Double Whammy!

Folks in Western Washington relish the sunshine when we can get it, and for the past few days it's been simply glorious!  So, when the afternoon speaker for yesterday's class was a no-show we were released early..... woo hoo!  What an absolute treat.... a day off from work, no class AND glorious sunny weather to top it off!

Well, it turned out to be not so woo hoo after all...... later on that day we got an email from the program coordinator with THREE make-up assignments...... must be completed and turned in before next Saturday.

For the most part, we have to read articles on related topics and then answer a series of questions... or do a little investigating on the Internet. Not difficult, but time consuming.  

I wonder what happend to that instructor - better not have played hookie and been outside somewhere enjoying all this glorious sunny weather we've been having!

Adding fuel to the fire, because I had to miss all of last week's class I knew I was going to have make-up work for that.  Sure enough.... a few days ago SEVEN assignments arrived via email which I have to complete by March 1st.   All in all, that makes TEN make-up assignments AND I still have all of this week's homework to do (if that wasn't time consuming enough).  

So...... if you're thinking of taking this course, first and foremost, try at all costs not to miss a class, and as an insurance policy, be sure your calendar is as free of other obligations as you can get it so you have the extra time to get through all the make-up work if/when it happens.

Now I think I'll go and sit outside in the sunshine and crank out a few of these extra assignments......
