gategrrl And they''rrrrrrrrrrrrrre OUT!
I started my classes this past Monday, the both of them.
I've finished two homeworks for the spelling and proofreading one, and plan on finishing two of the quizzes ahead of time (that's the secret to these compressed courses - just Get It Done!).
The Business Communications course is going to be a PITA: it's ONLINE, and yet, the professor wants specific forms dropped off at her office. You can either go there in person, or snail mail it. The Post Office isn't exactly the smoothest operation in the world, so I'm probably going to have to get the quizzes and exams done a week or two *before* they're due in order to make sure they reach her in time. Wonderful. I had thoughts of dropping the course, but I already bought the book and flung the plastic wrap off of it, so I'm stuck. Why the fuck does she have to have her tests HAND-DELIVERED when it's a FUCKING ONLINE COURSE!??? It makes no sense at all!
My other professor made a comment about that (without mentioning the other prof in the other course) saying making the students on an online course go to the school made no sense to her...and I guess this other prof is why.
I might have to pay the Post Office (or UPS) a bit of cash on top of the price of the books and the courses if I want to get a grade in Communications AKA Grammar.
I also didn't notice that when I signed up for these courses, that the last week of this six week hell-sleigh of English is during the time when my mother is going to visit. Wow. I might have to get what is normally 18 weeks of material done in three. OMG.
