So first of all before I start my rant about being nervous, I want to mention that my DS passed his Law Enforcement DSST today, which made my entire day and is a great early birthday present for him. He'll be 16 on Sunday and now has 6 college credits. So proud ![Smile Smile](https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/images/smilies/smile.png)
After coming back from the testing center and being SUPER proud of DS, I decided to log on to see if I was finally able to log into my first MBA class. It officially starts on Monday, but it was supposed to be unlocked to view as of today.
As you can see from my link, my MBA is fully bilingual and while I'm fully fluent in Spanish, the thought of graduate-level Spanish is intimidating. I was really hoping that my first class would be in English. I was SO happy a few weeks ago when I bought my text and saw that it was in English. I breathed a sigh of relief.. after all, wouldn't it be nice to get the hang of MBA assignments in my native language before moving on to something more difficult?
Well.. I just logged in to see the syllabus and it's ALL in Spanish.. assignments, expectations, forum posts, etc... So this makes it much more difficult. I have to read an English book and then translate my thoughts into Spanish for each assignment
I don't know how other people are, but when I speak in English, I think in English. When I speak Spanish, my thoughts are also in Spanish. Translating is much, much more difficult for me. :eek: I know I can do this, but it will be a heck of a lot more challenging than I had thought.
SOOOO Nervous
