The end of English Composition II

My english comp class is now over and I felt confident about my paper until I read the comments on my last post.  I put alot of time into my final paper so, Im hoping that it turns out ok.  I have to admit I am a little nervous about what grade I will recieve.  Hopefully this course has properly prepared me for any upcoming classes and the next paper I have to write will turn out better.  I wish everyone in this class the best of luck on their papers and also on their future classes.  The Professor was right when she said there are many ways to ask questions such as email, chat etc.  Thanks to you Professor and to my Classmates for all the helpful feedback.  Once again, good luck to all!!

Nearing the end

My final paper is finally complete for my english comp class.  I feel ok about my paper, but not a hundred percent.  The classes that I had my first term were very easy, but the second term I dont feel so good about.  It was extremely hard for me to write a paper this length when Im not even use to being in a class.  I was unable to attend the live seminars that were offered and I feel that I may have done a little better if I would have been able to ask more questions and get more feedback from my Professor and Classmates.  Well,  I hope I did ok on this paper. 

Entering the end of the term in english composition

This term in my english comp 2 class is about to end in around two weeks.  I have to be honest and say that I probably will not continue to blog after this course.  I  think it is a good idea for those who use it as a place to go and write down their feelings on many different subjects.  It has been nice to use during this course to get some feedback on some of my posts, but honestly I really dont get many comments and I do not leave many.

Peer Reviews

This week in my English Comp class at Kaplan, we were asked to present a first draft for our papers.  After submitting these drafts, we were asked to post them so we could get feedback from some of our classmates.  I had a classmate give me some very helpful tips on my paper.  I am very new to all of this and her guidance really provided me with alot of useful information for my final paper.  With that being said, let me get started again!!

The first rough draft

I have really learned some new information on my subject of lupus that I am writing for my final paper at Kaplan.  I really do like this english comp class that I am taking, but Im not the best writer so, Im hoping I do ok with this.  I guess I am one of those individuals that knows what they want to say and it sounds great in my head, but when it has to be written down on paper, I just can't seem to get it right.  It took me about two weeks just to come up with my thesis, lol.  My best friend that I have had for over 20 years found out that she has lupus and this is why  I choose to write about this subject.  I wanted to find out alot about it.  I was just in her wedding two weeks ago, she made such a beautiful  bride.  It is somewhat amazing to me that so many americans are diagnosed with this disease when it is actually a condition people rarely talk about.  Well, wish me luck with my paper. 

Another Beautiful Day

Today has been such a wonderful, relaxing day.  I got some sun and watched a video of my son win his medal for coming in third place in a race with the whole elementary school.  Its sad I had to watch a video, but atleast I was able to see it and they will be home in three long weeks:(  I also started my new job yesterday and absolutely loved it and the people there are great.  Hope everything continues to go well!!

Falling behind

So, I am sitting in a hotel room, trying to get caught up with my school work.  I left PA yesterday and drove about 13 hours before I couldn't go anymore.  I missed both my seminars for my classes and this move has gotten me really behind.  I am so ready to get my life back to normal.  Today I will drive the rest of the way to Texas and move into my house.  I start my new job tomorrow and will be without my children for a whole week.  I hope everything gets back to normal soon:)
