Right now I'm taking online courses. It seemed (note the word "seemed") like it would be so easy, but it takes a looot of dedication and committment. I have assignments due 5-6 days a week (1/2 of them group projects or research projects) so I'm constantly checking my school website to make sure I'm on track. I fell into a rhythm though and it's not as hard anymore. Usually I go to work, drive home, school work for an hour, hit the gym, school work again for 1-2 hours. Saturday mornings are reserved for school too; I usually wake up at like 7 and work on school stuff til 1 or 2 or so. It's def worth it though - and the classes go by so quick :) |
gotcha. :) that is a lot of work but good on you for doing it! i could barely handle a part-time school schedule on top of working full time and doing freelance at home.
i bet having online classes makes it way easier and saves you some time, but i don't think i could ever do it. i enjoy being in a classroom and getting a break from the computer. |

I took German in HS for 2.5 years. I passed it with flying colors. |

I've had so many classes straight up jack me. It's good though. After a year or so you get used to failure, but not used to just failure. You get used to standing back up every time you fail and throwing yourself straight into the wall even though you know it is going to break you at least one more time. I wouldn't have it any other way as it helped with my general severity.
Hint: Don't take classes without having all of the prerequisite mathematics courses. |

I couldn't do part time schooling at a campus because of my work schedule, so I had to opt for the online schooling. I only have a little over a year left (thank God) and I'll have finally finished the degree :)
The thing that's nice about it is that the courses are 5 weeks. So you throw yourself into the class, and then before you know it, it's over. So that's really comforting when you have a hellacious teacher (which I had two classes ago) who demands that you turn in a 2400 word research paper on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday that you're like WTF how can I possibly do this?!?!? but then you do it, and it's over - and it didn't take 4 months to get out of there like at a regular class.
I prefer doing it in the classroom too, but UCF is known as "you can't finish" because of how hard scheduling is... when they said it would take me 4.5 years to finish 1.5 years of school I was like FUUUUUUUCK that! |

| well for me, having 4 papers due a week when I commute an hour to work and back and work 50 hours... that is not easy. Laugh if you wish, but I barely had time to sleep those five weeks - let alone eat. |

| Myself and my colleagues could crap out a ten page paper on that would make your eyes bleed in maybe 2 hours. |
