Stressed, anxious and worried are a few words to describe how I am feeling as we get closer and closer to the start of online learning. I am just concerned because of the fact that this is a new chapter in my life and I have to start off with a way of learning that I am not yet use to. Also I have to check my email much more than I use to before since I won’t be able to see my Professors face to face. Even to submit this first assignment was a struggle, but I believe that I will do great no matter the circumstances as long as I stay focused and put all my effort!

Burton,
I, too, would use the word “anxious” if I had to describe myself right now. I know I told the students that they should try not to feel that way, and also that I ought to put on a good face if only for their sake, but yes, I am anxious.
Maybe “anxious” and “stressed” are…normal? Understandable? And hence, we are not alone?
I think that these feelings are also like a river, and some other feelings will follow them. As long as they are not static, I think we are fine.
Thank you so much for writing right away. Look — you figured it out and did great! Now give us a photo?
BTW: I changed the “Category” to INTRO on your post. Now, when you select INTRO, you will see yours appearing with the entire class.
All my best
and
Stay Safe,
-Prof. S.
Hey Burton!
Trust me I feel the same exact way. But we just have to keep the mindset that we are all new to this. It’s going to take time to get everything together but we are all in this together. We just need to believe in one another.
Thank you, Delilah-Gladys. I am with you on that.
Best of luck! We are all learning together and finding new ways to improve!
Hey Burton,
I too feel the same way as well, Im constantly checking emails to see if there are any updates which is good and bad at the same time. And starting the school year online is very weird too, I feel like its not the same as going in person. But hopefully as time passes we all can connect more and learn more about each other
Hi Burton! Just like Delilah mentioned, you’re not the only one who feels that way. We all need to work together as class and provide what is needed from us!
Yes Burton, it is very stressful for students as well as for teachers. Many of us are starting college as freshmen and it’s stressful to transition into a completely new setup. I really hope it works well for all of us.
