DONE

I just turned in my last project that we had to do for my writing class.  We needed to make an ePortfolio and it made me see all the progress that I have made over the semester.  I think my writing improved and I faced some challenges like most people have.  Challenges are never a bad thing, they only help you to advance in what you are doing.  Possibly even taking a step back and see what needs to be changed and where you want to take it.  Take things one step at a time and keep an open mind.  Things will only get better no matter how many steps you might take in the wrong direction.  You will get there eventually and be proud of what you have accomplished.

Finishing up the semster

As I get ready to finish my semester, as I am writing my paper for my ethics class, I find myself trying to use strategies that I learned in my writing class to make my ethics paper better.  I am trying my best to keep my own opinion out of it and just use what I learned to make the argument.   As I struggle to stat the paper, I keep an open mind and just start by putting ideas out there instead of trying to just make it all happen right away.

I am also trying to finish up my ePortfolio for my writing class.  I honestly have not put much time into it out of class but my draft that I have typed up so far is turning out well.  I just need to put my thoughts into sentence form since now I just have it down there so I knew what I wanted to say.  Then I just have to add in the links for my work that I want to stare that I enjoyed the most and that I learned from the most.

Done with my paper...

I have just completed my paper for my writing class and I am feeling pretty good about it.  I enjoyed my topic and that we got to choose our own.  By being able to pick my own topic, I got more into it because I was interested in what I was researching and writing about.  After putting in all my sources and fixing how it transitions from one paragraph to another (mainly this) it really helped my paper.  The little things make the big differences when reading and rereading to make sure that I am proud of what I am turning in.

Two down, one to go

It is that time of year and everyone is trying to finish up all the projects that are coming to and end.  I cannot believe that this semester is almost over.  It went by so fast and we have gotten so much done.  I feel good about this semester.  Some classes I wish I did better in but with finals around the comer I am going to study and finish the semester off strong.  I always stress so much around this time of year like most people are, especially nursing majors such as myself making sure that our grade is where it needs to be to continue on our path.  This semester in my microbiology class, I had to find a different way to study instead of just reading it off my computer.  I started writing it in a spiral and then writing it on notecards and going over that and it really helped me and I feel better about how I have been doing.  It is never too late to find a new way of studying that is better and helps you learn more.
