Who am I at school?

I am a decent student who enjoys learning new things.   I tend to be a serious student who wants to really understand why things work the way they do, and what is the best way to do something.  Not sure how I will be in this masters program as I do sometimes get frustrated with technology.  I don't find it as intuitive as I think it should be.  When I was younger I liked technology more.  There used to be more manuals that you could read rather than video, and it was easier to learn everything.  My learning style is more heavily read/write oriented.   However, I know many of my students will be visual learners and other types of learners and finding ways to integrate technology into my classroom will help me reach more students.  I'm excited to learn how I can use technology in my future classroom.

This is my third graduate program.  I guess that truly makes me a life-long learner.  However, it is the first program where I am significantly older than most of the other students.  I've noticed that sometimes it takes me longer to fully process things the way I want to.  I wonder if this is because I have so many more experiences to relate new information to, or if I just think more deeply about things.  I also tend to procrastinate on assignments.  If I start them too early, I'm afraid I will devote far too much time to them.  In another class, I discovered that I had spent four times as much time as others had spent on one project.
