It's Over!

Well, another term down, several more to go! One step closer to graduation. I decided to write about the advice I would give to someone writing a scientific paper. Research is definitely something you can not do enough of! Don't be afraid to go back and research more as you are developing your paper. I ended up going back during my rough draft stage to find more information for one area, and ended up finding an abundance of information that I incorporated into my paper that gave me the research I needed to back up my paper. I found one article that had about ten articles included in it. I ended up citing about six of the articles I found in one source! I found freewriting to be the most effective for me during the pre-writing stage. I develop my thesis statement around the questions I have regarding my topic. So when you are writing your paper, think about the questions someone else would have when reading about the topic and make sure to address those questions. Also, the writing center is truly a great source of information! I found the paper review service to be an invaluable tool. Also, take any feedback you receive and think about it carefully when revising/editing your draft. Hope everyone enjoyed this term!

Farewell

I can't believe this term is almost over with! I thought the first term of college comp improved my writing abilities, but I had no idea how much the second term would improve them even more.  I like taking these classes with my other class that I have to write a research paper in as well.  I am looking forward to an easier term next, with a typing class, computer class and one other one.  I am in need of a break! I am that much closer to graduating and can't wait until that comes! Almost half way and it seems like I just started school. I am enjoying the ease of online classes, and will more than likely continue at Kaplan to get my bachelor degree.  I hope everyone did well in this class, and you continue to do well in your future classes!  Good luck all.

Commenting

Hey All.  I can not believe that it is almost the end of the term!  I have not been posting a lot on my blog, just what is required.  I haven't received too many comments on my blogs, but I think if I posted more often I would receive more.  I have noticed that I have received comments when it comes to my personal life, rather than stuff that has to do with school!  I love the comments that I have gotten when it comes to my personal life.  It's nice to hear opinions and advice from someone that can be objective.  It makes me feel better to know that other people are going through or have gone through the same things.  I hope everyone is doing well in this term, and hope to see more of you in our next classes!  I am glad I am doing as well as I have in this term, and hope I can continue it going forward!

Getting Ahead

I fell behind a couple weeks ago, and am finally almost all caught up! I am waiting for my professor in my A&P course to let me know she got my doctor's note so I can make up my work for that class. I am finally starting to get a better balance in my life to where I am not falling behind in any one area. Bonus is that I finally am able to start doing a different position for work and stop cleaning! I have been waiting to take my training class that is offered once a month. I am going to be leasing now, which means that I get commission on every rental :-) I helped out in the office today just by chance, and got two rentals my first day! I know that won't happen often, but at least I started with a bang! Everything is starting to fall into place for me, which takes some pressure and anxiety off. I can't wait for this term to end so I can start fresh next term! One more year and I will be done...can't come soon enough! Hope everyone has a good weekend :-)
