So, alright, I'll be the first to admit that I procrastinate - but apparently I am figuring out that homework actually needs to be done. I know, right? After reading my new unexpected-favorite book series repeatedly, I finally got back to school in my CEO position and decided that THIS semester.. will be different....HAHAHA ya right, like I haven't said that before. I know. Anyway, because of my 21 credits, job, and life I have chosen to make sure that no (or at least very few) homework assignments go undone - or late. This is of course, keeping in mind that I have to remember to finish up a very important class from last semester..So, we will see how well this new plan will go - probably not very well, but we will see.
Wow, if I had posted this where I initially left off, it would have been like two sentences... actually more than two- maybe four or so. Today has been so busy, I have been moving non-stop and here I am at 12:30am working on my blog while my homework page loads, sad-sad day.
Here's what I don't understand... why do all my classes have an 'online component?' do teachers really think that this helps the students? NO, all it does is make things, like turning in assignments harder... because instead of just handwritting a quick assignment in my spare time, I have to take time out of my already packed schedule to get settled in with my computer and type for 20 min- an assignment that would normally take 5 min.. Jerks! Just because computers are awesome doesn't mean that they have to be used for everything in life. Sure, I could just as easily call up my friends and vent about computers and stupid D2L, but I'd rather sit down on my futon with my computer in my lap and my door open to keep an eye on my residents and type up a little post for my friends (mainly Sharon) to read on their own time. But wait, I'm doing what I want teachers to do... let me write my damn assignments when I have time! It is so much easier to find time to sit down with a pen and paper than a computer with internet connection, especially in brick and cynderblock buildings in which wireless does not effectively navigate (trust me, i know... we have had countless problems with routers this year already).
Ah, the good 'ol days of having free time, I barely remember what that phrase means anymore - its like an ancient term in an ancient language... "free time?" What is that, where did it come from, how did people do it??? I don't know... but I want it back.. Grr...
Have Fun!!
