What lesson am I really learning

I am learning about having to plod through work just to get the credit. I now know what my students feel like when they aren't enthused, but have to do the work.

I am learning about the "management" side of DE. Do I want to do this? Maybe if I want to run a business. Probably not within an organizational context --but who knows--never say never. Although the material is dry, what I'm learning is the insitutional context, and the entrepreneurial context -- what is My vision for myself? What is my mission statement? What are my goals to carry that out? That is the "secret" chunked down.
