More Repetitve Life.

I'm discovering that with online classes there is a very high level of expectation. With actual classes there really isn't a way for professors to make students go to class, other than to assign a lot of homework and quizzes that students can't make up. With online classes this isn't the case. If you don't log on and participate in the discussion forums, you fail the class. It's very simple. However the classes I'm taking this term are a little different in the fact that they have enormously structure requirements for the discussions that require a lot of work. It's slightly intimidating.

I got sent home from work two days this last week. The first day was Thursday. I arrived and the fair was dead. When my boss came out later and asked if anyone would volunteer to go home, I did. I'd had a little bit of a rough morning dealing with health insurance and no one else wanted to go. The other time I got sent home was yesterday. It was so hot (105 degrees) that after only 45 minutes of being there, my cheeks were flushed, I was sweating and showing signs of heat sickness. I'm not sure why I'm prone to it, but it seems that I am.

Other then school and work, I'm really not doing much at all. I miss Oregon so much. I can't wait to get back there.
