Well today 5 minutes after finishing my morning coffee I logged on to my school's web site to get some information about an assignment that is due tonight. The assignment was locked double checked calender and due date I was correct due tonight did he change the time it was due without telling me? I am now in sheer panic although this assignment is worth very little of my overall grade I am an A student and have not missed an assignment yet. So I E-mail my teacher right away I mean I am sure he sits by the computer enjoying his morning coffee waiting for his students to e-mail him right? Wrong refresh my screen every 5 minutes until I must leave for work no answer. Get to work pull up my class web site still no answer. I am in sheer panic at the thought of a big fat 0 now and where is my professor. (probably teaching a live in person class but come on I need him) Well a little after lunch finally he responds to many panic stricken students who have the same issue and it is fixed. Whew I thought I was going to have to chain myself to his office door. The hardest thing with my online classes is the not knowing the professor in person and their schedule and personality ect.
The only good thing was that I was able to get in touch with my group finally for this class I have a group paper worth a good portion of my grade coming up and it appeared no one else was concerned about it besides me. Then finally today two of the five other members get in touch. Problem now they feel since the teacher has commented on a couple of their posts in our class discussions that they are VIP's and I should be honored to work with them. So will see how this goes. In the past I have dreaded working in groups or "teams" but they have always turned out to be great experiences in the end. So we will see if it goes the same way with students I have never met in person.
Well as long as no one throws a wammy at me. I think I will make it through this week and in to my spring break cushion so I can get caught up (I hope). Oh and hopefully I can get out of work early today and sneak over to the DMV undetected to renew my 2 day expired license plates before officer friendly decides to let me know they expired.
