English Comp Unit 8

I like blogging, just don't have alot of time to blog. And don't really know where to go in this blogger to see if anyone has blogged me back. So if anyone would like to tell me the route to travel to find this info out, would appreciate it. Is there a message board like myspace or facebook that I can go to/or do I just look on the dashboard for responses or comments on my blog? Help

For those who lived through the 80s :)

Not real crazy about them:(

I am a get to the point kinda of gal, and I have to be very careful about how I word things. Sometimes to many words are just overated. When I was younger I had issues with this, but as I have gotten older, I am more aware and work very hard to "watch how I say things." I am good at speeches now, but not real crazy about peer reviews, especially on discussion boards. The thing about peer reviews on a computer is their are so many different types of people that we have to interact with that are basically strangers. So even though you are doing an assignment, you know that these people are really working hard to do good, and some people have a hard time with peers telling them something doesn't look right. I am the opposite though, I want someone to get straight to the point and tell me what is wrong so I can fix it. I look at it as another learning tool, to help me reach my goals. So I guess, I like peer reviews when they are reviewing me, but don't want to give a peer review for fear of offending someone.

Frustrated!!!!!!

Had to blog and maybe get some frustrations out...... My other class is just bringing me down..... I read it, get it, and then I get a B or C on a test, perfection is expected and I am not a perfectionist. I hope it is okay to blog about stuff like this, because it helps me to get my frustration out. I like things organized, but I know I am human, so I gave up on being a perfectionist. Maybe that is wrong!!!!! I don't know. I don't like test. Test take words and jumble them up ( and I know it is so that you think about it) but I do think about it and it confuses me. I want to be tested on what I learn to see if I got it, not to see if I can put 10 things together and then get it. I am doing good to just learn how each one thing works, not 10 of them put together. Thats for someone who is experienced in their field. Oh well I feel better now!!!! I am not going to give up though, gotta keep trying to get it. :)

Unit 6

I enjoy blogging, but gotta write an outline too. So this blog will not be as creative as I would like. But did get outline in A&P done yeah!!!! I don't know what I would do if I had more than 2 classes this term. lol I really enjoy school, but it seems now that I am older I have so much more on my plate then I did when I was in college in my younger years..... But hanging in there... Good luck on your outline guys......

Working on my outline

My Education

This is my friend Mandi and the face she is making is pretty much explains my academic challenges. Oh Yeah! But I made it to the honors list, so guess I'm doing something right..... until another term.....lol. When I first start the process of writing a paper, I go for the information and find what I think is most interesting. Then I read through that information, writing down what is most important and interesting. After I occomplish all of that, I outline what I have written into my own words and of course shorten it a bit, because I am one of those people that write down everything. Then I look at each outline from each pc of info and compare and contrast. This is how I combine all the information together. And Whala! I have a either a piece of art or not....lol
