It has been 4 years since I was in school. Thoughts from the week-and-a-half:
My lit teacher seems pretty awesome actually...Even though I only have her for an online course, but she lets her personality come through. I am hoping I can take an in class course with her at some point. And I am glad that I opted to go with this course in general. I think the class is going to help me develop the skills that I want it to and expand my horizons.
Math is a lot of busy work. I am glad that I opted to go with the algebra level I did. It puts me a little behind, but right now I think it was the right choice. We will see how it will translate next semester. But OMG the busy work...I spent about 6 hours doing my homework. I am not even kidding.
I am not sure about anthropology yet. This is the course that topic-wise I was the most excited about. And I still am to an extent. I opted not to go into anthropology because I don't think it will translate to the career path I want, but I still have a strong interest in this field of study. I am not sure how the actual class is going to go for me. From the first class, my learning style and the teacher's presentation style don't match. However, it is only the first week.
And just because I was curious:
I have 112 pages to read in Frankenstein (I am at page 93) and then I have 3 papers to write (in the first three weeks). I also need to watch a Disney film for one of those papers which I am hoping I will accomplish tomorrow.
For cultural anthropology I have read 67 pages and had two pages of reactionary responses to complete (in the first week). I also need to find and start reading a book on cultural anthropology for my final project.
For Algebra - 580 problems - 6 hours of work. Test on Thursday.
I am sort of proud of myself, but I am actually wondering how I am going to make this work without three day weekends every week. Never mind...I am not going to think about it. I will do this. There is no question.
