Final Thought

As we bring this term to an end I have a great deal of mixed emotions.  I am glad it is over and that I did turn in paper that got me full credit for the work that went into it. 

When you get used to something you tend to miss it when its gone.  That is how I feel about this class.  I will miss it.  It has brought me to have a better understanding of the different writing processes that are out there.

I have a greater passion now for writing now then I did in the past.  I did walk away with a vast knowledge of proper use of different techniques.  I am forever grateful for all that I have learned and I owe a deal great of gratitude to my Professor Julie who was always there willing and able to help us out.

Thank you for all that you have done for me this term Professor Julie and with that being said, wishing all a great holiday and a Happy New Year.

Do you feel nervous, accomplished, or just plain tired?

As we enter week 9, which means that there is only one more week left. I have many feelings.

I am nervous, do feel accomplished and I am tired.  I am nervous because you put your work up for all to view you do feel nervous about their reaction.  You are worried did you do a good job, have captured what you set out to do.  How will your audience and Professor review your work? 

I feel accomplished because this is what these last 9 weeks have been about.  Bringing the final paper to light.  I know I have worked hard and done a great deal of research on this topic and I am glad that it is time to get the feedback that we have building for each week.

I also feel tired because after 9 weeks and many hours of research and changes I am just tired of changing things not knowing whether the changes are for the good or bad.

As I close this term out though I have learned a great deal of tools that will further carry me through the online learning process.  I came in not knowing what a research paper was or how to begin one and I walk away with a research paper on a topic that does not get much attention.  Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not a topic that gets a lot of attention due to the fact that it means that a mother has been abusing alcohol while pregnant.  Although it goes way beyond her poor choice and takes a look at how children born with this disease will have very challenging lives and how communities are turning their back on them thinking its not there problem that their parent chose to drink while pregnant.  In reality I have learned that it does affect the community also.  It affects them in areas of schools, health care cost, jails, and a host of other problems that they have to deal with.  Who is speaking up for these babies that were given a raw deal from the point of conception?

Thank you all for these last nine weeks and I did think this was going to be corny but I have come to enjoy this blog thin.  Till next week which is the final week stay blessed and have a great week.

How do you feel about the comments, or lack of comments, that have been made to your blog posts?

As we enter week eight of our term and I review all that I have done this term, I do not mind that no one has commented on made any post to my blog.  At first it did bother me because I would follow people and then comment on their post and thought that they would do the same.  Then I realized that they may have many things going on in their lives and for them to just be able to post to their blog may have been difficult.

I understand now that each and everyone of our lives are different and unique in its own way.  I just wish all my classmates the best in their writing ability.   If you care to comment then do so and if not its okay also.  If I read a blog and I want to comment on then I will.  Sometimes I get to busy also to even do that.

Keeping up with blog after this term will happen since its already started and its not going to go away, why not get more practice writing buy using this forum.   I guess I will have to pick and chose the topics I care to talk about but then I can do that now.  I just really like having some direction with it but we shall see what happens.

Have a great week and soon this term will be over.
