I don't think I'll be taking anymore online classes for a while. Not that I have anything against them, it's just, I learn better when I hear a teacher talk. I really pick up valuable things from teachers in person and understand the material better than I can in an online class. I need to have limits in order to do well. Same goes for my self-paced class. I thought I could handle it, but I really need to get over my procrastination habit before I do it again. It's been way too easy for me to slack off, and I feel really bad about it, but it's almost like I can't stop. I can't focus on it long enough, especially lately. I need to be completely alone, somewhere where it's quiet in order to focus. It's like when I went to the library to meet another student from my online math class...I got more done there than I ever would have gotten done by myself, at home. And I also had Barb there to help me if I made a silly mistake and got the wrong answer (It ended up that I made several of them over the amount of time we were there, which was about two hours or so...and I never would have realized what I did wrong unless she was there). It's times like these that make me wonder whether I might do better living on my own. But then again, I wouldn't have my parents pestering me to get my stuff done, which usually gets me to do it in the end. Maybe I just need some inpsiration; some encouragement...
