Adventure, Excitement, A Jedi Jason Craves Not These Things

Well, the fun of the Honey moon was replaced by the fun of school. Ahh, homework, reports, APA formatting, how I have missed thee.

Yup, I am back in school for my masters. Going to the University of Phoenix online. You know, I had my doubts, but so far it is just as much a pain in the … bum…. (keeping it pg) as brick and mortar school.

And I’m aiming to graduate with honors for once.

So far, it’s Managerial Communication, which seems to be Intro to Online School. It’s kinda funny, I was talking to one of my team members online, and she took her BS at Univ of Phoenix, and she says by our third class(about 12 weeks into the program) half of the people were gone. It’s gonna be interesting to see how it holds up.

In case anyone is wondering how it works, it’s kinda neat. You take one class at a time. Each class lasts 6 weeks. You are required to participate at least 2 times a week to not be considered absent. My current class requires 8 posts a week( 2 a day for 4 days), plus reports and a team project.

Everything is run out of private newsgroups and a online library. I have a portable usb drive with Thunderbird on it, so I take all my classwork with me.

So that’s whats up with me.
