While we all want to be polite, treat them as guests in your home and offer our roomies all of the advantages but by being first you get to pick the best side of the room.<br /><br />It would have been nice, though, to have shared some of the orientation, rules meetings and social events with her. Any explanation about why her arrival has been delayed?<br /><br />When I read the suggestion from the McCarthys about treating this class like a job, I'm reminded of what I wrote to you all in the original packet about how you need to treat being a part of the ILC as a job. Because you're receiving something (an education and unequaled opportunities), everyone is expecting something in return. On a job when you don't deliver you're usually fired. In this class and with the ILC you get a bad grade (that will follow you forever) and you receive the scorn of your peers. [Both are bad things.] Do well, though, and the riches last forever.<br /><br />I think you're in for a wonderful surprise, Beilul, once you start this class.Don Gosneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110247579694408858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2288780630476703384.post-63168175627497809282010-06-27T14:41:22.151-07:002010-06-27T14:41:22.151-07:00Thats really nice.
