You Know You're Starting a New Online Class When...

You feel that familiar ache in the back of your neck from staring at your laptop screen at the wrong angle for too long…

You realize that after 8 months of a new computer, you’re only now figuring out where the “word count” option is on Word…

You’re excited the place you’re renting has numerous, mostly-empty 1-subject college-ruled notebooks left behind by prior missionary families so you don’t have to go buy one…

You start scouting out the closest coffee shops for places to escape your dining room table during coursework… (and suddenly remember the insane cost of an apple cider drink at said locations)…

You remember just how much you hate getting a new email address and learning a new online set-up for a different university…

You remember how many more videos you watched during your last online-course semester for much-needed breaks in-between studying. (Tim Hawkins was a favourite last time, and Kids Change Things was created then too…)

Your supply of orange juice and V-8 Fusions decrease at dramatic rates (ok, this might just be me)…

Your collection of instrumental, non-lyrical music is pulled out like an old friend to enhance the study environment after months tucked away…

You start making lists for your blog posts after having not posted anything for two months… ;)
