Week 10

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for a break. These past 10 weeks have been very trying for me and I am burned out and ready for a nice break before I start my next round of classes. This class has made me a better writer because I have learned some new techniques in writing. All of these techniques I will take with me to other classes when writing papers. Well, it was nice having class with you and I have learned a lot that I will continue to use in the future.

Week 9

I am beyond burned out this term. I am looking forward to a R&R over Christmas break before I start new classes. Finishing up my paper for Comp 2 and A&P 2. I feel nervous and tired. I am nervous because I am afraid that my paper isn't written well. I always get really nervous writing a paper, but I think I am a good writer and I usually get good grades on my papers. I still am in the process of editing and revising my paper and also finding some interesting facts to make my paper a little longer to satisfy the length requirement. Well wish me luck!! Bak to writing my papers!!!

Week 8

Coming into the home stretch. This term has been difficult for me. I just had a beautiful baby girl who is 3 months old today!!! I have been back to work for a little over a month now and it has been hard for me to adjust to things and find a good routine for myself and my kids. I have enjoyed my classes this term, but I am burned out and ready for Christmas break. I think I have finally found a good routine for my kids and I and when I can do my schoolwork. I usually bathe them and get them to bed and work on my schoolwork for a few hours each night. It is virtually impossible to get anything accomplished when the kids are awake!! I think I might continue to use my blog after this class is over because it is nice to have somewhere to write down my thoughts.

Peer Reviews

I think peer reviews are great. It's always good to get a second look on your paper to check for grammar and sentence structure. Constructive criticism has always helped me. Your peer may see something that you over looked which could mean a good grade or a bad grade on a paper. I have always had good experiences with peer reviews. I almost always prefer to have someone read my paper to check for things I may have missed.

The Past 6 Weeks

Well the past 6 weeks, have been crazy for me. I am trying to juggle a 3 year old, a 2 month old, school, and a 40 hour work week. My fiancee also works 40 hours a week and we work opposite shifts for the kids, so I don't see him and I normally have to wait until the kids are in bed to tackle my school work. Things have been rough and stressful. I barely have enough time each day to sleep. I never thought when I went back to work things would be so stressful. I am developing a routine everyday though to be able to get more things done each day. It's starting to become easier because I know what I have to do each day in order to get everything accomplished. School, work, and family life is definitely rough, but I keep telling myself furthering my education will benefit my family and I in the future. Thats all for now. Have a good one all.

Week 5

I am starting to feel a little stressed and overwhelmed at this point. I am still in the process of researching for my paper and I also have another term paper due for my A&P 2 class. Since starting back to work after having my daughter, I haven't really gotten back into the swing of things. My fiancee works night and work days, so I am at home with the kids by myslef at night. I have a hard time finding an adequate amount of time to do the proper research for my papers. I've been doing a little here and a little there. I keep going because I know in the long run I am going to benefit from college and I want to make the best for my family. Goodbye for now, back to researching.

What would you do if someone used something you created without giving you credit?

Hi everyone! Plagiarism is a pretty serious thing and I think it is really important for people to be educated on it. It is really not fair to a person who spent a lot of time doing research on a certain topic and coming up with ideas to just have anyone steal them and take credit for them. If someone were to use something I created without giving credit to me, I would be extremely angry. I spent so much time and put so much effort into researching and coming up with ideas and someone just took credit for my work. I would probably confront them and take legal action.

My First Blog

So, this is my first blog. I never really thought I would be interested in blogging, but this seems pretty cool. It's probably going to be a good idea to have a place where I can write my thoughts and feelings everyday. Right now, Kaleb and Aubri are watching Sesame Street while I attempt to get some school work done before I have to go pick up my niece from school. My niece, Rorie and my son, Kaleb are only 11 months apart and they've pretty much grown up together. So, naturally they are argue like brother and sister. I have Rorie every Thursday because my sister is a single mom and she works a double every Thursday. Usually, I am here by myself with the munchkins, but thankfully Anthony does not have to work tonight. Things get kind of crazy with Rorie and Kaleb. They like to argue and Rorie is older so she thinks she little miss boss. Well, that's all for now. I need to get some schoolwork done. :)
