Learning one class at a time

Getting a degree one class at a time, slow and steady is the path to take.

This is my last blog for this term

Starting out this term I thought it would be no problem to have three classes and that I would be able to manage everything just fine. Well as you can tell by reading my blogs that was not the case. I am so releived this term is over and now after I finish this blog I have 2 weeks of no school. I am leaving tomorrow for a wonderful trip to Florida with a couple of real fun friends and I am just going to relax and enjoy the stress free week.

If I had to give advice to someone who was going to write a scientific paper the one thing I would tell them is to make sure they pick a topic that will interest them and that they can find current information on. Another thing I would tell someone is make sure to keep a timeline on what you need to get done and when you need to have it done by and then stick to it.

I am just glad I am done with my paper for this term and that I can put that behind me and that I feel I did a good job at what I wrote.

I am going to try and keep up my blog telling of my experiences of my continued schooling but I am not going to make any promises of that happening.

Thank to those who read what I had to say and maybe I will chat again soon.

One term almost done

Well I can not believe that I am almost done with yet another term at Kaplan. It is amazing to me how quick the terms go. I always think at the beginning of the ten weeks that it seems so far away and then all of a sudden it is week ten and we are done.

I just finished one of my final papers and I have never been happier to have the paper completed. I am finding that the longer I attend the more critical I become with myself. This paper was one of the hardest ones I have had to write so far. I really liked the topic I was writing about and it was interesting to me but I found that I kept rewriting my words to try and make it better. I have finally decided that it is good and I am done with it. I will though have a couple people read to make sure there is no grammar errors or punctuation problems but then I am done.

I am excited that this term is ending because that means I am that much closer to my trip to Florida as a treat to myself for my birthday and finishing yet another term.

I have learned a lot of new techniques on writing and hopefully I will maintain that knowledge throughout the rest of my adventure in school and beyond.

To continue the blog or not to continue, what shall I do

I started this blog because it was a requirement for one of my classes in school. I think I may continue this one because my adventure is not at all even close to being done. When I started this blog I had high hopes that my fellow classmates would read what was posted and maybe leave a comment or two. But unfortunately that did not happen. I am not sure if anyone even read any of my blogs. I cannot really complain though because I honestly only got to a couple blogs myself of other classmates. It seems like doing the blog is a great idea but at the same time it seems no one really did any more than they absolutely had to, including myself. I do like to blog and I like having topic ideas given to me to post about. So even though I say I will continue on here I am wondering if I really will. I enjoy writing my thoughts and ideas sometimes. I do wonder though if I really will keep this going when I know I am not getting graded on it and not really all that sure if anyone is even reading it. Most of the time when I post a blog I am hoping that someone will read it and give me some feedback on what was said. I do have to say though I am glad that this term in school is almost over. This has been the hardest term so far for me.
