										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night marked the third time that I sat in a classroom as a student since September began.  As I&#8217;ve written on this blog before, I&#8217;m taking a class in a program at the local university where I teach for a few reasons.  First, it counts towards the professional development that I have to complete for my day job.  Second, it&#8217;s part of a larger certificate program that I&#8217;ve enrolled in at the university.  And third, it&#8217;s a free course since this is the same university where I teach an undergraduate course.  Not a bad trio of reasons to take a course, right?</p>
<p>Now, while there are some things about being a student that I dislike, I have to admit that I really do enjoy being a student again.  Some might think that this is sort of weird, but when you consider that I&#8217;ve spent 25 or 26 of my 28 years on this planet as a student it&#8217;s not really so outlandish that I would respond well to the classroom atmosphere, is it?</p>
<p>One of the things that I really don&#8217;t like about the course that I&#8217;m taking is that it is a two hour and forty-five minute session.  Granted, the class is only once a week and we have a fifteen minute break somewhere in the middle of the session, but it&#8217;s still a long time to sit in what is a relatively small room with eighteen or nineteen other people.</p>
<p>However, the content of the course is great.  It&#8217;s focused around communication at the executive/professional level and the professor who teaches the course has provided us with some great reading material.  As much as I really need to relax during the week because of the million and one other things that I have going on in my life, I do get some odd enjoyment out of reading the material and participating in class.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a sucker for being a student, I guess.  I should just stop the BS and go get a Ph.D already&#8230;</p>
