I have heard many scary things about EDM310. One of my friends told me it took several times taking it to finally pass. When I told her I was taking it this semester, she laughed and said good luck. I talked to other people about it and they said that once you get the hang of it and figure out how to manage your time, it is not that bad.

My fear about EDM310 is the required 9 hours a week. I am on the dance team, in a sorority, and I'm taking 7 classes this semester, so I don't have very much time to do anything outside of that. When I get free time all I want to do is pass out on my bed, because I'm so exhausted. I really hope that I will have the time to do the work required of me.

This class is a lot different from the classes I have taken in college so far. This is the first time I have ever had to do a blog. I can tell from the first email that we got from Mr. Strange that this is not an easy class and that he is not going to just give me a good grade because I went to class. Some of the teachers I have had are like that. It is going to take a lot of work to get a good grade in this class.

Like I mentioned earlier I don't have a lot of time, so the most difficult thing for me would probably be, staying on track of the work, and having enough time to do the work. One thing I can do to help me stay on track is to print out the checklist and syllabus and carry it with me so that I can look at it and know what needs to be done and when. Also if I am waiting to dance at the basketball game or something and have some extra time I can just pull out the checklist and can do some work. I need to not wait till the last day to do the assignments. I need to do a little bit each day and I think that will help a whole lot.
