Week 10

These two classes for me have now successfully ended. It is time to take a week off only to get started at it again. I have enjoyed classes, the professor, and classmates. The holiday was wonderful and now I am looking forward to Christmas and New Years Eve. I always say Christmas is for the kids and New Years Eve, for the adults. LOL It was amazing last year to sit outside by a pool bringing in the New Year. Florida is now home for me. If I was in Chicago I would be racing, slipping and sliding on ice, to make it to some heat. I never would have thought that I would be living so far from my original home to a whole new territory and scene. Yesterday, I saw three deer in my yard. I went in the house and found a baby frog on my door. All in one day. The day after Thanksgiving. It's growing on me daily living in Orlando. It's just different. However, it's peaceful. Everyone, goodbye and good luck. Thanks for the feedback and growth.

ARE WE THERE YET

I feel like the saying from the movie Are We There Yet? I love to read and write but using an APA format, citations, in-text citations, paraphrasing, paramedic methods, they can all be a bit much to do at one time. I do understand the importance of it all but I am sooooo glad to have finally completed and submitted this final paper. Learning the APA format is not too hard. 12 point, Times New Roman, double space, 1 inch margins, that's simple. But those citations, references, and paraphrasing is a challenge at times. I liked this class a lot. I enjoyed the structure of the seminars and the feedback from all involved. I learned something I will be able to carry with me for the rest of my life. I have highschool children and they haven't come to me about an APA format yet. However, when they do, I am ready. They just better refer to a teacher and tutor for all math questions.

WEEK 8 ENDING WEEK 9 BEGINNING

Have you ever felt as if once you overcame one obstacle, another was laying in wait? Oh the joys, thrills, and roller coaster effects of life. Yes, it's like a ride and I am not ready to get off. LOL I am really looking forward to the holidays. Just a little peace, relaxation, and tranquility. This term in school is about to end. I can't believe that it went by so fast. I had titled this blog Using Time Management. I was horrible at multi-tasking before. The truth is that it wasn't even about multi-tasking, it was more about being a procrastinator. Next term will be exciting because I have no clue about anatomy and physiology. I look forward to learning more about it. As the terms go by, I know the more challenging the courses will become. I hate math and have been putting it off for the longest. I will have no choice but to face it soon. It's Monday night and I need to post to my discussion for this week. Since I had not yet attended seminar, I decided to wait. The more I post, the more I see procrastination here. However, it's not tuesday and it's not 11:59 p.m. That is one of the reasons I love online. I know a week in advance what needs to be done and I have a week to do it. It's amazing how far technology has come. I never would have thought that earning a degree online was possible. Technology, just like everything else, sometimes causes concern for me. Just imagine if America had a black out and electricity would not be up and running again for two weeks. Many would suffer. I need to take a look at survival tactics. Oh well, I know I seem to be rumbling but that's the benefit of posting a blog. I can do that if only for right now.

ALMOST THERE WITH TEN MINUTES TO SPARE

WHEW, is how I feel right now. I thought I was not going to make it. But, I am here. This week has been fast and hectic. Things popping up with the kids, having to stay late at work unexpectedly. I made it though. This weekend flew by as well. I looked up and it was Monday again, back to the grind. I need a vacation. I just need to take a break from it all. "UH, OH," I just quickly told myself "DON'T DO IT!" This is when I feel overwhelmed like I have my hands full. I know it's going to be alright though. Enough of the procrastination already for me. I had ten minutes to spare, but I am there. I am here posting this blog and making sure all work is submitted. It's 11:56, I barely made the deadline. I am however, about to make a beeline to the bed. I'm sleepy.
