small college update

edenfallingI turned in my ethnographic interview writeup last night, so that's done! I also made my weekly posts in the Slack discussion channel. Now I'm just waiting for Prof. T to upload the final exam to Blackboard so I can get started on it.
It's an essay exam, and will be "open book, open note, and open internet." Prof. T said he'd post the questions on the evening of May 11, but the folder remains tragically empty.
I'm not actually surprised by this -- he's been slowly falling behind on his own schedule over the semester, and I think that online courses' lack of inherent structure is something he struggles with -- but it's a little annoying since I highly doubt he's going to extend the due date by a compensating day. :/
...
Payment for summer session is due on the 23rd, and classes start on the 30th, so those are things I need to keep in mind. I have to call the financial aid people on Monday to see if I'm eligible for anything or if I should just write a check from the disbursed student loan funds currently sitting in my savings account earning the tiniest percentage of interest.
My summer classes are English 102: Approaches to Literature (requirement) and Childhood Psychology (just seems generally useful). The English course runs 10 weeks, and the psych course runs 8 weeks, so these will be fairly compressed. I'm not expecting anything terribly exciting, but hey, when I want to learn exciting stuff I have the internet and the library. Community college is mostly practice at discipline and a way to prove to other people (*cough* potential employers *cough*) that I have some basic life skills. *wry*
---------------
And now I am going to go slide move-out information packets under tenants' doors. Argh, argh, argh... but it needs to be done, and at least I'm getting paid.
