Face to face

Post #118,142 by orion 9/18/03 5:05:01 PM Reply	Face to face I tend to upset people without really trying. Just look at the examples here without the face to face environment. Then again if I am ever going to get better I need experience and I need to try better. If I could afford it, I could go to UMSL, a State College I can access from a local road or the Metrolink Train. Problem is I have a rather pathetic luck and bad things happen to me a lot. Illnesses, accidents, general nucance stuff, etc. Today my son got sick in school, had to pick him up early. If I go to a campus I'll have to carry a cell phone and skip out on classes if my son gets sick. That will be an extra expense for the cell phone, and if I miss something important in class I'm screwed. With an Online Course, I can just get a transcript from the instructor and view the online notes. Maybe even take the classes when I have free-time. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

That will be an extra expense for the cell phone Before there were cell phones what did one do? Get the number of the office and have a message relayed to you. It still works that way. if I miss something important in class I'm screwed. No, just like any other college student, you make contact with the instructor and ask what was covered, or contact a fellow student for their notes. This is not meant to critize you Norm. My wife does the same thing, and so do some of my daughters. Instead of finding out HOW to accomplish the goal, I hear a million reasons why "it won't work". If I offered you a million dollars upon completion of an on-campus college degree, would you be able to find a way to do it? </rant>

Knowing my luck I'd most likely suffer from a stress attack and end up in a hospital from trying too hard and not win the million dollars. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

I often think negative things about something I want to do and it avoids me from doing it. I may not even be capable of attending college, online or in person. Won't know for sure until I've tried. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
