D#1, HW#8, Course Questions/ Concerns
The main thing I am worried about for this course is learning how to use all of the different online websites we have to use for the course. Such as this Blog and del.icio.us.com etc. I have never used any of them before and fear losing points because I may get confused on how they work. Another concern of mine is time. I am working full time at a restaurant that is short on staff, so I seriously work all the time. I hope I can manage my time to where I have enough time to do both work and school. I also tend to ask a lot of questions and am worried about response time from my peers and instructor. I've never taken an online class before so I think I'm just nervous about that in general. Once I actually get into the hang of it and get used to it I should be fine.

Good concerns!
1. for the technologies, try working ahead of everything on deadlines #2 and #3. After doing the first three deadlines, you'll be pretty comfortable with them. Consider, if you have the time, just "playing" with them a bit as well.
2. If you can, carve out time in your schedule like and treat it as if you were going to a face-to-face class. If someone says, "can you work overtime?" or "want to go to a movie?" say, "I can't, I have class."
I hope these tips help.

It will take some time and commitment from yourself. I am in some what of a similar situation my job. Long hours, short staffed, and outside. My girlfriend has already locked the v-chip on the tv. Stay focused on the work(homework that is) is what I keep saying to myself. Maybe this will help.
I feel the same concerns as you do as I have similar problems with websites. You are not alone about how to manage your time,but be optemistic and always try to stay ahead of homework assignments. So far it looks like you are doing great. Good luck the rest of the way.
I have many of your concerns too. I think the main difficulty will be time management but if your able to push yourself to do your work you will do great in this class.
