Well, the term is pretty much over with, just need to get this paper done. This has been a really hard class and paper for me, just because of my "love" of writing, or should I say lack of love of writing? My feelings on writing haven't changed, I still don't enjoy it so much, but I know that it's a necessary evil. I also realize that I will need to write several more papers in the coming months. I don't think it will be that difficult for me, as long as I can get started on it right away instead of putting things off. I must admit, that doing the research isn't half bad, it just depends on the topic. Anyways, I hope everyone does great on their papers, and I hope to see some of you in future classes. If you want to stay in touch, I'm on facebook and we can keep in contact via our school emails! Once again, good luck to everyone!!!

Hey everybody! This blog hasn't been bad but honestly, I'm not so sure I will keep up with it once this class is over with. I don't mind doing this blog but I only signed up for it because of the class and I really don't post anything on it except for when we need to do it for class. Maybe once we are done with the term and the new one starts, I'll see where I am with everything in my life. I may need this blog as a release for stress or just to babble! I'm not really sure, between school, work, and trying to plan a wedding, I just may want to babble on here to get it all out! Anyways, it's been a fun ride, but for now it's time to get off!! Talk to you all later!!

It's week 7 of this class and we are almost done. I'm not really sure how I feel about the class, I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite (no offense Prof. Hall). I just can't get into the writing of a research paper, I would rather write like this, no topic really just rambling on. With the research paper, first you need to do the research, then read everything, jot down notes, then construct the paper. It's just too many steps, too much time involved and it's really not fun for me. Plus writing a research paper isn't really going to help me in my future career. I mean if I have to write a research paper once I find a job, I think I'll cry. It's just that simple. I think the professor is good, but I just can't get into a research paper, I had this same issue in comp 1 as well, although an informative paper is much easier than an argumentative paper. Anyways, I will keep working on the paper and I will try my hardest to enjoy myself with it. Hope your all having a fun time with your papers!!

Not liking my life these days

Okay, here it goes! This past semester for me has been really hard and it's this class in particular that is giving me the most headaches. I'm not sure why I can't just sit down and get this paper done, but whenever I try to work on it, my mind goes blank, I can never seem to remember what I just read in my research, and I get frustrated and mad with myself over it!!! I didn't really have this issue in Comp 1, I mean I never really liked to write papers but I did okay with it in that class, my professor even said it was a good paper. I guess because the timing of this class with whats gone on in my personal life, hasn't made it easier for me. I just got engaged in February and since then I just want to spend my time with my fiancee and my future stepson. It's been really hard to get motivated for a class that I'm not very fond of on principle, meaning I don't really like to write ever, so I guess that's the issue for me. I'm getting the work done, but It's taking me twice as long. The writer's block is not great either, but that is starting to fade for me, I'm just going to have to lock myself up in the office, and plug away at it!! It also hasn't helped being sick off and on this semester either!!
