Being an Online Student

This is my second "year" at Kaplan. Being an online student has been wonderful so far. I was a bit apprehensive of online classes at first, but due to some really great professors, I have really done well for myself. I am a very independent person when it comes to homework and research, so this was right up my alley. I have had a few bumps in the road along the way, but that hasn't stopped my drive to do well in school. So far I've had straight A's and been in the honor's program, but I feel so behind this term because of a mistake my academic advisor made, I don't know if straight A's will be possible. Regardless of the outcome, I will do the best I can. The hardest part thus far has been finding time to do homework and working around my job schedule. Since my hours are never the same, it can be a bit trifling to manage my time. I really like how the students come together and help eachother out. We may not physically get to see eachother but its nice to know that if I have a question or need some help, I can rely on my fellow students for support.

I suppose we're to keep up with writing a blog. I'll start out by saying I've been blocked from my classes for a week, and I didn't find out until TODAY that I had 2 classes scheduled which was the reason for the block. Now that things are finally fixed, I can say that I am glad to be back in school and hope to get to know my classmates and am looking forward to having a good time in class. I really look forward to this class and hope to retain what I learn so that I am able to apply that knowledge to future uses.
