School Vs. Work

Although I've never really stopped working while I'm in school, I must admit, I feel more comfortable in the work environment than I do in the academic setting. Lately, I've been feeling as if I'm not cut out for this much school - or perhaps, I'm feeling a bit burnt out. I think it's my refusal to adopt the acadamic lingo and talk like I'm a pompous over-achiever. It's just not working for me! It's all about saying one thing but using 20 thousand words to explain it.

Work... I've always had a sense of security at work because I know I work hard and well. I never have to deal with issues of incompetency at work.. not like I do at school. You're never graded at work with a percentage that begs the question, "Where did the 0.8 come from?"

I know that all this venting is going to subside eventually. Perhaps (here's to hoping) I'll become more comfortable at school and learn to be a sheep...follow the crowd and start using bigger words! Man.. I sure do wish things were simpler...
