e-Learning week

I was actually looking forward to e-learning week, for I much prefer learning from the comfort of my own home than to spend time in a classroom. We were supposed to log onto our Spectrum accounts and open the chatroom of our respective classes.

I went home for e-learning, as a continuation to our mid-semester break. My mother didn't understand the definition of e-learning week, so she was screaming lists after lists of chores for me to complete although I kept reminding her that I have classes.

Spectrum hung and crashed the moment I entered the website, most likely due to website database overload because there are at least 7 faculties carrying out the e-Learning week, and more than hundreds of students are trying to access the website as well.

My lecturers prepared videos for us to learn, as well as different exercises which I found helpful in helping us understand a new topic. Overall, if the website would stop crashing, e-learning week would be a wonderful opportunity for the students to use technology to is fullest.

Dear Abby

Dear Abby,

What do you think is more important? Family, or love? My parents wants me to marry a man named P, but I have no love for him, my eyes are on the man I met during the masquerade party, his name is R. He was so charming and beautiful, nothing like all the other men I have met in my life! Although I don't know him, he kissed me. I thought maybe we could get to know each other and eventually marry, but then I found out he is the son of my father's greatest nemesis. This means we can not be together.

What should I do? Should I run away and marry him or stay and honor my family's wishes?I don't want to spoil my family's name, yet at the same time my heart tells me to go to R. Please advice, Abby.
