I like lists. I like making them, and I really like checking things off them. I like knowing where I'm going and recognizing it when I've arrived.
School was easy. You studied, you took tests, you wrote papers, you did whatever you did and someone who was smarter than you told you if you did it right. Even if they didn't know the exact information (I had a professor once who gave me an A on a paper for no other reason than that I'd discovered something in my research--and questioned it--that he hadn't been aware of in thirty years of studying the subject).
Life is a little more uncertain. You do what you're doing, and then you check in with yourself to see if you got where you thought you would.
