My online class began in early December and is slated for 8 weeks, so it's half over. I discovered, when I arrived at my parents' house, that the free internet connection that the military program I am involved with provides was unavailable to me, possibly due to password/userID issues. My attempts to contact them were met with much resistance, as the Helpdesk personnel seemed to intentionally misinterpret my requests for assistance.
Additionally, I had some initial trouble installing required software for the course so I contacted the instructor. I didn't do this by email because the syllabus directed the students to utilize the internet forum interface instead. However, my instructor has yet to return my message, nearly a month later. I plan on emailing him, but it begins to sound more and more like excuses as the circumstances pile up.
Time to cram 8 weeks of work into 4 weeks. Again.
Oh, and the Army has finally decided to recoup the tuition for the class I dropped late during the end of 2005. Whee.
