Well, this is the end of the first week in my first grad class. I am excited. I really think the value of online classes has been highly underrated, especially for writers. Some writers, myself included, are much better and more comfortable with the written word than with the spoken word. Online classes gives me the opportunity to say what I mean without fear of rejection. At least, I won't be able to see that rejection on the face of my classmates. I may see it in their written response but the distance allows me not to take it personally. Does this make any sense or does it sound like I ma trying to justify my choice of an online MFA to myself?
I still like the face to face interaction of the traditional class room and I am certainly going to miss it, but I can go to school in California without leaving my living room! Besides I believe there are a few professors from my past that I can rely on to help me clarify something face to face if need be.
