Oh AT & T

I need to schedule two calls with course mentors to discuss the competencies of one of my classes. They need to make sure I'm understanding the subject before I am permitted to try the assessment again.

It would be a lot easier to discuss anything with any course mentor if my cell phone was working for longer than 2 minutes at a time.

Sigh.

Guess I'll work on Networks while I wait.

Well This Term Isn't Going the Way I Expected...

I had such high hopes when August began. Plans, dreams of quickly getting through my classes this term. And then I started an annoying class about information systems. Some of the videos for it are really insulting to IT professionals too, painting them as socially awkward idiots who enjoy speaking over people's heads. Basically, I was not impressed.

But I persevered and got through. I took the pre-assessment and did amazing. I took the final assessment and failed it. The thing was as I was starting the authentication process, my webcam froze. The proctor had me go check and make sure no one was on line. No one was. I took the test but I was really stressed and freaked out wondering if my internet was going to hold or if it was going to drop the connection. That distracted caused me to not pass my test.

After I took the test I found out the Cranky Old Man had gotten online briefly about the time my webcam froze. So, yeah, that was my test experience. I'm going to a test site next time.

Which, after talking to a course mentor, I'm hoping will be in the next couple of weeks.

I'll keep you updated.
