Gas Saving Online!!

Gee, online gas saving features? A new way of saving time and gas! I had an assignment due Friday by 12:00 noon for my History class. I also had plans of going shopping and enjoying my three days off. But as usually, I get one of those calls that throws a morning off and causes you to walk backwards. My daughter calls and tells me she has lost her car keys in town.
I live out in the country and we had plans to go either to Lawton or the City for shopping with friends. So here in the back of my mind I have this dilemma, getting my assignment done, getting to Chickasha in time to send it from my thumb drive to a P.C., then on to Turnitin.com. Also, the problem of helping my daughter find her keys so she will be ready for the days trip with friends too.
So, I get busy working on my assignment, while my daughter tries to help herself.
I complete my work on my Mac computer in Pages. With the help and knowledge of another student, she shares with me on how to store it in a word document format. Next I am thinking of my time schedule of how to get to the University and down load from my thumb drive to a P.C. Then it hits me! Can I send it from my Mac to the Web site turnitin.com? Shazam!!! It worked I even got a receipt in my e-mail that my work was received! What a nice burden and relief lifted! It saved me time and gas!!
Well this got me thinking about online classes. What a time saving and gas saving convenience it could be taking classes online, along with the fact of on your own time schedule and at home!!
And of course, my daughter found her keys and we weren't driving back and forth trying to make our day happen!
