Unit 10 the end

Hooray hooray this is it until next term. I wish the Profesor and classmates the best and good luck in the future. I enjoyed the class and will push forward to do better. It was a difficult situation but I made it again. I may just check in every now and then to write a bit. I have had a good time in this class so hope the other Professors and classmates are just as helpful and fun.

End of Term-Unit 9

Thank goodness this term is almost over. I actually did better in this term than last term so, I am proud of myself. I just have to take what I have learned and use it in everday life if possible. My algebra class was the hardest but I did much better and I understood it better this time so that was a blessing. My college comp class went wel also, I just wish I opened up a bit more with my classmates. All in all this has been an ok term and and I'm glad that it is almost over....Hooray!!!!

Posting after class ends

Posting after the class is over is not something that I will be pursuing. I don't get many comments so I don't feel it is worth the time. Now, unless I have another class that requires me to blog then I will. I do like the post that others post and when I have time I do read some other classmates and they are enjoyable and interesting to read. So good luck to those that will continue.

Unit 7 Peer Reviews

Peer reviews is what we are working on now in this unit. I am ok with getting reviewed it is when I have to review another classmates work. I just don't feel comfortable doing that, because I may say something wrong about the paper when all along it was right, or I may not have the knowledge about the subject like that person would. I just like to read another persons work and say whether it was good or not so good. I guess this will be my test to see if I can do this peer reviewing of others work. I just have to learn to not second guess my self on certain things also. But I think it will be a challenge for me to learn something else to better my understanding of certain techniques.

Unit 6 Blues

Unit 6 was a bit challenging, by trying to get my research paper done. While I was in the process of collecting information for my research paper I had gotten sick, went to the hospital twice within two weeks, and been in bed for about a week total. Now I was wondering when things would get better, so I could get back to my school work and other activities that needed to be done. This was a hard couple of weeks for me but I am back in motion, and it feels good. I wrote about anxiety and its causes, and it really made me think about stress, because stress is one of the main causes of anxiety and panic attacks. I have to say this is a very interesting topic and I'm glad I wrote about it.

Freewriting

I like freewriting because you can write about whatever and just go on. Freewriting is not having a certain topic, or this theme or that. I like to write without the pressure. I like to just write in a journal. Freewriting is when you don't have to edit, and you can also get plenty of ideas out of what your writing. You can write everything down without worrying about punctuation or complete sentences. Then at the end you can go back and put it all in perspective.

Academic challenges, we all have to deal with I think. I was very sceptical about starting at Kaplan. I have many challenges that I need to overcome. The first thing that I feel is challenging for me is my time management, second would be staying ahead r on track with my studies. I knew going back to college would be difficult and time consuming but, I will get through it, with hard work and help.
