School work/Summer school during the Camino...

[ilovelife]

So I'm currently in third year of my university degree. I have registered to do an 'easy' online course beginning May 07 and ending July 25. My Camino will commence late April and end late June. This means that if I choose to keep this course and complete it I will have to use a computer once a week, every week, during my entire Camino. I know almost all albergues have Weefee and that internet access won't be an issue. However, is the speed of internet an issue? This I don't know.

I believe that I can handle the course and do the Camino at the same time. But from other people's perspectives that have completed their Camino's in the past, is this a realistic venture to carry out?

Obviously I would like to dedicate my entire time to strictly enjoying my Camino and not worry about school. The reason I am doing this course is so that my workload come September will be a lot lighter and manageable.

I guess what I am really wondering is if anyone has done something similar like this during their Camino.

Thanks.
Antonio.

Are you going to need a computer to use? Or are you bringing a tablet? I believe finding a computer to use may be difficult, and they are time limited sessions I think. More and more Pilgrims have a device so the need for an albergue to have a computer available for use is decreasing. Often the Wifi is available in the reception area, so it may be noisy too. But, it probably is doable. Good luck!

I was planning on bringing my phone only but now am thinking to bring my tablet in order to do my homework.

I'll be doing something similar, unfortunately. I was offered a wonderful freelance job at the last minute that clashes with my Camino, so I'm just going to have to set some time aside once a week to do that. I'll be bringing my tablet along so that i don't have to rely on computers/wait for line ups/etc but it makes me a bit nervous doing so. I don't think you'll have a problem with it though.
