summer breeze

I was able to go to my last doctors appointment today for my left ankle.  I am officially cleared and do not have to go back to physical therapy and go about my normal life.  It's still painful once in a while, but nothing like it was.  I do have some healing that needs to be done, but for the most part I am okay.  Thank goodness!  

I started an online class for a graduat program.  It's been one hell of a nightmare it feels like.  I do not understand why it has to be like this.  The instructor is beyond frustrating and I had to report them to the student counselor today.  I wrote an article summary and passed it in a couple days early.  They suggest doing that anyway because you can get feedback on it, make corrections and so forth.  They send it back to me with the feedback and what I need to do.  I go ahead and change everything and add a few more things to it.  The instructor told me to message him through the database where we do all the discussion posts when I was ready to submit it.  I sent 3 messages to him and no response.  I stayedn up extra late yesterday hoping they would reopen the dropbox for me like they said they would do if I messaged him...NOTHING!  Absolutely nothing.  I waited all day/night pretty much.  I kept checking throughout the day.  He posted some things this morning and never replied to any of my messages.  This is day 2 of barely any sleep for me so my patience is THIN.  I ended up emailing the student counselor that is working with me during this program.  She is a sweet lady and was very responsive to my email.  She told me to message her by 11am AZ time and give her an update of what is going on.  I checked my phone around that time and still no messages or any sort of acknolegement by the instructor.  She said I should hear back from her in 24-48 hours with some sort of resolution and she was sending this matter to people who deal with this type of situation.  It's been so frustrating with other things about the instrucgtor and the course as well.  I'm normally not one to complain about this type of stuff.  I'm not a bad student!  I get all my stuff done when I need to.  The reason why I emailed her was for 1. no communication about anything and 2. now the due date has passed and I do not want a bad grade! 

Other than dealing with that, I've been doing okay.  Summer has been extremely hot for the past few days, but I can't complain because it's been raining so much this past spring in Maine. It finally cooled off and it was a perfect summer day today.  I spent some time inside, but I also had a lazy day.  It's been non-stop it feels like.  Konner is gone for the week visiting his dad in Nevada so that's a little bit of change for me.  I'm taking the break and enjoying some ME time though.  We all need that once in a while. He'll start traveling back Sunday and I'm sure I'll see him in the middle of the week.  I don't want him to rush over because I know he'll be tired from vacation and probably just needing a day or two to relax.  I do miss him though!  

Until next time...
