Thank Goodness!

Hooray this dern Speech class is OVER! I managed a A and I have no clue how. I'm not complaining though!

Powerpoints

Okay, these powerpoints are really confusing me. I know how to create powerpoints, but I don't know what Mr. Fox wants in these powerpoints. I've emailed him about it and am patiently awaiting his response. I don't think there is enough information to go by on the specifications of the assignment. I sure hope he comes through since we have one due tonight.

Saturday...

Well, I am stuck inside trying to complete my homework on this beautiful, windy Saturday. Yes, I'll admit to procrastination; being as the assignments in this class are due today. However, I'm a single mom, with a full time job taking 3 internet classes this semester. Yes, I understand that people do this all the time, but it doesn't make it any easier. So, kudos to all the hard working singles moms in college! I'm still mulling over getting my discussion comment into that blasted little discussion box that has yet to show itself. I have gotten a few emails back; however, none of them have helped me. I guess I'm the only one that can't seem to find a link to the discussion box. Or, find the discussion in the discussion area on our WebCT. I have looked through every bloody link on the learning modules and still can't find it. So I think I am going to post my own discussion topic. I have no clue what else to do. And, can anyone please tell me what urinal ettiquete has to do with speech? Now, can someone please hand me a pillow so I can scream into it. I think after this class is over I'm going to need a straight jacket and a round padded room.

Assignment....

Cross-gender presentations. Where the heck are they? How can I watch them if I can't find them. I've yet to do an assignment besides this blog crap. And then I haven't even really kept up with this. I'm so frustrated with the class I want to scream......

Today....

Well, you could probably cut through the tension in my office with a knife today. Considering the outcome of the election. It's pretty crazy. I just don't understand why some people can't agree to disagree on some matters. So what if you don't like the outcome, you are going to have to deal with it. Why can't more people have more of an open mind? Why does there have to be so many labels? Why can't people express who they are without having to defend it? And yes, I believe in world peace and everyone should have a puppy! Okay, just some of my thoughts.

Assignments....

More on the Presidential Debate assignment. I really don't think one should be forced to express their political views or opinions if they do not wish to do so. Politics, like religion is a personal choice. If a person chooses to keep their view to themselves then that is their choice. Whether it is an assignment or not. I chose this, so therefore I chose a bad grade. This might not be the best choice in general, but for my personal beliefs, this choice, good or bad, outweighed the consequences.

Bummed...

I think this assignment on the Presidential Debate is absurd. How can one pull that much information out of that debate? And I didn't know I was going to have to do government in speech class. I'm so aggravated with this whole thing. I didn't even do this assignment. I'm so going to fail not unless they let me drop the class, but I don't think that's possible at this point. I guess I will be calling the college tomorrow. :( I really regret taking this class.

Debate, hmmm...

Well this debate assignment is so tedious! I haven't started yet, I've been so busy. I plan on doing it first thing when I get home from work today. Good thing I have TIVO and I was able to record the debate. I have no clue how I'm going to pull that much information from the debate. I still need to do my powerpoint as well. I am so far behind. At least I did all my tests, but that won't do me very good if I can't get my assignments together. Thank goodness Mr. Fox extended the date for the powerpoint. I just can't seem to get myself together this semester. :(

Wow

I can honestly say I really haven't done that much for this class as I should. I am so far behind it's scarey. I usually make A's in all my classes and I have a high GPA, now, I'm probably not even going to pass this class. I am now completely regreting taking an online speech class. I have 4 tests to do by the 15th. Completely my fault. But I still don't know what all I'm supposed to be doing. I am in a boat that is sinking and I can't find a dingy!

I'm still completely comfused about this whole course. There is so many different components that I was not expecting. I don't understand how one can keep up a journal just talking about the course. I read the text book, but that doesn't necesarily mean I have questions about it. How do I come up with questions I don't have. Besides the fact that I don't understand what I'm doing. And then I read about a personal journal. When do we start that? I really don't do personal. I pretty much keep my personal matters to myself and myself only. I have a feeling I am going to do very badly in this class. And that really upsets me.

Oy Vey!

Well, I'm officially completely confused by this entire course. I've never taken an online course that has been so hard to understand. And these powerpoints??? I don't get what it is supposed to be composed of. The first one is supposed to be about questions regarding the course. What if you don't have questions regarding the course? They how are you supposed to do a powerpoint? I just don't get it and I'm getting really frustrated.

My First Blog....

So, I'm taking this online Speech class, which I think is super cool because well, it's Speech, and it's online! Self-explanatory. Then of course I find out we have to blog. BLOG! The only blog I keep up with is Perez Hilton. I have to write this thing myself? I'm not exactly the best writer. I've never been the type to write in a journal or diary. So, I guess I really don't have a choice now. I'm going to have to either sink or swim. I don't intend doing poorly in this class, so I guess I need to shape up or ship out! Get it?! Okay, very bad joke. Anyways, I'm going to do my best with this thing, so everyone just bear with me. :)
