I'm taking an online class for the first time this semester. So far (week 1 down, 5 more to go) I've been pretty good about keeping up with it. This is significant for me because I'm not much of a self-motivator, as evidenced by the 75 extra pounds I carry around. The only problem I've noticed is in the discussion topics the instructor posts to create a discourse amongst my peers and I. I've developed a tendency to blog.
Everyone else puts short, rather brief opinions about the subject matter and how it affects them. I do research. I spent half an hour googling the effects of Hugo Chavez's policies on the rate of inflation in Venezuela just so I could make a joke that was accurate.
So far, on the two topics he has posted, I've contributed 5 times. Three of them were essentially one post but it was just so long I had to break it up (and accidentally deleted one section and had to recreate it. I hate trying to do that. It never comes out as good as the first time I write it.), which meant coming up with not one, but 3 clever titles to go with each post.
