Finishing Thought

Ok, so on Thursday I said we need to learn to question things in a correct manor. By this I do not mean obnoxious but to ask questions before jumping on the badwagon of things. People jumping onto the bandwagon going along with all of the hearsay is just caous and so far has not show us any good outcome. Question the caous. If each person would think about things this way then maybe our world would be a little more peaceful and less apt to attack or run in fear with each new instance that arises. This was just my final thought.

Signing off for the last time.....Thanks for reading.

OOPS

Oh Man! I am so sorry! I forgot that I left you hanging with that idea at the end of yesterday's blog. I guess I do have something more to write about! I will write on it later since I just posted my no more writing Idea one. I will make sure to make the last blog intriguing or try to anyway. Sorry again! Man, I am so scatterbrained...

Ending....

I have nothing more to tell you about as far as my writing goes. I feel literally drained of all ideas that could possibly be an idea to write about. I guess I am going to write about not having anything else to write about. It is not a good feeling to think your brain is so exausted it can not come up with any more ideas to write about. I am glad this class is a short summer class because a 5 semester class would have been torture to write on each day. I have stated it it over and over in my blogs that I am not a strong writer and I struggle unless given strict direction of what to write about. This may be something that bites me in the butt later but as for now I am only a Jr. writer I would say. Not really a minor or a major like in baseball but more like a tee ball player. Interesting metephor isnt it?

BTW Congrats to the Cards for winning on Wednesday! I was surprised!

Hello

Hello all my blog followers. I dont think I have very many hee hee. I am back today with no topic at hand to write about. Tomorrow is the final day of class and still no grade has been issued on the fourth paper. I hope it will not be the downfall of my portfolio. It seems as though I always am writing about my fears and insecurites of this class. I do have several as I have stated before, I am in this class to succeed. If I didnt think I could do it I wouldnt be here but it is so critical that I do so I can move on and get to the goal I am trying to achieve. This goal would be the oh so competitive nursing program. Writing has never been my strong point but I have tried very hard this semester to achieve my goal. It has really helped that the teacher seems to be super into his topics and students. He has given us topics that motivate us to learn more. I bet as a classroom teacher he would be awesome in that hip fun sort of way that still gets your wheels a turnin in your noggin and helps you learn as much as you can possibly learn in one semester. It is good to be aware of the current situations in our world today. We also need to learn to question things in the correct manor. This last part will be part of my next blog though so stay tuned! :)

English 102

The final portfolio has got my wheels a turning at the moment. I am just not sure how to improve my essays anymore than I have. I thought that this was going to be the easy part but really its not. I am very insecure about my grades. Now that I am back in school for real this time I want to only do the best that I can. If that were not my goal I wouldnt be here because its not something that should be just for fun, for something to do. I am trying to better myself and succeed. I am ready to have a career just got a few obstacles in the path at the moment.

The real thing that I am nervous on is the grade defense essay. I am sure it needs to be a short essay and I dont know really what to say. I mean, I am sure everyone is going to say I think I should get an A and here are my reasons. Who wouldnt want that. I just need to think on this some more. This is about the only thing I have left to do and Friday is in 2 days! Well, wishing myself some luck....lol....and signing out. Catch ya lata.

Getting Closer!

We are almost to the end. All I need to do is get my portfolio together and I'm done with school! Yay! I think I need to do a little work on my first paper as there were some good suggestions on what needs tweaking. I will have to find a proof reader to bounce my papers off of or maybe a couple different people. That is one pro side to being in a class room setting. Many teachers have you pass your papers around to other students giving you time to review and give constructive criticism on improvments that can be done.

I feel pretty confident in my papers expecially since we got grades along the way. I do want to add to my 3rd and 4th essay as well making them a little longer. I think I need to research the exact proper way to also list my internet references. It has been so long since I had to do something like that I do not remember. Good thing I kept that Martin's Manual. I am sure something must be in there. Intersting isnt it.....I will be doing research to find out how to list my research! I just thought that was a little thought "funny".

Good Job

I just wanted to take a moment and blog about how well I think everyone did on coming up with their topics for this last paper. Everyone was very creative. I honestly had a very hard time coming up with a topic. I am sure others did too. I feel like everyone really got into this and it shows in their papers. I guess as Tom said before, we are an exceptional class! I am glad to be able to read and work along side people who take so much pride in their work.
