Hello everyone,
I can't believe we're almost done with this term. The time seems to just fly by. This term I have had trouble with the argument that I should use in my final paper, the introduction, and the conclusion. I have a hard time summing up the paper in just a few words. I have learned that it can be done and I will finish this paper ( even if it kills me, lol ). I really like the comments that everyone left for me. I read every one of them and take them into consideration. I have had a lot of fun in this class and I really like my fellow students. I am going to miss all of you, including our professor. This has been a great learning experience for me. I don't plan on continuing with the blog. I don't really like doing them. I know some people just love to blog, but I'm not one of them. I hope everyone has a great 4th of July holiday. Everyone stay safe!!!

Week 7 WOW!!!
Hello Everyone,
Can you believe it, we're almost done with this term. We only have 3 more blogs to do after this one. It's going by so fast (don't blink). I think that I will write about the peer criticism. I like to have people tell me truthfully what they think of my work. This way I can improve on it. I know that there's always room for improvement. It may be hard to hear sometimes, but I think that it will make me a better student and person. Sometimes I may not agree with it, but I still listen to it. I hope that everyone tells me what they think truthfully about my blogs and my final project. I will do the same for everyone else. Have a great week and I'll see you on the discussion board.

What's next?...
Hello all,
Just an update on everything that has happened within the last 2 months. My nephew had surgery to remove a b.b. that was in his foot. After surgery he aspirated so this gave him pneumonia. He was in the hospital for 3 days after his surgery. He finally got to come home on a Sunday. When he got home he was pretty careful with his foot, for about a day. By the next day he was up and on it so much that he pulled a stitch out. He was lucky that the Dr. said that it was going to heal fine on it's own. PHEW!!! Well, after that my boys found out that their step-mom went into early labor. She and the baby are doing fine. She's still pregnant, but on bed rest. That was a scary time for them. They are now just counting down the days until their baby sister gets here. That should be around the middle of July. My youngest son has a birthday coming up, he'll be 11( wow, where does the time go). I'll update more later.

My Personal Writing Process
Hello All,
My personal writing process consists of
1) research
2) making notations of information for later
3) brainstorming
4) free writing.
When I do my research, I like to mark the information that I would potentially use. Then I go over that information and create my own ideas by brainstorming. After I brainstorm I use the free writing technique to make sentences out of my ideas. After all of that I put my information in an order that I like and write my first draft. This is the easiest way for me to write. This way I can make sure that the information that I provide is correct. I hope this makes sense to you.

Plagiarism Stinks
Hello all,
I thought that I had better write about one of the things listed in the blog section of our week 4 page. I will talk about how plagiarism stinks. People don't realize sometimes that they are doing it. When this happens it's not meant to steal anyone's thunder. It is simply an accident and if they are told of this they can correct the situation. Then you have people who do this on purpose. These are the people who want to take credit for someone else's work so they don't have to work as hard themselves. It's not hard to cite something when we use it. We all need to be aware of where and who our sources are and always cite what you have written if you think that someone else has written it before you. "When in doubt, cite." It doesn't hurt to have a lot of them. Just make sure that you don't overindulge. Make sure your own ideas get in the writing as well. After all, that's what you're readers are looking for. If they wanted to read someone else's work, they would. That's all for today and I'll see you next week.

What a Rough Week
Hello All,
This is the beginning of unit 4 and I can't believe it. The time sure does go by fast. Well I would like to tell you that it has been a rough week. My 7 year old nephew was shot in the foot by either a b.b. gun or a pellet gun and he has to have surgery in the morning to take the b.b. or pellet out. A 12 year old boy who lives down the street from him is the guilty one. he has been trouble since day one.
My brother took his puppy (about 11 months old Australian Shepard) to the emergency pet hospital a few nights ago because he wasn't eating and he was vomiting a lot. He thought that someone had poisoned him. He found out the next day that the puppy hadn't been poisoned, but had some bones stuck in his large intestine that he had eaten. Now keep in mind this is a puppy. Puppies chew and eat everything. So, yesterday morning they took him in for surgery to remove the bones and found that he also had a lot of plastic in his stomach and intestines. They got all of the foreign objects out of his system and was sewing him up and he went into cardiac arrest and died.
So, not only had my nephew been shot in the foot but my niece who is 3 has just lost her puppy. This is the 2nd dog that they have lost this year. They got this one to replace the other. WOW, what a week. Now today is the last day of school for my 10 year old. He is excited to be able to stay up late and sleep in for the summer. Boy, I sure hope that nothing else bad happens to my family. Hopefully things will get better.
