Online Schooling

Speaking of schooling. Did I tell you that I have obtained most of my undergrad and graduate school online? It was really the best fit for me. I do not see anything wrong with Online Schooling in fact, in some cases, I believe that I honestly learned more taking a class online than I may have taking an on campus class. For instance, I took all three algebra classes, beginner, intermediate and college algebra online and I pulled one B (beginner no less!) and two As. I don’t believe that I would have gotten nearly as good a grade, nor would I have retained as much information had I taken those classes on campus. There are so many distractions that come with an on campus class, and while I agree a good argument can be made for distractions at home that may keep a student from concentrating, I honestly believe that dedicated online students take the classes more seriously and I dare say are more driven to complete the work with a grade that means something to them. They are not simply attending class because they are supposed to be or because someone is telling them too. And, I would throw out there as food for thought, perhaps some of the high school and college age kids who don’t really acclimate to school or have social issues may fare better in an online class and obtain the education they seek, with far less obstacles than they may face otherwise.

Doods and Doodettes

Can you believe it! Nine weeks. I have nine weeks of school left until I graduate with a Masters in Psychology!

Can you say Dude. Dooood.

I can hardly believe it myself. What will I do with all that free time? Oh I know. Halloween. Thanksgiving. Christmas. I will have plenty to do until at least January.

Then. Wait for it. Wait for it...

I'm taking the February LSAT. Again. Because dangit! I want to go to law school! I do. I do. I do!!!

Buried

I have so much to do these days it seems that every waking minute I'm on the computer working or doing homework or writing letters or doing anything other than what I want to be doing. I would love to sleep in, get up around 10a.m. then sit on the patio in my jammies sipping coffee and browsing the internet or reading blogs or shopping or anything that does not require a lot of thought on my part.

It's good to dream. Regular posting resumes later this week. Right now, I'm writing a very large paper. On a very boring subject.
