Ok, so I got this bright idea to go back to school. I did my research and found a school that matched the degree I wanted. I decied to go with ITT Tech. They were really great about walking me through the steps to inroll and access the financing I needed. I am truley impressed.

Due to my work schedule and my uncompromising boss, I had to go with the online classes for now. This I thought would be the best. I had no idea. I am finding that taking classes online is not as easy as I had anticipated. Instead, it's a nightmare! I can't raise my hand and say, "Can you go over that again?" I have to depend on myself to get it right. I must say, that is not a good thing! I seem to miss things in translation. Sure I can email the instructor, wait for the reply and go from there. But with my schedule, I can't wait the 24 hours for my question to be answered. If I do, than my project will be put behind another day.

The amount of work involved is crazy. Sometimes I find myself saying, "You have got to be kidding me!" All this is expected in a week? If I didn't have a full time job it wouldn't be so bad. My life consists now of getting up, doing my class work, going to work. Day in and day out. I now spend my days off sitting at this computer trying to get all of my assignments completed and uploaded on time. I no longer have a social life. (Not that I had one before!)

I figure, If I can get through this semester, I can get through anything. This has definately been a learning experience for me. Next semester, I think I am going to actually go to a class. Not sure this online thing is for me.
