THE EnD

Hi, Everyone. This course has came to an end. We are in week ten and we are all that much more closer to graduation. I have learned alot in this course. I have learned how to put together a scientific paper and i have never done that before. I have done regular research papers and essays but not a scientific research paper. I felt like my past experience in writing helped me in this course but i also feel that i have learned alot from participating in class. I learned new ways to put a paper together and how to organize it, edit it, and review it. Sometimes its hard to edit your own paper because you wrote it, so of course you dont see too many problems with it. But when you have specific guidelines to go by for editing a paper you see your own mistakes. This was a good course. Good luck to everyone's future endeavors.

Almost complete

With my Paper completed I feel good. I feel like that is one more thing that I have accomplished. I feel like going through all the different units and learning all the different methods and ways to put a formal essay together made me a better writer. I feel like I have worked hard to be able to write my essay the way I did and I am proud of myself for completing it. Now, I don’t know exactly what grade I will get on it but I believe that I followed all required criteria and did what I was supposed to do when writing my essay.

bloggeriffic

I havn’t really had too many comments in my blog. So I can’t say too much about that. Well, I didn’t post that many comments either. I kind of only posted when it was required. I’m sorry but I just have so many things to do I really only do what is required for the assignment. But after this course is over I don’t plan to write in my blog because I feel like people don’t read them anyway. I kind of post short blogs on facebook already so why have two different sites. I already had a blog created from a previous class so I continued to use the same blog. I don’t plan on using it again but who knows, maybe a future course will require me to use it again.

Class

Lately class has been going rough for me. My laptop was stolen out of my car and its becomming very difficult to get on a computer and complete my assignments. And when i am able to get on a computer it doesnt have the right software for me to do my assignments. Its getting really difficult and my grades are reflecting on it. I started out being a 4.0 student and now that i dont have my computer my GPA is gradually lowering. I starting to feel that i have over whelmed myself with school and work but i know its just the hard times. If i had my computer i would be fine but i have to still work at it and try as hard as i can to do what i need to do. I cant afford to buy another computer and the software all over again but im hoping i find out something quick.

IVE BEEN ROBBED.....

What i have been going through in the past 9 weeks is pure mess. I moved out of my parents house to try to stop stressing everything that was happening but it seemed to cause more stress. I moved into my friends house with her parents and things were going ok but then the day before yesterday I graduated from my other college because im attenting two of them right now and one of my guy friends invited about 15 of his female friends that i dont know and there ended up being a riot instead of a graduation party. EVERYBODY in the house was fighting because those girls came and some mess started. It was totally rediculous. Then, after that was finished the next day i go into work and come out to find that my computer has been stolen out of my car. I work at applenees in a well off neighborhood. I never wouldve thought someone wouldve did something like that. But lo and behold, i get to my car to see that my purse is turned upside down, they stole all my money out of my wallet which is everything i had, my digital camera was stolen, and now all i can think about is how im going to do my everyday assignments on my computer. I have to do my completed assignments over again. My rough draft for my paper, everything. Now i have to do all these papers over again and figure out what to do about my computer and my money cuz they took everything. Im just trying to stay on my schedule and do my work....But this is getting really hard. I hope things get better soon.

School has me.....

School is influencing my life up to this point in encouraging me to do well in life. I have a lot of school to go through before I can actually get to my career but I am motivated to get there. Every time I pass a test or finish an assignment I get that much more motivated to go through school and do well because if I look too far ahead I feel I will get discouraged at how much I have to do. If I encourage myself after each achievement it makes me want to go further. So right now school has me at a point of succeeding in life and climbing up the ladder. Its making me into who I want to be.

If someone used some of my work and didn’t give me proper credit I would be upset. I wouldn’t be ok with it because I put my hard work and own thought into what I created. I would want it to be known that it was my idea. This actually happened to me last quarter. I answered one of the discussion questions and put a lot of thought into what I said. The next day I read another one of my classmates work to do another response and I realized she copied and pasted all of my work. She stole my answer to the discussion question and reposted it as her own and then most of the other students replied to hers and not mine. I was upset because I felt like I was being bypassed after all the work I did. This is why it is proper to give the person credit who created whatever they created. Heck, I was ready to sue. : )
