Final Post!

Well, this is it.  The last week of our term.  Some of us have to take a final exam in our classes and some don't.  This class, thankfully we don't!  :)  I feel very good about my paper.  I had three people review it for me.  My only concern is whether I revised it enough.  Otherwise I'm feeling pretty good.

Thankful this term is at its end.  I need a break.  There is a lot of "outside" stuff going on that I need to get caught up on.  I've thought about taking on another class, but I am not seeing where I will have the time.  I'm already consumed by two classes and life so adding a third class would be to difficult.

It's been a pleasure getting to know many of you in class and on the blogs.  I thank our Professor for her help and smarts.  She really made this class go by smoothly!  :)

Take care and best of luck to all!

It's all over and done with!

I am so done with all this writing!  I am tired of writing papers and researching.  I have some finishing touches to do, and my final paper will be done.  I am thankful this class is almost over; however, I do believe that it has helped me become a better writer.  Especially with regards to APA format.  It still irks me that not everyone uses it, but hey, who am I to point it out!  :)  I am also thankful to have had such a great professor.  I truly does matter who you get for a professor and how you get along in class with them.  Professor Feraldi was excellent!!

This will be the last writing class I will have.  I have two more medical type classes and then on to transcription/typing training.  I don't think I'll have any issues there since I already type rather fast and without many errors if any.  Here's hoping!  :)

I wish all class members the very best of luck in their pursuit of a degree and a better future!  Remember to always reach for the stars!!

Week 8 blog post:

I do not believe that I will continue this blog once class is over.  I truly have not seen the point in it, especially since not too many people post on it in the first place.  This feels almost like a journal, of which I can not keep one on paper, so I doubt I'd be able to keep on online.  After working all day on the computer (work & school) I am sick of the computer.  I do at time go to FB and play some card games to unwind, but at the end of it all I am sick of looking at the screen and typing on the keys!

After reading my paper review, I am very please with what was said.  One class member in particular helped out immensely.  You know who you are!  :)  I am bothered by having to write two papers for week 9 and am feeling the overwhelm monster lurking around!  LOL  Once I have them written I won't feel so pressured.  All in all I have had a good term.  I feel that I have learned a lot of information; however, I struggle to see how I will use some of it in the end.  In the medical transcription field, I don't know how a lot of the info will help me, but alas, I am not Kaplan and I do not know everything, hence my being a student!  :)

Happy writing all.
