I'm going back to school

[bob]

I start up again on September 4.

I have 2 classes with that awful teacher I had last semester and decided that if she screws up horribly again I will file a complaint against her - she literally had all summer to double check links to things to make sure they work.

One unexpected benefit of joining the honor society is that I will be changing auto insurance companies due to a discount. If I keep my current level of coverage my bill will literally be cut in half. If I add a lot more coverage I will save $2 over the same time frame.

I'm going into the field for one of my classes. This should be interesting. I'm a little anxious about this. No where on the school website does it indicate if I have to set up somethings for myself or if the school is for me. Either way, I'm reviewing my books from last semester as a refresher - I figured I couldn't hurt.

Best of luck with it. How long do you have left to go now until you are finished?

[bob]

Assuming there are no issues with any classes and everything I need is offered, next May.

I'm rereading my digital math textbook and I had to share this.

Every semester since I made the decision to go back to school I've been ripped off horribly for the 3 ring binders I had to buy: I just bought 4 3-ring binders for $4 a piece for the upcoming semester and these ones were on sale.

if you need some for next semester and you don't mind" vintage" binders, PM me. i'll send you as many as you need just for the shipping price. i just donated all the genealogy stuff that was in them to ancestry. com, since my and my hubby's family's all have copies now.

First day of the new semester was today. Not a good one for me. I kept a textbook from last semester because a teacher said I'd need it for a class I'm currently enrolled in. That is not the case and I bought a book I needed for a class earlier today, hoping I don't need it for something before it arrives. Additionally, the teacher who kept screwing up links last semester did that in both classes I have with her. I've decided I'm already going to file an official complaint at the end of the semester. I really hope I don't have her next semester.

This past week sucked. I literally spent 5 days working on an assignment where I had to find information about/read 14 books. My plan was to catch up on the rest of my stuff yesterday but the online server for the school went down. As a result I literally cannot see what assignments I have to do, I literally cannot submit any finished work or work on anything until it's back up. It's still down. All I could do was pick up 2 books from the library I needed for an assignment, but I can't completely remember what I'm supposed to do with the information I read about from them. I'm f**ked. I'm hoping the teachers will understand if I need extension for things that were due last night through the middle of next week.

[Alex]

Pretty sure they will be understanding given it is something outside your control and surely all the students are going to be similarly affected.

[bob]

My whole class got an extension for the thing that was due Friday night.

It has been a hectic last two weeks with school stuff between an assignment that ate up most of my time last week and BlackBoard being down most of last weekend. I've been playing catchup and putting in a lot of extra time this past week to make up for the 2 days BlackBoard was down, but I'm all caught up.

my internship this semester will be starting soon........should be interesting

[bob]

Today I submitted an application for an academic scholarship. Even if I do not get one, knowing that I finally have a realistic chance to get one and finally filled out one is a major accomplishment for me. In high school my grades were never the best. At Parkside my grades were touch and go for the most part, but I did make the Dean's List my final semester there. Since enrolling at Gateway I've made the Dean's List every semester, including a perfect 4.0 last semester, and joined the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. I'm older, wiser and finally learned how to buckle down. Here's to hoping.

[Alex]

Congratulations and I hope the last stretch goes well. It had been interesting watching your progress here so far.
