Tenacity & Paying it Forward

1) I wasn't great at it at first, but in order to keep up with the course, you must stay on top of watching the lectures and at least start your work early.  The "cupcakes" aren't a joke.  If you aren't paying attention, they can catch you off guard.  Even though it's an elective for most, this class is definitely one that requires hard work for one to succeed.

2) I'm currently in the "pulling through" phase of tenacity.  I've struggled with tenacity since arriving at the University and found myself in a situation that has two ways out: leaving the school or working my ass off to get all A's this semester and likely the next as well.  This class is greatly contributing to my tenacious mentality because of the surprising amount of attention that it requires.  I can't slack and, therefore, have to spread my focus out even more.

3) To any students taking this class now or in the future, make sure to attend as many of Dr. Pryor's lectures as possible and watch the rest of them on time.  He's pretty entertaining, so you won't be falling asleep in class.  Second, I'd ask that you put real effort into looking at business opportunities.  Many people have very creative projects that they're pursuing in this class.  With a creative project, writing about it just gets easy.  Lastly, you should definitely start writing your blog posts at least two days in advance.  The noon due date is a lot more stressful than it seems (I'll be turning this one in at 11) and sometimes these posts can be very time-consuming.  Especially the information search ones.
