English Comp.

This class is consuming my life.  If you ask my husband I am putting too much time into it. He is probably right.  I feel insecure taking the class on-line. I like the convenience but I am never quite certain I understand the instructions and am doing the work correctly.  I also have no idea how I am doing compared with the rest of the class. So, far my grades are good but I have only received grades on small assignments.  I have three large assignments turned in but no grade so far.  Every one of these alone are larger than all the small grades put together. I keep checking everyday and I know that doesn't change what has already been done but to see the grade would let me know where I stand.  I'm turning into a worry wart. Passing the class is really not my concern. I really want an "A".

My 3-D class is a real roller coaster ride right now.  I presented my most recent project this week and I feel I did well.  My designs were sound and well executed.  I start feeling nervous when I see the work done by "kids" in the class.  They all know so much more about these programs than I do.  The only thing that made me feel better was when the instructor admitted that he didn't know as much as some of the students. He had been asking how the students had done some things and I thought it was so we could learn how.  After class while talking to him I understood that he was asking for himself as well. I started looking at tutorial last night.  Each was 10-15 minutes. It will be a long process trying to learn this stuff.
