There were legends about what a breeze this class was: copy notes like crazy, which was easy to do b/c professor's lectures were so organized and distilled; memorize notes. Me? I had to analyze, and try to understand, and make some kind of synthesis about cleverly title terms like "prime rate" and "gross national product." I was sure I was missing something b/c the concepts seemed so insultingly commonsensical. I had no ambitions in economics, but I wanted the easy A like everyone else.Italian Mamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486740904602696078.post-67721151080721409402012-12-19T10:39:35.941-08:002012-12-19T10:39:35.941-08:00Oh, yes.

My freshman year was a slap in the face as I received (earned?) one F and two D's. Whoops. It was a rude awakening to me that I needed to work hard and should probably not pursue my Pharmacy major. After re-taking Chemistry and adding several Biology and Physics classes to my transcript, I changed majors to Psychology and enjoyed every class for the rest of college!Kristin Shttp://kristinwithani.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
