Week 9

Well, this is the second to last post that I am required to have done. This has been interesting. Blogging. In my writing class, my final paper is due. My goodness, its hard to do and I'm nervous about the outcome. My final exam is next week in my other class, which covers weekd 5 though now. I made an A on the mid-term exam and I pray that I do just as good this time around. I also pray for Gods help in giving me the correct mind frame and wisdom with my paper too.  Well Its late and I really need to get up early in the morning to work on my paper.
Til next week:)

Week 8

It just blows my mind that it is week 8 already. I mean it does feel like it because of all the work I've been doing but still, it goes so fast. This week in my writing class, my assignments are to blog, to do my initial discussion on paramedic revision on a paragraph from my draft, respond to two classmates and work on my final paper. The problem that I have that Ive noticed is, I pretty much like to get to the point of things whether talking or writing and have trouble going on and on about a certain topic. For example, my paper that is due has to be 6-8 pages I believe and I only have 4. in my opinion Ive explained everything I feel that I needed to, but rules are rules and Ive got to try and on this paramedic revising, you basically check for grammatical and spelling errors and take things out of sentences, like prepositions, and some type of verb, like "to-be" verbs or something like that. Which goes back to my problem, if I already have trouble coming up with words to make a good paper, I'm having trouble figuring out which words to take out... I know one thing writing the proper way is Hard (to me atleast).
As for my other class, I have to make a 6-8 slide powerpoint to wrap-up my final project. The subject Ive chosen throughout the course is Coronary Artery Disease, anything related to the heart is my cup of tea. I'm hoping that when Im done with school, I'll be able to work in a cardiologists office. Its just my favorite subject, even if it is a complicating one.
2 more weeks of school, then maybe a week off. What am I going to do ? I usually enjoy reading but since I do that all the time I'm not sure. maybe I'll ride over to Manhattan, walk around and eat a "dirty" water dog. (hot dog) lol.. and enjoy not having to worry about school work :).
Well, I guess I could go on chattering but like I said above: lots of work to get done... Til next week

Week 7

This semester is flying by... already week 7. I remember being told to enjoy my childhood because it flies by, seems to me thats just how it is with life.
Life is a funny thing, one day you feel blessed, thinking everything is going pretty smooth and the next something goes wrong and down hill from there. It says in the Bible " not to worry about tomorrow" is this possible? There are so many crazy things going on in this world, every time I watch the news my mouth drops. On a different topic, have you ever seen a double rainbow? The two that I saw were over my neighborhood and looked to be a quarter of a mile apart.  I thought it was so pretty.
As for this house,  things are getting organized slowly and its done nothing but rain for the past week and a half. My sons have atleast 2-3 hours of homework everyday so I'm trying to develop a new routine in the afternoons when it comes to cooking dinner and helpin them with their work and getting them ready for the next day. Well speaking of my boys they'll be home soon and I still have to call my advisor back to register for next term classes.
