the intensity of it all

January 30, which would be today, marks my entry into a brand new facet of online education-a full, 3 credit hour class condensed from its original 16-week format, into a mere 8-weeks of existance. Although not prepared to fully engage in this craziness, I embarked, 2 weeks ago on the 2 of my classes which retained the original semester timelines. Today, another course now begins and 30 days from from today, a fourth will add itself to my semester's courseload. A month later, the one commencing today will draw to a close, followed 30 days thereafter by the termination of the fourth. A subsequent 2 weeks will ensue bringing me full circle to the culmination of another semester as I arrive at the deadline of the 2 classes I have been a part of for the last 2 weeks. I am hoping that the classes I have been/am/will be participating in will not be nearly as difficult as the task of figuring out my schedule.
