Say What I Think

My cellphone is well over 80 above my 600 minutes of talk time. Ouch, the fav Five from T-mobile is starting to look nice. Seriously I am thinking about increasing my minutes to 1000 a month, I am sure I might need it with college, and learning team or doing the fav 5 problem with that is well you know how do I pick who to love or who to use my minutes. I wonder if I can change that each month to the people I am in class with and my academic or enrollment counselor. Might do good to call my cellphone provider and get their idea of what would help me.
I will say I am very impressed with my enrollment counselor wanting to make sure I have no problems. I am not sure if this should drive me nuts, or if I should be grateful. I am going back to the University of Phoenix in their FlexNet program. I will say I was glad she was their for the applying process that was harder on line, last time I applied I believe it was with someone else and some of it was by paper. I can’t remember that was a while ago. This time it was all online, and I had to do a name change. Speaking of that I have to figure out how to get my printer to scan documents for my academic counselor she asked me if I could send something to her, but LOL I can’t get my printer to cooperate with me yet. To bad the printer isn’t as helpful as my enrollment counselor.
This morning she called me to help me go through the financial aid process. Okay, I will admit this I didn’t need her their because when I had questions it was pretty much up to me anyways. She couldn’t tell me what to do, but was able to explain it to me. I am all done with all the paperwork I have to fill out. I will have my enrollment counselor for my first 2 classes back.
Lets see I found out their flexnet classes are no longer downloaded through explore which I prefer but that’s okay I can handle dealing with web based. Not a big deal, I just hope that if I am on another computer I can tell what I have already read or done. That could get frustrating part of what I liked about explorer is that when I did something it showed up done. Grant it I was only able to use it with one computer, and had to remember what I had already done, kind of like
moving companies they have to know what they already done sometimes or they could be looking along time for what they want.
The nice thing is the 2 books I need for my first class and all the other classes I have papers in I already have them. So I get to save some money and I won’t have to worry about finding money right now. I just spent a bunch on my ankle. That’s another post.
Yesterday I spoke with my academic adviser and found out what my next 2 classes were. I am taking accounting first, this aught to be interesting, I have noticed one of the books I read before. I think I will not have any trouble getting the material down, didn’t last time.
One thing I do not care for much at the UOP is their rule of almost every class must have a learning team. Don’t get me wrong learning teams can be great, and it will make you learn how to learn with other people and gives experience in how to deal with different personalities. In every learning team it seems theres always one or two who are truly lazy, one who is a leader, and one who will just do anything they can to help the team. I have been both the leader and the I will do anything I can to help. In my last few learning teams I had some issues with the team. My last one, I will just put it this way if it wasn’t for the other girl on the team, I probably would have convinced the professor to let me be my own learning team because hey I was pretty much doing it all anyways. It helped having the other person to take up the other half of the slack, we had. I don’t like learning teams just for that one reason, is sometimes people figure out who are the more intelligent ones, or the harder working one and will not do what they aught to do. I am keeping my fingers crossed I do not have classes with any of those team mates now, more unlikely they are going to finally graduated, or dropped out or well the next option is ugly.
So far everyone I have met and worked with at the UOP have been a great help and very encouraging. I have yet to meet a professor or adviser with an unkind word. Now I am not saying I haven’t met a professor I don’t like. I have one on the top of my list of don’t like him but he’s a good professor. I just don’t like him because I had him in a class, he got to know me, and the next class I had with him he told me he expected a lot out of me. I guess I don’t like professor expecting a lot out of me because I already have a goal of getting nothing lower then a C, but honestly I am aiming for a “A”. I also don’t like it because other students assume your intelligent or teacher pet but not so much a problem in college.
