After
a long weekend of Hokie Focus and then a really long day of Engineering Open
House, I was fit-to-be-tied yesterday when I left campus. Let’s just say, I was
not one to be reckoned with and the poor innocent elderly lady at the post
office learned this the hard way. I don’t
want to dwell on the details, but she mumbled under about my actions and I
responded to her mumbles. Was she correct? Was I rude? Was she over demanding of politeness
or respect of a complete stranger? Was I not showing politeness or respect to a
stranger?
The answers to all of these questions are based on your interpretation of the event.
Regardless, I should have been the bigger person and not responded the way I did.
I shouldn’t have responded to her passive aggressive mumblings. I failed at being a good person at the post office yesterday because
I let this stranger (who means nothing to me) provoke me.
I
will do better today. As I’ve always told you guys, you only have to be better
than the person you were yesterday.

Recently research has proven that taking notes by hand forces you to actively listen and decide what’s important. Additionally, it has demonstrated that students that take notes on their laptop perform more poorly in classes and rate themselves as less satisfied with their college educations.
