aggravated with school
I wonder why I spend tons of money for online classes, and then can't get a tutor to meet with me to help. I tried the online tutoring and I'm just not getting it. One of the great things that made me sign up was the fact that I could get the help when I needed it, anytime..24/7! Now its been a whole week and I still can't get my tutor to call back and schedule some meet time. That puts me a week behind! And its frustrating! grr!

Janet-thanks! Right now I am just having alot of trouble with medical terminology. I feel like I'm cramming it in one side of my brain, as its slipping out the other side. Yanno? I need some sort of system to help me remember the things I need to.

My computer hates me. Typed a bunch of stuff and it logged me offline. lol Ah well...short and sweet...
I am only just starting on prefixes and suffixes, and if I don't figure out how to memorize it, I don't know how I'm gonna do on all the rest of it. Its me-I have almost no short term memory. I keep getting when I call them "Oh you'll catch on." But I don't feel like I will. I can only devote so much time to studying.
Hmmm, maybe I am putting too much pressure on myself.  |

Can you talk to your adviser or some official at the school about the tutor? It seems like they should be more available.
I wish I still had my medical terminology book. It was silly, it would use pictures to help you memorize them but it worked. Gastr = gas truck and the correlating picture was a tanker-truck hauling a huge stomach. You get the idea.
