At times, I've been known to be the backside of a mule. A prime example of which happened this past Monday, which so happened to be my first day with USC. Yes, I equivacadoed with USC. Without further ado, here's what happened, When I was looking into getting books for each of my three classes, I made sure to jot down the time for each class. A relativily simple job....one would think. I'm proud to announced that I struggled with that task! According to my calculations, my first class started at 6 PM on Monday. I made sure that I wasn't scheduled to coach at that time and I after finishing work that night I rushed home to start my MAT@USC experiences. I logged onto the USC site and try to join my class...but it wasn't there...upon further poking around, I found out that class started at 5...My first thought was fiddlesticks, then I got hungry, but then! Ha, then I started freaking out. I emailed any and everyone who has ever worked at USC. I was assured by a few thousand of them that they had never heard of me, or the MAT@USC program. Finally, someone who currently works for SC called...that's right, called. Though I emailed them I got a call in return...OMG gotta love it. I was told that I was fine and I just had to go to that class 1 time this semester, making sure I do my work.
This brings me to my next point: Self sufficient. Unlike School A, USC assumes I'm intelligent and they expect me to work hard. That means I have to do my readings and come ready to discuss, post forums, and most importantly self manage. Since I go to class in my room, I have to stay on top of my work. There are entire aspects of class that requires me to read through slides...if I want to. Not to say that they're not required for class, just that I can so easily just not go to that website if I don't want to. I want to do well, so I will go to the website and I will give my all, but this is so new.
