Unit 10

Well it's the end of the term and all frustrations have finally come to an end. I only have one comprehensive exam to take for A&P I (H) and then I am on my way to some relaxation. I am still a bit confused about some of the ways to review your writing before handing it in, but I think I am getting the hang of it. Slowly but surely. I hope everyone has a had a wonderful term and is ready to continue on the journey of furthering their education. Life is short so live it fun. Best of luck to each and everyone.

Sincerely,

Rabecka

Unit 9

With my paper almost done I still feel extremely stressed out. I always seem to forget something I meant to change or correct and then remember to change it after I have already submitted it to the drop box. For example last term I wrote an extremely wonderful paper on child hood obesity. I was happy with the paper I had written and became overly excited to turn it in, but completely forgot to complete my references page. However, I was able to email my professor and was aloud to send it via email. I was so scared and stressed out that I was going to loose major points and possibly get nailed for plagiarism because I had forgotten to complete and attach my references page.

Well the term is almost over and I cannot wait to just kick back and take a deep breath. I hope everyone had a wonderful term and I wish everyone the best of luck in pursuing their education. It takes a lot of time and effort but it is all worth it in the end.

Unit 8

I am choosing to write about the lack of comments to my blog spot. I think the lack of comments is mostly due to my own self. Mainly because some things have happened this term that have caused it to be hard for me to keep up with school. Thank goodness I am now back up and running and everything should be ok for me. The stress of moving is gone just got a few things left to put away. I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday break.

Unit 7

Things have been so frustrated and overwhelming for me the last couple of weeks it is not even funny. I have fallen way behind in both of my classes but I am doing my best to catch up. I just want to scream because I cannot believe I have let myself fall this far behind. I am going to keep pushing forward though and hopefully everything will be ok. I don't know what else to do except to keep pushing. I thank both of my professors for being patient with me considering everything that has gone on for me and my children in the last couple of weeks. Hopefull i can get this all caught up and turned in.

Unit 6

Wow what a couple of weeks. I have not been able to post anything basically I missed the entire unit 6. I intend on working on it over the time Kaplan is down for the holidays, but it is still going to be a lot of work. I ended up moving out of my home two days before christmas and I have just now started to get everything back up and running and most of my life back to normal. It has been a stressfull but very happy last couple of weeks. Kids Kids Kids everywhere and to get them to get a long yeah right that is a joke, but oh well that is part of having a family with lots of kids. I love them all and that's all that matters.

Unit 5

Going back to school has changed my life so much. My days used to consist of taking kids to school, cleaning house, picking kids up, cooking dinner, and putting kids to bed. Life was simple. Sometimes over whelming but simple. Today I seem to have an overwhelming affect on my children and there homework. I used to be pretty laid back with their homework and let them do it right before bed. Today I make an effort to help them with their homework directly after school and most of the time I sit down and do any work I have to get done with them. I am trying to redirect my children and show them that it is important to stay on top of things.

I also got my oldest daughter back in my custody this term which has caused a big bump in the road when it comes to my studies. She has been bounced around so much that she doesn't know wether she is coming or going when it comes to school and I have to keep reassuring her that she is staying with me and I am not going to move. Her father has done so much moving around that she has been unable to stay at one school for an entire school year since preschool and she is in the 4th grade. She is having a hard time making friends and I think it is because she is afraid to let anyone get close to her because of the fear of moving away and loosing her friends again. Another thing she is having a hard time with is understanding her school work. I am probably going to end up holding her back that way she can catch up. She has never stayed at a school long enough to actually understand what was being taught. Time for me to step up and teach her how to live life the right way. With consistency.

Unit 4

Wow what a crazy day. Here I am sitting at my computer for what seems like all but 4 hours of the day today. What a mess. I finally got it fixed. Trying to get some tests done all day and for some reason could not get into class completely. Stressful that is for sure.

As for what I would do if someone used something I created and did not give me proper credit for my efforts I think I would be upset. Although I am not against sharing something I have created with other people. For example, there is a tv commercial called "Your Baby Can Read", and instead of purchasing one for my children for the cost of a couple hundred dollars. I just took pictured of every day things and created my own slide show for them to see. They are not reading just yet but it is amazing at how fast they pick up on things. Another example would be that I learned about an amazing website for children to learn their alphabet. I could take all the credit for teaching my 22 month old son how to say all the names and sounds of the letters of the alphabet, but instead I tell other mom's about this amazing website that helped my son to advance a little to fast for my own good. I hope all is going well for everyone this week in class. I need to hit my pillow.
