Thursdays were supposed to be my rest day… but sadly, I have this “E-Learning” thing that I have to attend. This is a special class where in I have to sit in front of computer, watch videos and read modules for maximum of four hours about a certain lesson. This is 5% of our lecture grade for NCM 103-B which is our major subject for this semester.

This E-learning thing started when I was in level III. I finished all the modules during the first semester of my third level but when I learned that it didn’t affect my grade, I become lazy attending this class and that is why during my second semester on my third level, I wasn’t able to finish it.

Dianne, Mag-eelearning ka ba? Wag na! Nakakatamad ehh… di naman nakakaappekto sa grade yann…
Dianne, what time e-learning natin?
Di ako magee-learning gagawa ako ng homework at mag-aaral…
Di ako magee-learning, uwi ako ng probinsya ehh…
Di ako magee-learning, matutulog lang ako buong araw…

Those were the phrases you would often hear during Wednesdays…

They say that E-learning is our training for our NCLEX examination if we want to go abroad. True enough, it really does. In some ways, it helped me understand my lessons with the videos and notes it gives. I don’t know how much it cost but surely, it isn’t cheap and this is one of the reasons why I have high tuition fee. They also say that this E-learning thing is exclusive for FEU only, no CDs are available and it is not available on the internet. This is a program from other country and that is why we should be lucky for having this opportunity but are we?

I am sure that my fellow batch mates have the same feelings as mine. I mean, we are given a rest day but we can’t have it. Given the fact that we are so bombarded with school works and overflowing toxicity with just about everything, we really need some time for ourselves. I see the importance of this e-learning and I know that it is for our own good but I believe it’s not healthy anymore.

I am guilty of having not to attend at this e-learning class because I have “more” important things to do like group works and for my community immersion. At times, I arrive late because I have to catch up with my sleep and usually e-learning schedule is as early as 7:00 AM.

I am having a hard time doing my e-learning because mistakes in the exercises given could mean a 5-minute penalty. You have to wait for 5 minutes before you can continue your module. It’s a lot of time especially if you are cramming to finish the module. Videos ran for 1 hour or more before you can move on to the next, imagine the time… now you see why there are a lot of US who take for granted this class…

As what I have said, I know the importance of it but the importance of it is for the future… how about the NOW? I have sooooo friggin’ big and bulging eye bags… I need some rest and I need to fulfill more important things that comprises the NOW which I am talking about.

Tomorrow, I will attend my e-learning class but definitely, I will be late again. See how “Pasaway” I am? I just prioritize the NOW things and things, which have higher weight if I don’t fulfill it. Am I not doing the right thing?

I am just against this. I am sorry I have to blog about it… LOL!
