I need to comment on this week's assignments because I got wiped out before starting class (and don't want to mention what happened after). The first part of our assignments seemed too much to me for a single class, and since most of them were on line (and my budget didn't allow me to print) I had to read them from my computer. Then the second part involved typing and as a second language learner of English, I need to spend more time than normal when doing these written activities. Ok I was done with that, but I still needed to read my classmates' part of the homework, and comment on D2L. So one more time reading from the computer and typing. Well I thought after commenting I was done, but I realized the class was obviously going to have us use computers. That was when I felt all the load on my shoulders. I bet there was a point when I looked exactly as the person in the picture, and this is happening more frequently than I want it. I wonder what people got tired of before working with computers and internet, paper? books? I have never felt that, of course, I belong to the digital age so I think this is inevitable, plus I'm taking a computer class. Anyway I really think the load was too huge for this week, and I just hope it will not be like this in the future ... meaning toward the end of the semester ... Thanks for reading and helping me get rid of what I was feeling.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Diana. I will certainly monitor workload more closely with regards to class assignments.
Another option to reading off the computer screen is to print 2 to a page so that you spend only half as much printing. We should talk about this in class - strategies for cutting cost. We are saving money because it would cost more to create a course packet.
