Writing Assignment #1-Why am I doing this?

I still can’t believe I actually signed up for an English class. I unofficially have three classes left for my degree. They are the classes that I do not want to do, no offense Professor Sullivan. I am taking this class because a former co-worker who took a position at Rogue Community College in southern Oregon wants me to Teach with him. I would be teaching automotive classes. Wrenching not writing.

I think the most important skill for me to have for this course is the discipline to complete it. The reading will be hard for me to do because it is not technical automotive stuff. The writing will be hard because I do not like to write. A positive characteristic that I have is I tend to be a perfectionist when working on things with my hands so I will apply that here as well. Also I am not a quitter so I will work this in somehow. Did I mention that that I am married three teenagers? Did I mention that we are in the middle of remodeling our house so that we can sell it and take the opportunity in Oregon? Have any of you remodeled a house before? I don’t like it, I prefer grease instead of sawdust. So far we have rented a connex and moved everything we can live without into it for about the next two months. Then we gutted the downstairs in preparation for an actual heating system, other than wood.

My point in this writing is that I am feeling overwhelmed by adding this class to my plate.
