Unit 4 Blog

I feel the reason we need to cite our sources is with all the different books and papers out there, everyone would just copy and keep on going. What would we learn from copying? Absolutely nothing. I would confront that person and ask them why if I found out someone used my work without giving credit where it is due. I would also report him/her, because if I took the time to do the work, so could they. The current issues that have happened recently involving plagirism needs to be handle in the courts. I feel this way because a artist could be making some mad money off of someone else song and the original writer could be dead broke. Yes the internet blur the lines of legally owned.

Unit 5 Blog

My personal writing style is putting all of my ideas on paper first. After I complete that, then I take words or add words so that the paper starts to make more sense and not a bunch of stuff scattered everywhere. One thing about my academic challenge is time. My time management is horrible right now. I am in charge of a new clinic, son involved in every sport and my health is not all that it used to be. I have a couple friends that help me out, but in the end sometimes it all falls on me. School has influenced my life for the positive. My son really looks up to me for going back to school and my immediate family offer words of encouragement when I feel like giving up and throwing in the towel. I know seeing my name on that degree, will put a big kool-aid smile on my face.

Overwhelmed

With the term almost to an end, I still feel a little overwhelmed. I should be feeling a little better, but I am not. I am a little tired after finishing up this paper. I just want a good grade and will be so disappointed with myself if I do not score high. I always have been positive about writing and even though there were extra things added to the writing process, I still feel positive and I know that I will continue to write. My idea of writing has not changed after taking this course. Some other topics I will like to write about is the effects of cancer on children, healthy kids and fitness or nutrition. I can't believe that it is almost over.

To blog or not to blog

This is the very first time I have had to blog. I never knew what blogging was, until I had to create one for this course. At this point I can not really say if I will continue or not. I am due to have surgery next month, had to push it back so I could finish this term. No one has really responded to my blog, which is cool, cause people are busy.

Reflections

Time has really flown by and I am playing catch up. I can't blame no one but myself for getting so far behind. Gotta keep moving and looking ahead cause I know everything doesn't come like you want it to. Okay got to get it together.

Past 6 Weeks

These past 6 weeks have taken a toll on my grades. My job is so demanding right now. I feel like I am working 24/7 and along with school. I am really trying so hard to at least get a passing grade in this course. Gotta get motivated again.

Changes

This has been a very hard quarter for me. I have so many obligations and so little time. I really do not have anyone to help me so it is all on me. I am a little overwhelmed right now and my grades are really suffering.
I will be having surgery so trying to recover and finish this quarter is really going to be hard. I can only try my best. I will be taking some time off before I have a nervous breakdown. Really trying to make it.
