Is it Jargon?

Perhaps it is...or maybe I should consider my audience or the company I keep.

I continue saying I, I, I. It's really not about me, it never has been. Momma "told me long ago never to walk in any one's shadow". I'm kidding, song lyrics. But, she did say to marry someone on my level as it would facilitate share levels of communication making it not as difficult. I have seen that in my "dating". 

This post is pretty trivial, but as more and more people ask me about school I am inclined to feel as though I am speaking a foreign language. It is often that I am asked what I am studying, or what classes am I taking. Being me, and pretty humble I don't like to draw much attention to myself so speaking about school is not something I enjoy much anyway.

S/N: I should be working on homework, not posting my thoughts. Time Management, I lack the skill. Not a strong suit hee hee.

People will ask, so "what are you studying?"
I reply, " I'm getting my MBA! "
"Oh, in what?"
"Hmm, business administration"
"Oh, ok.

I know MBA's are nationally recognized, but again you have to consider the audience. Even in health care. I have since changed my language, unless I know for sure to whom I am speaking, now it's " I'm in grad school " or "getting my Masters". Most understand that. Right?

Then, I still have to go further into detail regarding my course work. While the concept is not complicated, the explanation of it is. Then I really feel as though I am giving a mini bio on myself. Why can't people ask the weather or if I have a bunch of babies and dead beat dads around :)

 I don't feel people actually care, but I guess it's good conversation. I should be thrilled right?! I like saying I'm getting my MBA, not explaining. Why I would not make a good teacher. My patience is situational and mood oriented.

CHEESE. YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA!
