Crazy week already
This week has been so crazy. Both good and bad. Let’s start with the bad. Well I wanted to sign up for an online summer course for this summer. I heard marketing was a great & easy course to do in the summer. 3 of the guys in the class signed up for it already. So when I was in the Registrars office they said that it’s already full. :irked: Apparently, I had to go to the office and ask (nicely) to let me in. I find it so ridiculous to have a class online and have it full. Hello?! It’s an online course how can it be full? It’s not like I’m physically sitting in a classroom. I’m going to be in my home desktop doing the work. Totally boggles my mind how my school works. Sometimes it’s crap sometimes it’s pretty good. So the girl said ‘No sorry. If its full we cant do anything about it’. She said that they dont want more people in that course maybe because the professor thats teaching it only wants to mark a certain number of assignments. Are teachers becoming that lazy now?! So that totally ruined my week. I was so desperate to get into that class. I highly doubt that someone is going to drop it since it’s an online course plus I heard it’s super easy. So I went home felling all upset then I just decided to sign up for accounting instead of marketing. It’s an online course too. Only bad thing about it is that it’s more expensive than marketing. I dont get why that is but instead of $494 it’s $539… :x I really didnt have a choice but to take it. So I signed up the next day and got in. It only had 7 spots left. I was very lucky. Now I gotta get that money to pay for it. So that’s my summer plans. Going to work full time, doing an online summer course and also doing a part-time job. I really hope I can do all 3 this summer. I never really go to summer vacations like some people. I’d rather work and earn my money for school. The bank has informed me that they plan on freezing my line of credit since they think I’m finished school. Clearly, I’m not done. I really dont want to have to use that line of credit anywhere since I dont want to be in debt…
Now for the good part, I did well on my multimedia test. I got 86% which is an improvement from my last midterm mark which is 56%. So yay me!

Funny how an online course can be full? That’s baffling. Congrats on getting a pretty decent grade for your multimedia test

I had trouble getting into an online course as well (and thought it was stupid) but I spoke to the teacher personally and he decided he would let me into the class and I am taking that class right now. I think the main reason at least for some teachers is they have to make up different work for the online students sometimes, and also some teachers like mine go through making voice comments which take up quite a bit of time since he does it for every student.
Good luck with the other course and the jobs.

I’ve never heard of an online course being full…I mean, it’s online, LOL, how can it be that difficult to add another student? The teacher really must be lazy then, but at least you’ve gotten to take a course.

I’m 12 years old so maybe that’s why you thought I was looked young :?
And what do you mean I gave you a low rating on despair?
I don’t remember rating anything. :freak:

Sorry to hear that you didn’t get into the course you wanted to be in. But perhaps you’re lucky and someone drops off? You never know.
Sounds like you’ll have a very busy summer. I hope that you’ll have time for at least some fun and relaxing.

That’s a bit weird that the class was already full, especially when it’s an online course. Goodluck with the other course though!

Wow, I didn’t know that online classes could fill up, either. Hm. I was considering taking Running Start online classes over the summer… but it sounds sorta iffy now. But congrats on your midterm score, way to go!

Marketing is a fascinating thing. Unfortunately it’s not for everyone. If you have the strength and skills for that, I definitely applaud you!! ^_^

LOL online class being full? HAHAHA, that’s ridiculous. Yeah I guess some teachers don’t want to have a lot of students so they won’t have to go through a lot of stuff to do too. I could understand it if the class meets at least once a week. I had an online class before but we meet every Friday for… basically turning in stuff that we couldn’t do online. Oh well. Have fun in marketing. And you seem like you really wanna do both: work and school… so I think you’ll be fine. Just put your mind to it!
And good job on your multimedia test!

Though you learn online, but somehow the teachers have to grade everyone manually? If that’s the case, maybe it’d explain why there’s a limit of students they accept in a course… I don’t know, just a guess. But if they automate everything including grading, then yeah, that doesn’t make sense.
I hope you can manage the three jobs well over the summer. Take care.

Sounds like you have a busy summer. Good luck with it!
If I were you I would be going down to the bank and giving them proof that you are still going to school.

That is so ridiculous that an online class can be full. I do somewhat understand though considering the teacher does have to grade every student. I’m currently doing my classes online; It’s so much more convenient that way.
In regards to your question about majormags.com, yes I designed it myself. It was a pain but everything was created by myself.
