Question,Others
Yes I am feeling bad about myself. I am unemployed from the Pandemic. I decided to back to school and it is a lot harder than i anticipated. I got a scholarship and Im not working so I should be successful, right? But I feel distracted, it is online and there is a lot of writing assignments. I feel like I dont know what they expect.

That sounds like a stressful situation. I have also struggled with staying focused while working from home. Have you tried making a designated study area?

I am running out of money too and it isnt helping me to focus. I thought I could be productive and do something positive during this time. I have a desk in my bedroom. My 3 kids are in college too, LOL. I wish there were some face to face or zoom like participation classes. I dont like independant study.

It sounds like you are trying very hard to change your situation during this crazy year. Is there a way to connect with other students taking the same classes? If not maybe you could initiate a zoom study/discussion group.

Not really. I was wondering that too. We have assignment where we "post" and "respond" to some topic or other. Yeah I think that is a good idea. I like that idea, i think i will ask my kids how to set that up
