The past 6 weeks...

The past 6 weeks have really flown by. Thanksgiving was an extremely busy holiday because my family and I had to visit a few places and I also helped my mom move into her new house. With all of the holidays and running around so much trying to get things done, these past weeks have flown by. I have had a difficult time with my final paper. I kept trying to change things around because I was unsure of the order and then I realized that I had not even started on my the draft for the unit 6 project. I have been rushing to get it done this week, on top of my other project that was also due today. I am going to enjoy this much needed Christmas break and when it is over, I am going to better manage my time and school work so that I can relax a little more and not stay stressed. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Unit 5: My life and school

Hi everyone. School is a huge part of my life and to be honest, is one of the most stressful things that I am dealing with now. That is saying something when you have two little ones running around like I do! I know it will be worth it in the end, but in the meantime, it is causing stress in my life. I stay home with my kids, so I am always spending time with them, but all of my free time (time away from kids) goes to house and schoolwork. This of course cuts into the time I spend with my fiancé and it is putting a big strain on our relationship. We both knew that school would demand more time from me, but I guess he never thought it would be this much and I thought the time spent would be easier to manage. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with all that is going on that I just want to stop everything and walk away, but then I snap back and remind myself that all of this hard work will give my family and me a better life when it is all said and done.

Unit 4: Plagiarism

Anyone who uses information that is not his or her own needs to cite the source. If not, then it is plagiarism. We need to cite the sources because it gives the persons credit for the work they did. That is really the professional and respectful thing to do. It also shows that you can back up information with the facts you provided, courtesy of others. And if anyone wanted to look at the original source for more information, you have already provided it for them so they don't have to go searching for it.
Plus, would you want someone taking credit for the work you did? I know I wouldn’t!

Unit 3 Blog

Hi everyone! Well, these past few days I have really benefited from being an online student. Everyone in my house has been sick and I finally got it last night. ughhhh. If I were taking traditional classes and got sick, I would have missed class. I love having the freedom to log on and attend class on my time. With taking care of kids and maintaining my house, this was the best option for me. I also have enjoyed meeting classmates that I otherwise would never had been introduced to. Good luck to everyone and I will see you on here another day!
