> I did a group project last semester with 3 other students. We had an awesome group and got an A on our project. They had all done group projects in the recent past and said that our group worked better than most.
That's terrific. Did you choose the people in your group? Or where you just assigned randomly?
> I think we made a good effort to let everyone be heard and to let everyone have some say in the direction we took the project. And I made a friend in the group. She and I will edit each other's papers as we go along - we both edit the same way.
That's great. I haven't found group work very productive myself.

> I hope you enjoy your time in the library. I find that my house is pretty distracting (particularly the part where there is food in the next room!).I actually did my studying in the computer lab and cafeteria. I tend to tune out background noise and commotion when I'm concentrating. I was actually very productive today. I studied for 5 hours. I'm going to try for more before I sleep.
> I'm going to have to figure out how to stay focused since my program is online! But I do have a number of libraries that I can go to if I start getting too fat.
It must take a lot of discipline to complete at home courses. I don't think I'd be able to do it.

> Often I dream about taking classes - but usually my dreams are at the end of the semester and I haven't been to class, don't even know what room it's in etc. Last night I dreamed that it was the BEGINNING of the semester. I still didn't know where the room was (and it was far enough away that I was going to be late for the first day), but at least I wasn't behind in the classwork! That seemed like progress to me.I dream a lot about school and classes usually before the start of a new semester after summer. It might have something to do with anxiety.
Keep up the good work! :-)
