I completed my first day of my orientation workshop yesterday.  It is definiatly a new learning experience.  I took an online course from my local university, but it mirrored a typical classroom course, i.e. reading the text, going over lecture notes online and then taking of all things an open book multiple choice exam online.  How crazy is that?  Open book, come on, how do I know if I have learned anything by using the book on a test, for that matter, how does the professor?  But going to school online is so different.  You have reading to do and you actually have assignments that you have to complete and post.  It's great.!  Not only that, NO multilple choice tests.  Great for me since I don't test out real well on them.  Instead I will be writing essays about what I have learned and different topics.  I can't wait.  I love to write and I also get to learn the professional writing style that I will be using in my chosen degree.  At the university that I was going to I would not have learned this writing style unless I progressed into a masters program.  Now I will have it from the very beginning.

I am also going back and reading my old text books from my psychology classes.  Trying to refresh my memory before jumping off into them online.  It feels so great to be learning again.

Not only am I excited about school, but I am finally getting my house clean and straight.  For many years I have not cared what my house looks like.  I let my pets overrun it and didn't really care.  Things piled up and clutter is everywhere.  But as of today, I have 2 and a half rooms straigt if not complete clean.  I still have to mop and clear off some of the cluttered surfaces, but it is starting to look like people really live hear and not just animals.....YEA!!
