What I did today:


  1. Finished week 2 of "America's Written Constitution" which is being offered by Yale University on Coursera. Professor Amar's lectures are very entertaining and informative. I wish more law courses were taught from a historical perspective since law on its own can be a very dry subject.
  2. Started the first week of another course. I won't talk about it in great detail right now since I'm barely in the first week of lectures. 
  3. Applied to a couple bank teller positions. I honestly wouldn't mind being a teller. Developing a wealth of finance terms and getting work experience in a position that demands lots of responsibility sounds like a decent career move. The tuition benefits wouldn't hurt either, whether the benefits include college tuition reimbursement or training programs. 
  4. Reviewed some basic calculus. I don't have an urgent need to know calculus, but I want to maintain a working knowledge of at least differential calculus. You never know when abstract background mathematics knowledge can come in handy. *cough*statistics*cough*
  5. Found a study conducted by Duke University on how employers view MOOCs. I haven't read it yet, but I'll start skimming it over as bedtime reading. 
Whelp, now I have to prepare for the next day. Tomorrow's schedule:
  • shop for winter clothing (Most "fun" part of the day)
  • draft a couple cover letters
  • study a bit
  • start planning out how I'll seriously prepare for the first half of the A+ certification
