Online community in an online classroom

It's great that this online class encouraged community in the students. I think it's so important to interact in order to learn. It's really been nice to read some people's posts about challenges they face in this class, challenges similar to mine. It's very beneficial to know you aren't alone in your obstacles.

Schedules: Realistic for me?

I'll be frank. I don't like schedules. I know they're necessary, and without them the world would be in chaos. What can I say? Maybe I like chaos. (My room is proof of that.) I don't think it's very likely that I would sit down at my computer at the same time every day. For one thing, I share this computer with my parents, and it always varies what time I'll be allowed to use it. For another thing, some days I am busier than others, and it's less likely that I'll be online. I am confident that I can set the necessary time aside to do well in this or any other online class. It just might not always be the same time.
