I loved my online classes. I just let them talking me into making a HUGE mistake. Don't ever try taking a full course load of accelerated classes online & think you can take care of 4 kids who were home all summer, a hubby & a house. It just doesn't work. That's why I'm not in school now. I fell way behind. Failed the online courses & lost my financial aid. Now we are trying to figure out how to get me back in school. I guess chalk it up to lesson learned.

Well, this class isn't really an online course. We meet twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) for a little more than an hour. The only difference between ITV and a regular class is that you are watching your professor live on television. You can ask questions, join discussions, and particpate fully...if you want. Also, the professor has a screen that is split into four sections so he can see his different classrooms. Brendon and I sit in a back corner and luckily we are not in the camera's view so we can do pretty much anything (including sleep) if we wanted to. BTW, we don't sleep. lol

I tried an online course at the beginning of this semester, but I dropped it because there was a ridiculous amount of work for a lower level class and I'm taking too many upper level classes that I needed to focus on. I may try again later, but I didn't really like how it worked for that course.

LOL If I would have done that I'd be working as a social worker or RN now. I've been taking classes for both. Not really sure which I want to do but I thought having backgrounds with both would be great for either job. Just remember its NEVER too late for an education & its a wonderful example for younger people who look up to you (children, nieces, nephews, cousins ect) & it will always help improve your self image & you life.
I learned this the hard way. I was standing on campus between classes talking with some classmates. I told them (mostly people right out of highschool) that maybe I'm just "too old" to be going to college now. (I'm 29) I turned around to see a lady who must have been in her late 70's looking at me. She told me that I'm am not too old & that an education is priceless no matter what age you are. Just remember those words & hold your head high as you walk through the campus.
