It should be a requirement that students take at least 1 online class in their college career so they realize just how much of a balancing act it is in regards to their other classes.

The downside of discussion boards for school comes when the instructor says that once we post our answer to the discussion question, to reply to 3 or 4 other people.

AND I CAN'T!

BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE HAS POSTED THEIR ANSWERS FOR ME TO REPLY TO!

It's not fair that I have to wait for other people to get around to answering so that I can complete my assignment...but they can post their response and do the required replies all in one go because they waited until the day of or the day before the assignment was due.

And I get it. They have work for other classes they need to work on. It's just frustrating having to wait and then worry about missing something because I wasn't constantly checking the discussion board for posts to reply to.

The posts are time-stamped so the professor can see who waited until the last minute and who is on top of things with their schoolwork.

First week of Spring 2014 semester finished. Instructor for in person class more toned down than he was last semester. Could be because it's only the 2nd day, but I hope it continues. Did the reading and assignment for my online class. The assignment was due by Saturday at 10 pm. I turned it in today.

Yesterday I put in my application to get medi-cal (insurance like Covered CA but could be free for me since I no longer have income) and food stamps (this is a long shot as my parents get income from SSI and that could mess with it). The lady called me today for a mini interview and said that tomorrow or Saturday I should be getting some follow up paper work that needed to be completed and returned within 10 days. She told me that I could make an appointment to turn in the requested info in person, and I think I will so that I can ask some other questions if I have them.

Hmm I can't think of anything else because of these stupid cramps I have, so I'm ending this and going to watch a movie.

Happy Thursday/Friday everyone!

more about this graduation I was invited to participate in

Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:04:06 GMT

heard back from the school. the e-mail is/was legit.

apparently my username is my name plus my original password.

so I log in for more information and get this message:

You are not yet eligible to register for graduation because you have an outstanding balance. To pay this balance, please contact Victoria Goykhman, Tuition Financing Specialist, at (xxx) xxx-xxxx, extension xxx. Once your balance is paid in full, you will be able to register for graduation. If you feel you have received this message in error, please contact Stephanie Perez at (xxx) xxx-xxxx, extension xxx.

Umm whut? As far as I know, the only "outstanding balance" I have are my student loans. And I don't think I would have been able to graduate, as it were, if I owed anything else. So now I have to call back and see what this mess is all about.

But besides that, there are "Graduation Fees"! $39 for graduation fee, includes cap and gown. and get this! $19 per guest that you would like to invite and I have a limit of 5 people I can invite.

Uhh pass on that! But I'm still going to find out about this "outstanding balance" I supposed owe.

eta: so I don't have an outstanding balance and they've made a note of that so I can register for the ceremony...if I was going to attend that is. I think it's ridiculous that I have to pay and then pay for up to 5 guests too. If this would have happened a few weeks or a month after I finished the program and got my certificate in the mail, I would have probably given it more consideration.

Umm...whut?

So, umm, I graduated from ICDC College online back in November and TODAY, August 15, 2012, I get an e-mail that ICDC College will celebrate the graduation of its 10/15/11 - 10/15/12 Graduates (that means me!) on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.

3 things: a) why did no one tell me there was actually going to be a graduation, b) why didn't they tell me they'd be celebrating groups of graduates and c) 3 months notice? I have to rsvp for more information.

My parents won't be here to go to it. That's 10 days into their month long vacation in FL.

I'm going to think on this before deciding if I want to be apart of the graduation.
