Getting There......

Hi Everyone,

Well, we are getting there for sure. Week 8 and counting. I have to say that I really honestly won't be continuing my blog, although this was a new experience for me. I didn't get a whole lot of responses nor visitors. I really did enjoy it for the most part and maybe if I knew more people I would, but I really am a more private person. I love to chat, but writing is a whole new ballgame. I really do not enjoy writing so this for me was tough to fill. I did find it fun for the short time. It was a new experience and I would do it again if I had another class that required it, but never to follow on my own. I have enjoyed everyone in class though and hope to see you in my future. :)

All The New Changes

Hey Everyone,

Another week and definitely counting. This course is really getting down to the wire at this point. I have so much to say on the essay but not enough space, so trying to condense it I am finding really tough. My thesis is still lousy, but I am racking my brain on how to word it. At this point the old brain is frazzled. lol

On another note, I have decided to change my field of choice, so I will be out of the medical part of it either this term or after the July, not sure if there was time to change that one. I am going into the criminal end of forensics instead. There is just not enough money in the medical transcription field, especially to pay for the student loans, so the course of study will change for me. For everyone that I had the pleasure to have in my classes you will be truly missed but that doesn't mean you can't write, I will still be here, just in another part of it.

I have had so much fun in blogging, I am really use to this now. I hope we do this in my other field of choice. Great way to blow some thoughts off for sure. Well, just wanted to say good luck to everyone if I don't see you further down the line, and make it your best!!

Another week! Yeah!!!!

Here we are into another week. Whooo hooo! Number 6 and counting. What did I find difficult over the last 6 weeks. Hmmmm.......let me think hard about this. ALL OF IT! lol No, actually it hasn't been that bad. I have learned to really like blogging, in which I didn't think I would. As far as the essay, well that goes. It is slowly coming there. I don't know how I am going to get six pages done by Saturday but I am pushing it. I have been doing a little a day, I go back and forth, do something else and then come back to it. I get a little brain storming that way and more energy to keep going on it. It gives me time for more idea's to search out and ways to search it. I have come up with quite a bit of information for my essay, it is just putting it into my own words that can be difficult. My hardest by far is citing properly. I have no problem giving credit where credit is due, just the format really gets me most of the time. Well, getting back to plugging away some more before class starts. Good luck everyone! :)

How Close But Yet So Far

Hey Everyone!

I have seen a bit of improvement over my attitude in the class. I get really frustrated when I just can know where to begin. This is a challenge for me as I do not and never have enjoyed writing. Have two classes this term that both include an essay, is definitely taking it's toll on me. I keep trying to stay motivated in it and it is coming slowly but surely.

I really do enjoy blogging when I thought that I never would. It does relieve a bit of stress being able to vent a bit. I know we will all get there eventually, so everyone, hang in there we are already halfway there! :)

Rest of this week.......

Hi Everyone!

Well, I am glad to say that I try and cite everything the best I can figure. Same as reference everything. It is always so important to give credit where credit is due. I would not be a happy camper if someone used my words to get the grade. So it is extremely important to do it. It is very easy to copy and paste someone else's work, but I feel that it is so important to give credit. You wouldn't want to take hours and hours of research, just to see someone else's name on it, so yes, cite cite cite, reference reference reference. It is very difficult to write out the citations correctly, to remember exactly how, or even the reference page, but that over time, it will come naturally once we do it enough. It will come, time makes a way of doing that.

How Far Have I Come?

I have to say that we have another week behind us first of all. I am having quite a time with my paper, as I do have such a controversial issue at hand. But I feel strong about the subject so I am going to continue to go with it. My biggest challenge is my thesis. That is my hardest part. It is a challenge for me, no matter how I write it, it just doesn't say what it has to say.

One thing I do want to say on a positive note, is I am really starting to like and enjoy this blogging thing. I never thought that I would, but it is almost coming as second nature to do it. I was one to keep to myself online as I don't like airing dirty laundry so to speak, but it is getting fun.

I really wish everyone to have an easy time writing there essays, that the words just come and flow easily. I feel that having the live seminars helps me out so much, and we get other opinions from the DB, so I really still love learning this way. Good luck everyone, make it your best! :)
