So, I'm not so sure how I'm liking (or not) the way my instructor is giving this class.
The class is supposed to meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 7:50 - 10:30. Since there are only three people in the class, my instructor only has us meet on Tuesday nights. She is available in the evenings on IM if we have any questions.
Herein lies my frustration. Trying to do school work during the evening in my house if virtually impossible. Last night I went in to the school to do homework. We have computers there to access the instructor through IM. I sent a couple messages to her with questions through the time I was there, and the response was less than satisfactory. If I did get responses, it took a LONG time to get them. I would IM her a question, and if I was lucky she would reply within 45 minutes or so. When she did reply, she didn't really reply with answers to the questions I was asking.
I'm not afraid to state that I'm really struggling with this class. I don't feel bad as from what I've understood from the two other guys they are having some difficulties also. I am frustrated that I can't access the help I need for this class.
OK, I'm done venting. I have a mid-term coming up in the next week or two. I'll see then how I'm doing, maybe it is better than I think? I can hope.Advantages and Disadvantages

I had the laundry room put upstairs when we had the house built. It is wonderful to not have to carry baskets of clothes up and down the stairs! What I didn't realize was that I do laundry during the day, so I'm running up and down the stairs more changing loads than I would have carrying clothing.
Oh well, it is good exercise!
