First day of class...
... and I'm already behind. *headdesk*
See, for my Communities of Practice class, we're doing a lot of stuff on a social networking site, so the professor sent out the link for us to sign up for that on Monday. I registered, but it won't let me get past the sign in page. When I enter my username and password, it just clears the form, like I mistyped the password or something, which I didn't and it doesn't give me any error messages at all so I have no clue what's going on. I did everything I could think of, including clearing my cookies, manually adding the site to my "accept cookies from" list, switching from the wireless connection to the landline, and renewing my IP address. My antivirus is up-to-date and just did a full scan on Monday, and I updated and ran my anti-adware program. But nothing works. And the bloody thing won't give me any error messages. I sent an email to the support team and haven't heard back. We were supposed to read a couple articles for class today if we had time, which I couldn't do because they were posted on the site. So I stopped in a computer lab on my way to class this afternoon to check if I'd got a reply from the support team yet (still no) and then try logging in again to see if it had magically fixed itself. And- it worked! I didn't have time to do anything, though, as I had to dash off to the actual class. So I tried logging in again as soon as I got home and the bloody thing still doesn't work. ARGH. And lab computer has the exact same version of Firefox as I have. Apparently it just hates my computer. I am utterly baffled, supremely annoyed, and altogether very GRRR. I've sent another email to the support team to add that it only hates my computer and an email to the professor to obtain next week's readings via attachment.
On the bright side, the class seems awesome and I only slipped on the treacherous seas of ice once today (without serious bodily harm, even).
But dude, I was already panicking about term papers last weekend (before classes even started), and I'm also starting to panic about graduation (in December, if all goes to plan), and now this course site hates me, so apparently this is just going to be a super-fun semester. *kicks things*
*sulks*
