Oh well

So the entire post I put on the course blog was meant to go here, I guess I really am slipping! I was going to delete it and paste it here, but I thought that it was something the rest of the class could talk about.

As I mentioned on that post, I'm looking for a summer job, and the internet is really helping me out a ton. I don't think I would be as sure about my future if I didn't have this technology readily available. With the internet, I can look for jobs at my leisure, whether it's now at 2pm or even at 2am. It gives me access to thousands of job listings in my area. The same could be said for apartments and colleges. Although many people fear that the internet is some huge cybernetic Godzilla-like monster that will take over the world, I am very happy that it is available to me. We are driven by the clock now more than ever and having a device that allows us to break out of that cycle even on occaision is a wonderful tool in my book.

I think that also holds true to this course in general, and perhaps that's why a lot of people have not been contributing as much as they would if it was a "normal" class. Without a set time period in which they sit down and face the professor, they are unsure as to how exactly they should budget their free time in order to complete the assignments. This course was definitely harder than I was expecting on more than one front, with the time factor being one of the biggest challenges. Unfortunately because we do not feel that same pressure here as we do with other classes, the readings and work become pushed back so we can do the work for our other classes, even though this class is as important, if not more important, than the others. This class is extremely modern and helps show us how to adapt to the changing world.

Anyway, I hope I can pull myself together and get through the next month and few days with my normal vigor.
