Soooo… I waited a while for money to come in from my loan refund. May 7th it finally hit… Awesome!!! Then two weeks later another one hit. Cool! Figured it was just time for the next one since the first one took a bit to arrive. Now, exactly one week later, I get ANOTHER deposit??? I mean, I’m happy, I’ll take it. lol 😂 but it also has me a little nervous and worried… 😅🥴🤦🏼‍♀️ Like is it just all coming back to back and nothing more until like fall? Ooorrrrr… did someone on their side make a boo-boo? 😅 Anyone else had theirs come in back to back like this??

So I believe I just got my award letter today! I was doing my schoolwork and got a pop up "To do" list that pretty much outlined how much everything is costing and gave me a bunch of numbers I barely understand and all I had to do was sign it! Not sure if that means financial aid is coming soon, but I believe things are moving now! I will keep you guys updated!

So, I am in the AI Software Engineering program and started in January. At first, I was excited. And I still am to a point - but the more lessons I take (specifically the coding related ones - the general education classes are fine), the more I feel like it will never "click" in my brain. Like, when will I be able to connect this to the real world and a job I might someday be able to get? I see others posting about projects or other things they are working on, or sharing articles on stuff and there is just no way any of that makes any sense to me yet; might as well be in German. Since this program is all online and all with AI teachers and there is no real word interaction - it's hard to feel like I am actually learning the information, rather than just going through the motions - you know what I mean? Even with the practice sessions - it just feels like I am regurgitating information and not actually learning. I learn way better in a classroom setting - in person - but there is obviously no way I would be able to attend actual classes at a brick and mortar school. It would take me 8 years to get a 2 year degree that way. Given that this is a brand new field for me, I know there is a learning curve that I have to deal with; but at what point will it start to feel "real"? If that makes any sense... 🫤

When I am in a lesson sometimes (more and more) Mae. Gets stuck in thinking. Is this my connection or does this happen to others also? I can click out and go to home I just can't say anything in the lesson until Mae gets back on.
