One (week) down, two (years) to go

Baby steps to a degree.

According to my University of Phoenix counselor's projection, I'll have a bachelor of science in communications on Sept. 7, 2009.

Seems like a long way off. On the other hand, if all the weeks go as quickly as this last one has (I'm already a fifth of the way through my first class), it won't be so long at all.

This online-learning thing is interesting. It's nice to be able to go to school from the comfort of my living room. But although my classmates and I have lively discussions in our "classroom" (which is actually a newsgroup), I miss the physical, face-to-face interaction that comes in a bricks-and-mortar classroom. But I guess I'll get plenty of face-to-face interaction with my kids, who are now out of school, to make up for it.

Well, back to class.

  2. I remember my 5-week classes at UoP - I had a wall "calendar" of each class meeting for the entire 2-years, and when I got home each week I would scratch out that night's class. Seeing the number of scratched-out dates motivated me - big time.

    Good job - don't give up!
