First Week at School

It's going to take some adjustments for school. I don't have all the programs necessary for some of the classes. Much of the homework will have to be done at school. I no longer have the XP operating system for the class I have a midterm in this week! Yes I said THIS week.

These classes are short but intense. The XP class is 6 times, four hours each time so every time, there is an in-class segment of work and a homework assignment plus light reading. The midterm is this week and the final is next week!!!

I don't anticipate any problem with it. I just have to stay on top of the work. That will mean extra hours at school where I have access to what I need and can get the job done. I have to check out the library here in town and see if they have the programs I need.

Next week I start a MS Word 2007 class. Although I have used various Word programs for years, I have little experience with this version which has some major changes in architecture.

The other class I started this week, Careers in IT, is on hold while the professor is on a trip to Alaska. This is a lucky break for me since it starts us in the going back to school process slowly. Last week it was half days, next it will be two full days, and the following week it is two half days plus two full days, before the full five day experience.

All in all, this is better than I expected. I'm not bored by either classes lectures and find them interesting. The classes go by quickly but who knows, as time wears on, how it will seem?
