Week 8 Peer Review from Unit 7

As I am writing this blog I feel really horrible I have an ulcer, my allergies are severe an the medication that doctor gave me is not working even over the counter medications aren't working. My week is starting off terrible already. Last week for unit 7 we had to post our draft to the discussion board and I really liked the feedback that was given from my peers on my paper. My main concern was making sure I got my point across. I learned that I need to work on my grammar, and my thesis is a little to wordy so I need to cut out all the extra words that don't need to be there. I also learned that my thesis was not in the right place I don't know how I didn't catch that thank god for peer review. Overall my peers broke down my paper and explained what was wrong or right and what they liked and didn't like. Actually there where no dislikes about my paper so I guess I am doing good so far. I just want to say thanks to everyone who took the time to critique my paper I really appreciate the feedback.

Unit 7 Break Down!!!!!

This week has been the worst so far Thursday I broke down crying I was so depressed I didn't want to be around my kids which has never happen to me ever. My husband is training so he isn't here,I take care of my 15 year old sister plus my 2 kids which are 4 years old and 15 months. I have no financial help from my father who is an alcoholic. I am trying to be real nice about the situation and not take him to court and on top of this managing school. My husband is leaving in September for 8 months I don't know how I am going to make it with out his help. Cleaning, cooking, taking care of my kids plus my sister and school work it's overwhelming at times but this time it really broke me I barley want to get out of bed. I constantly help others in my family but no one ever ask me if I need help. I just want me time and not just a day or two I need time for me.

Wow Week 6

Wow cant believe we are in week 6 already this is where things start to get complicated well for me at least. I am having so much trouble trying to get my paper together. I sat here for hours today writing, writing and writing I am just having trouble trying to pull it together. I know I will get it done but man I am tired of doing this paper. My topic is NCLB it is a boring read already, well some of it is interesting I am mainly focusing on the standardized testing in schools so its not as bad. I was so confused on the post outline I thought it was suppose to be a regular outline but I learned in class it wasn't I mean I guess its better then doing a regular outline. I didn't even know there where different outlines to tell you the truth but like they say you learn something new everyday!

Halfway There!

Hello Everyone

This is my 4th term and we are now halfway through which is exciting but at the same time this is where it can get difficult. In class we where talking bout pre-writing techniques which was mind boggling because I was still trying to work on my thesis never mind writing down my ideas. Time fly's by so quick so don't take it for granted or when unit 10 comes you are definitely going to struggle! PROCRASTINATION is a very BAD habit that we all do so any cleaning save for later its not like your going to have a rodent infested house just because one load of laundry didn't get done or couple of dishes didn't get washed and as far as using the kids for an excuse it does not work you signed up for college knowing you had kids so don't use it now. The reason why I am saying this is because I do all these things and maybe putting it all out there on my blog will help:) Hope you enjoy and learned a little something from reading this! Good Luck

Exhausted!

I am sorry I usually write my blogs earlier in the week but having kids and preparing for the 4th really wore me out. Oh my god for the discussion for comp. it took me close to 6 hours to finish I was so stressed and irritated I really didn't think I was going to get my initial post in on time but I did. I still have to take my quiz and answer another classmate tomorrow plus my homework for my other class but that's what college is all about..lol I swear it never ends I don't think it would be so bad if my kids where a little older. One is 4 yrs old and the other 15 months and all they want is mommy what is up with that? They are boys shouldn't they want daddy?
