I never felt more lost in this school than I do now ;A;
Doing this all from home especially is killing me. I just keep pulling my hair and rereading everything I'm given, but I can't grip any of it.
Idk if its my adhd or just that learning from home is this much harder for everyone.

Have you been or are you currently in this spot? How do I do this?

Doesn't help that I have a test from day 1 of class. I very much did read the chapter its about but.. I couldn't tell you a single thing about it. Well, not beyond saying it rattles on about hormones and chakras, but the test so far is not relevant to those parts.

Yesterday's class, also a day 1 for it, I had to essentially re-explain the process of muscle contraction on a molecular level. I spent like 3 hours reading stuff and watching videos on it. I was able to sleep on it and then try again in the morning. I was supposed to doodle something or make flash cards as a means to explain each step.
I can only grip like, 3 steps, but he was estimating about 15 steps. Or something like that. I can't understand it enough so I drew him a brain with an exploding mushroom cloud. :vanora_cry: Too much for day 1, too much for at-home learning.

Tomorrow I start my third class, let's hope it wont be any worse...
but its neurology so it probably will be. I already know that subject is my weakness so far.

@totalanimefan:
it doesn't. I've always had this trouble with learning from home or without the association with a classroom setting.
I'm not particularly an audible learner, but I have to be in that kind of environment to be able to really focus. Even then I sometimes need some caffeine to help me from not getting too distracted. My concentration is so hard to hold onto

@totalanimefan:
I'll probably ask my monday instructor for advice, she's a really creative lady.
The only thing I could think of is repeating the classes, since they all have morning class lectures and I'm in the evening class. I could just not sleep for some repetition hahahahjgfsdfgds

Fun fact, elementary teachers always tried kicking me out of their classes saying I need to be in special ed, cause my adhd would get so bad back then.
I have better control over it now in MOST cases, but not academics :vanora_sweat:

@totalanimefan:
Yeah, I've had her for 3 classes last year, she's really good when it comes to learning styles. She's not so good with computers and online class stuff, so she also seems to be struggling a bit. This week she was saying "trust me if we were in the class room, I'd be making you all act this out. You think its impossible to act out an endocrine system? WELL JUST YOU SEE" lol she's a former actress.

I at least have that awkwardness to look forward to IF the school opens back up in May
I always suck at her roleplay games, but they work

@totalanimefan:
Well the school is currently planning for May 1st, but we'll see what the government allows by then.
I hope so, so I can only suffer online classes for a couple weeks and then pick myself back up when I'm on campus again.
But I wont place my hopes on that just yet :vanora_sweat: viruses are tricky!

@totalanimefan:
Colorado
if there's been an extension, I haven't heard about it yet o:
I wouldn't doubt that possibility though, we're getting a lot of cases here. Particularly in my area too, it seems

@totalanimefan:
Yeah, the last one I heard was saturday they extended it to april 27th or something (I already thought it was pushed to the 30th here)
Hoooooooo boy I'm gonna have fun with this one. Probably the worst subjects of this course for me to be doing online haha
microscopic concepts baffle me xD

@totalanimefan:
Hahaha thanks! I showed my bf one of the subjects that were baffling me last night, and I swear to god I could hear his brain sounding like this

:vanora_xd:

@totalanimefan:
Hahaha good, good :vanora_xd:

yeah online classes suck, at least for me
it works for some people, but i dont like them generally speaking

the teachers send so many words it's like reading a novel of its own just to get through the syllabi and first week instructions
