School, homework, school, homework, work, school, homework, school, work.... That is pretty much my life ! No time for socializing... Oh and I forget, between school, homework aand work, I have to pack up my stuffs because I am moving out at the end of April, PLUS I have to do my luggage because I have a plane to take on April 28th! How am I surviving you ask!?! I have no freaking idea. I'm about to crack out! I can tell you that the days, I am counting them , but not too much because, yes I am excited about leaving it all, but there are lots of things to do for school.

Forum usage
Since I've started my computer course, I've learned many things about computer. Now I have a blog, even a web site (WHAT!?!) , yes a web site, and I am even interacting on a forum. Before that, I would have never thought that I would be doing those things one day. For me, blogs and forum was only a waste of time for people with no life. But, as I have to work on that for my course, I am getting pretty excited about my new blog and the forum.
Even though I don't really have something to say, It's fun just to "blog" about whatever, even the weather if you want!
As for the forum, a couple of years ago, one of my friend tried to introduce me to forums. We were two real fan of a British band unknown in America, and she was writting on forums about them (as it was pretty much the only way to keep in touch with news). She even tried to have me write "fan fics" (fan fiction stories) so I can post them on the forum. I started by reading a few "fan fics" on the forum, but it didn't take me long to get tired of it. I wasn't made for "foruming".
But since I am back in the forum motion, believe it or not, I'm enjoying it. I think it might be the fact that the subjects closely concern us and that I have feeds to add to topics. What I like is that the topics or not ONLY related to the course, so I can ask poeple for tips about what I will do during my summer vacation in West and help other people :)
Finally, computers are not only for losers :) Or if they are, well, I'm a loser (haha)

Computer Class Management
As a future teacher, I have a few worries about how to deal with some problems related to computer class. In a computer class, as each student has his computer, it is hard to control which site they surf on.
What should I do with students being caught on porn site? And HOW talk about it... What is the best way of approaching a student being caught on a porn web site?! On one hand, you want to intervene to this student but in another hand, you do not want to embarass this student in front of his peers. It sure is an important subject to talk about in class, but how to introduce it? Should we talk about it in class, in a subtle way or wait until the end of the class, and see personally the student?!
It's hard to think about a good way of approaching students as I haven't been in such situation.
Another worry I have is the plagiarism. I know how to find out if a student has cheated, but once again it's the "how to tell the student" and what to do with it. Do you give him a second chance of redoing his work or it's a final zero, and too bad for you?!?
I have so many worries about how to deal with taboo subjects. I guess the best way would be to discuss about it in class, in a way where you are not accusing the at fault student, but still... And I think it would be appropriate to get in touch with the parents and tell them the situation.
I still think that it's with the present moment situation that I will know what to do, but until then , I still have those worries.
