I can see the light
Sorry for the lack of updates. I feel like a broken record: I start every email and post with I’m sorry.
I had a take-home accounting midterm over the weekend, a team paper and presentation on Tuesday as well as a MicroEconomics midterm. Today, I was at school until 8pm because I had to take the evening accounting class since I will miss my regular accounting class tomorrow. I’m going to a workshop in Bellevue at 3pm. It should be really interesting and I’m looking forward to it but man, this has been a long two weeks.
This weekend, I’m going on a “retreat” with the Women in Business club. It’s supposed to be relaxing and I think some of it will be but I also know that most of us will be studying for our upcoming statistics midterm on Monday.
Sorry if I sound pathetic. I’m really okay just a bit worn out. I think some sleeping in is in order.
In other semi-related news, I found out that I have a really good participation grade in some of my classes. I’m especially happy about this because A) participation is an important part of our grade; a concept I didn’t understand in undergrad and B) I used to be so shy and now I’m asking questions and actively participating. Go former wallflower Sarah!
I’m obviously tired so I think I’ll just go to bed now.

I heard once that introverts don’t much like high school because it’s essentially an environment that’s perfect for extraverts. Introverts do very well in college since it’s the perfect environment for them, solo study, individualized paths, solo accomplishment, etc. As a result, many introverts are fond of academia and often stick around to teach or study. It sounds like biz school may be a good balance between the two.
In my experience, the business world is a lot more like high school. It’s not so important what you do as who you do it with, much to the detriment of the socially awkward, the over sensitive, the unreliable, or anyone especially repellent for whatever reason. Although I don’t consider myself an introvert per se, I am constantly amazed at those people who possess the charm of a relaxed social confidence.
Interestingly, you never struck me as a wallflower. I think you are fairly balanced.
