It is finally over...........and it was fun!!!

To someone who is writing his/her first scientific paper I would advice him/her to have Julie Pal of Kaplan University as their English composition II professor.  She is the best.  I went into that class just knowing that “I would not do a good job” and she made that statement a false statement.  I did great because she made sure that I did what I needed to do to make it through the class.

In the past 10 weeks, every area of my writing has been strengthened and I feel much better about writing.

Now that the class is over I am truly going to miss it.  I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

THANKS PROFESSOR JULIE PAL FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Count down to the end means.................

With my paper done, but needing to be proofread, I feel relieved but at the same time nervous because I do not know what my grade will be on the final paper.  I have a headache and I still need to proof my paper. I am so tired and will be so glad when December 21, 2010 at 11:59pm gets here. I NEED A BREAK. I am starting to resent school.

Because I do not like to write and I probably never will, I feel much better about writing as a whole.  I know that I will write more papers as long as I am in school and I will definitely use everything that I have learned in CM229 in the future.  Eventhough I do not like to write, I really enjoyed the class as a whole.

At this time, I would not like to research anything.  In the future I would like to research "Hypertension".

Week 8: Issues, thoughts about comments, and will I continue to blog

I looked at the calendar a couple of days ago and realized that we are in unit/week 8 of this term and I said WOW!!! I was so anxious about the writing process that I never thought about issues just about doing a great job in the course.  As for how I feel about the comments or lack of comments, well no one has commented on my blogs. I guess they were not interesting enough.  I will probably not continue to blog after this course because I only think about it when I look at the required work for the unit.

Overall, I have enjoyed learning so much in this class and I regret that I can not wait unil the final project is completed and graded..............Enjoy!!!

How do you feel about peer reviews? What have your experiences with them been like?

I do not feel good about peer reviews because of the anxiety that I experience with writing period.  I do not feel that I have the experience to give a good review.  In the past, when I had to do a peer review I gave a good review because we had to do a group project and do an evaluation of each member of the group.  Is a peer evaluation the same as a peer review?  Everyone in my group did their share of work and we received an A for the project.  So the reviews were good ones.

I think that the peer reviews are good because we get to help and encourage our fellow students in the process of writing a great persuasive research paper.

The Last Six Months I have been dealing with.....

.....doing all that I can not to stress myself out about the paper that is due for College Comp II.  Professor Julie is so supportive and I know that because of her, I will do a great job, but I am still so anxious.  I can't even think about writing anything else until I have completed this paper.  I have done my rough draft and I still need to do more research to lengthen my final paper.  This week I will not have time to work on it, but after the Thanksgiving holiday, I will be back at it non-stop.  "A Better Writer I Will Be"

Having a blog moment and..............

I just need to think and write. I am so overwhelmed with all that is going on in my life right about now I could scream for awhile. LOL. I need to vent and I will vent here on my blog. To begin with I need a couple of rest and relaxation days. I am trying to juggle, not having a job, keeping my house, school work, the holidays, and paying bills without a job. Thank God that my daughter is situated and I do not have to worry about her and her school.  The bible tells us to pray and don't worry, if you worry don't pray; I am doing all I can to pray and not worry, God will bring me out.

Thank you blogger family for reading my post and encouraging me in a positive way.
