Online Classes

After more than 15 weeks of online classes, I have noticed some distinct differences between having an online class versus an in person class.

*Everything is amplified on the microphone on the online platform, and I mean EVERYTHING.  If you forget to mute yourself and burp (or other expellation of gas), then everybody knows exactly who did it because it shows who's talking/making noise...

*I always get the worst urge to pick my nose in the online class.  Just to see what happens.  I can't say as I've ever had this urge in a real classroom.

*You don't exactly ask to use the bathroom.  You just get up and walk away.  Or if you're me, the phone is in my ear and I can hear everybody still discussing while squatting on the ol' pot.  Only a little disturbing.  I do always make sure I'm muted prior to flushing...

*You get kicked out a lot when the platform isn't very strong or you have a weak signal.  Too bad that doesn't happen in real life.  You get a break!

*You know how they say the camera adds 10 pounds?  Well... don't expect to be your usual gorgeous self.  It really just doesn't matter what you do...

And that's that for the day...
