Christmas is a Hectic Time of Year

It's the Christmas season coming on, and everything is hustle and bustle. I'm decorating the store windows at our shop on the square. BIG JOB.  But back to question at hand,  I was very pleased with the feedback I received, It was very helpful, I thought, and the feedback I got from seminar. But I wanted differrent opinions, that's what makes the world go round. I found all criticism refreshing,  and helpful. Many different eyes looking in. I really enjoyed this class, I think I have learned a few important things, which is always a good thing. I'm enjoying exploring this great vast world we live in. I'm loving every minute. Good luck to all my classmates. I wish Nancy would give me a heads up or down on my resubmission.  It would give me direction, which I need so much. Nancy if you read this, which I know you will, check your junk mail and see if my resubmission landed in there. Thanks so much for a wonderful term.  Life is good, this is my favorite time of year.

It's a Unique World In Which We Live

I must say this week has been a little scarry but unique in it's own way. I really like my peers basically grading my work, it gives you different opinions and inputs. I think I got helpful criticism and I hope I gave helpful criticism. That's what I tried to do.  But the Professor is the voice that truly matters when its all said and done. I think I have a great Professor, seems to be willing to help us to learn and even when we mess up she just walks us through the difficulty. She's really a remarkable lady.I'm thankful I have her this term.  I've learned so much from this class, and I hope to continue to learn. Although, this APA style and format is really hard to understand. I do my best, that's all I can do, and hopefully it good enough.

Waiting is incredibly hard

I'm waiting on my graded outline, and it's so hard. I'm nervous, and just biting my nails. But I think I did a fair job on my outline. I hope I did anyway. Plagiarism is really hard, because  they say you have to cite your work, they say you have to many in - text cites, then they say you plagiarized your work, and where do they think you get your information. Put it in your own words, but I don't have any of my own on the subject until I read and get the information from the source. All I'm saying is that it's hard. It’s really confusing. But on to something else, the November writing thing sounds really fun, that’s the kind of writing I enjoy. Just open your mind and let it flow. But 50,000 words is a lot of words to write in a month. I would have to find time to just sit and type. I’m not a great typist. So that scares me too. Being a slow at typist can be a bummer. This class has been fun and informative and I think I’m holding my own. So I’m thankful for every opportunity I get. I enjoy learning new things. I’m really happy with school. If they could just get my papers straight. Life would be good.

Life is Good !!

This has been a very good week.  I've learned new techniques about writing and I've really enjoyed trying out some of the ideas. I'm looking forward to writing my paper next week. I hope I do a great job. WE always strive to do our best, it's just human nature to want to do good, be the best. Well I'm no different. Yes, I have fear, I think we all do, but I think  the FEAR, it's what keeps us honest.

Plagiarism is really cheating!!!

I've learned alot about plagiarism. It's stealing others ideas and saying that their your own. Wether you mean to or not. Maybe you didn't understand the rules of paraphasing, or citing your text, but trust me it's worth finding out. APA format is very important. I may not know everything yet, but I'm learning and it's really great.

Learning can be fun!

I'm really enjoying learning this APA format. It's not as confusing as it was before this class- Composition II with Professor  Nancy Feraldi - She really teaches the steps, not just throws you out there and maybe you'll get it, maybe you won't. So I say it's really interesting and fun....

Learning all the time.

This is really nerve wrecking. I've never blogged before,not sure what to say. I have a question<  How do you take a screen shot? on the computer. It was in unit one exercise, I've done everything I can think of and no results. I'm not computer savy so the smallest of things throws me in the ditch.  Any feedback on this issue would be greatly appreciated.  How everyone doing in this class? I'm finding it very interesting. I'm a little lost though. I don't think the layout of the class  is correct. All the weeks assignments should be in the chapter. That's my opinion. well this was fun. Good luck to all of you. See ya in class.
