Oops, I did it again. Repeated a college mistake.

I got sidetracked from my Coursera studies and now I'm paying the price by burning the midnight oil to make up for lost time. I spent two days of very valuable time doing research on which $400ish laptop to purchase. I made mistakes such as this back in college and paid dearly when it came to coming to quizzes without any proper preparation. 

Thankfully, Coursera courses offer a few "late days" that serve as due date extensions in case the student had an unavoidable schedule conflict. I didn't want to use them so early on in the courses, but it looks like I'll have to burn them if I want to get full credit on my assignments and quizzes.

By the way, the courses I'm currently working on are:
  1. America's Written Constitution 
  2. Surveillance Law
  3. Statistics (not the actual course name)
  4. R Programming <---- fun class so far, but it can be a bit challenging when it comes to understanding everything. I'm trying to force myself to sort of "skim" over material and trust that the hands-on assignments and tutorials will solidify my understanding of basic R programming concepts.
