Life is busy. I worked at WHOI-TV for 27 years, and for most of those years I worked a lot of overtime. A lot. Well if you read the local papers or watched the local news you know 19 WHOI and 25 WEEK have merged. Leaving 19 with one lone employee. I missed my job and regretted losing it, but to be honest was kind of happy to get a chance to sleep and recharge my batteries. So many little, medium and big projects I needed to do.
Any way after almost a year without work, my wife suggested I go back to school. So I signed up. I had no reason not to. Well after I had been going to school 2 weeks I got an offer from WMBD channel 31. I couldn’t say no, could I? I have a mortgage, a wife and three kids, and two dogs (that I now don’t have much time to walk) to take care of.
Between all this homework, writing, and trying to figure out ICC and Blackboard, my mind is spinning. When I ask those younger students around me what’s up, most seem as confused as me. When I understand what the assignment is I get good marks. My problem has been with the computer at school and understanding what is expected of me. Shouldn’t be that hard, but maybe this is normal.
Bob Dylan sang…”Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast.” I’m learnin it these days...
I enjoyed the sound clip! I was wondering why you didn't pick "Jet Plane"?
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lot on your plate, James. I can understand that you feel overwhelmed. Be sure to check in with me during office hours if you have questions about my class. I think your computer skills are increasing. Look at you importing videos to your blog!
