I despise online classes

4 08 2008

No, really. I’m taking one this summer (Economics) so that I have room in my schedule next year for Physics. The thing is, I’ve been taking an online class each summer since my freshman year. It really stinks because it drains so much of my time! It gets frustrating sometimes, especially when I have so many other things to do during the summer (i.e. volunteering, Chinese lessons, flute practice, summer reading, etc.). Perhaps I’m partly at fault that it takes me so long to finish a class due to my irritating habit of procrastination, but it seems that every year I take a class, I also have something else going on that makes my schedule even tighter.
Behold:
The first year, I went to China for a month, meaning that I had to finish a semester’s worth work of Personal Health assignments in one month. Joy.
The second year…was my fault, since I had just discovered the wonder of Asian dramas on YouTube and did about 75% of my Family Health work in the last two weeks. Super joy!
This year, I’ve been traveling to several places, and that’s put about a month-long chunk in my homework time – which, unfortunately enough, is very reminiscent of my freshman year predicament. I cannot sufficiently describe how effervescently enraptured I feel about this. >.>

On top of all of that, I’m BLOGGING right now instead of doing Unit 9 assignments. Purely because I like to complain. That, and I feel like I’m obligated to make another entry after skipping out on July (totally not intentional, but now you know why!) *sigh* So, in conclusion: my problem superficially lies with the mind-deteriorating tedium of online classes, but is more truly affected by my uncontrollable need to procrastinate. I think I’m a nut job in the making. Thanks for reading.

Peace – since I’m not having any,
