How do I feel about being an online student?

Being an online student is a great experience. I am currently in my 3rd ten week session at Kaplan and I have nothing but good things to say. I find the ten week sessions are just enough to learn a subject but not become bored with it. I like that I can be as anonymous as I want to be. If I don't want to draw attention to myself I don't have to. The best part about being an online student is the schedule. If I want to do my school work at midnight I can. If I want to do some research while at work, the library is available. The funniest thing is trying to explain to my kids that I am in seminar and that I can't pour them a drink or make them a snack. They just don't understand that even though I am home, I am trying to attend and participate in class. Sometimes I wonder what is going on in other peoples homes. It gets crazy here. Kids screaming, dog barking, phone ringing. I often wonder how the teacher can just keep on teaching with all the interruptions....giggle giggle.

  1. I guess it is a good thing that I do not have sound from all of the houses in seminar. I know what you are talking about with the distractions.
    My children are grown now, but I usually go to my office to conduct seminar because there is always some kind of distraction.
    My kids always wanted my attention every time I got on the phone.
