Even before I started I knew that the hardest thing was going to be figuring out the online platform and what each professor wanted. I was not wrong. I started at around 4:30 and didn’t finish until 10:30 at night. There was a lot of guesswork involved and stumbling across various information. Now everything is found and I have access to everything.
There are really three components to online work. One; the professor and expressing what they want is meaningful, two the online platform where the online class is conducted, and third; the outsourced material that is used for the book and the online homework.
Now that I have an understanding and grasp of things I feel that we are well underway. There was a couple of didos cut in the water, but sea trials with work 1, and work 2, are now done. I love my second job making coffee. There are times when I experience rushes but it is nothing like when I worked in the restaurant industry. I actually have downtimes where I can get ready for the next rush and not be pressured constantly.
there is a constant grind to life, leaving me baffled at how fast time is passing and how fast time is going to pass. Today I dive in headfirst and make the best of everything and go on my first mission. Today is Tuesday and I already have assignments due tomorrow, along with bigger projects due later on in the day. I am glad that everything is coming together and starting to take form.
One other hiccup is when teachers don’t properly work with the book store trying to opt-in to your books is hard if not downright impossible. I bought the same book three times across different platforms. I ended up having to call the book store on the east coast and canceling my order.
As for the rest of my team balancing work and school is going to be a challenge. This morning up at 4 am and home later there was a lot of things missed. Chiefly the burner on the stove was left on, and their food was left out. This semester is going to be a journey way up the river.
