Going back to Pilot
After a stressful year of remote learning, I had pretty much decided that would be it for me in Pilot for a while. I missed everyone, I missed the structure of classes, and I missed not feeling all the stress of responsibility. I'd go back, and I'd thrive in all my classes after learning so much about independent learning the first time around.
Well, that didn't happen.
Although I was doing fine academically, I was miserable within weeks. I couldn't stand 'regular' classes anymore. So I switched to Pilot for half my classes and never looked back. It wasn't always easy, but as I discovered in my cognitive science research for my writing class, real learning never is. We learn best when we struggle at the edges of what we're capable of, to push ourselves just a little beyond our comfort zones.
