my freshman year. Massive amounts of coffee no longer work. From this, I started to learn to plan ahead. Procrastination no longer could be solved by all-nighters.

I learned what it’s like to work though a project, of your own design, from start to finish. It’s a big accomplishment even if the results were not that great. The process itself and the skills acquired were worth it.

 Finally, I have to saw one of the best benefits of this class, and I’m not tryin to sound corny or cheesy, were the people in it. Many people I did not know that well, or at all, going into the class, but by the end they were lending me Disney movies ..thanks sierra ; ) , inviting me out to party with them (always a plus), or I have formed a good friendship with. So in the end, I’m glad I was part of this class, and I definately can say I will walk away from this class with skills that will go far past the classroom and into real life situations I will face. So to yall, thanks and good luck with the rest of exams. I’ll see you next semester!
