Writing

I have never been a good writer.  I have taken a few writing classes and can't seem to get any better.  I learn a few things but when it actually comes to writing the paper I don't know what happens to me.  I stress way to much about them and freeze up and can't think about them.  There is so much I need to work on when it comes to writing any kind of paper.  APA is something I really need to work on.  I just don't get it.  I try to do it by the book and say the website don't have all the info that is needed so I write it as I see it but still isn't right.  Well hopefully someday I will not be so stressed and will be able to write a good paper.

Blogging

I am new to the blog spot.  I have a facebook and am on it all the time.  I reconnected with family in Canada and friends that moved away.  Facebook is like part of my life I am on it all the time and check it throughout the day.  Prolly more than I should.  I have really enjoyed blogging and I would like to keep up on it.  I like it because it is like a journal with out the handwriting.  I am going to try to write something every week. 

Final Paper

I am currently still working on my final paper.  I know nothing like waiting till the last min right.  I am not a good writer and stress alot about my papers and with everything else going on in my life it makes it harder.  I have a ton of mixed feelings on my paper.  I am nervous, scared and a little happy with it.  I want to get a good grade on it.  I just need to be more confident in myself.  Im sure I will do just fine but just doing it and waiting is the hardest. 

Peer Review

I like and dislike peer reviews.  I like peer reviews because you can have more eyes on your paper to see if there is any mistakes that I am not seeing.  I also like it because the peers could help out with some ideas about my topic.  I kind of dislike peer review because I am not the best writer and have alot of mistakes on papers.  I feel that sometimes people may laugh or think I am dumb.  Most of the time I over come the fear.  Then again that is why I like peer review because they can help me.

What I have been dealing with the past 6 weeks!

Actually the past few months have been rough for me.  My exboyfriend moved out in July and that was a mess.  I found out he cheated on me and told him to leave so the next day while I was at work he moved out.  I came home to an empty house.  He took everything including the stove, fridge and food.  We had nothing until I could buy more for my son and I.  He also would not cancel the internet service and I couldn't get internet because there was a preexisting account at my house.  We are getting back on our feet slowly but surely.  I recently started a new job and they are working mandatory overtime so I am working 58 hours a week.  I have had a few deaths in the family within the past 6 weeks today is the 31 year mark that my older brother passed away and on thursday marks one year that my cousin took his life and a week after that another cousin passed away in a car accident.  So November is a rough month for my family and 2010 has not been a good year either.  On the good note I have been dating one of my friends.  He is truely the greatest most sweetest guy around.  I wish I would of dated him years ago when he asked me out. My life will get turned around soon.  Just can't wait for things to be normal again.
