I would just like to congratulate everyone who made it to the end of this class. I actually thought that comp 1 was harder than comp 2 except for the topic I chose to write my paper. I am not saying this class was easy I am just saying that if you learned everything you could in comp 1 that it made this class easier. In the past ten weeks I have defiantly strengthened my research and my revising skills. I could still use some improvement in my writing when it comes to punctuation like comas I missed a couple on my paper and yes I did run a spell check. If I could express my advice to new students I would tell them to do the research and read the articles then make a good outline. If you have a good outline that flows nice you will develop a good paper that flows. It is time to go I have enjoyed this class and I am looking forward to my upcoming classes.

This is the end of week nine for me and I feel great this has been a good term for me. I was nervous stating this term because in my first two terms I had gotten really good grades and I was nervous that I would mess up my good grades. I was also getting some much-needed dental work during this term so that really added to the pressure because I knew I was going to be down for most of a week since I was getting a top denture. Getting the teeth pulled was the easy part learning to wear the denture was the hard part. I was also taking my first math class here at Kaplan that was making me nervous but everything turned out a ok for me and I got threw it with not bumps. I am very pleased with my progress this term. I look forward to returning next year and continuing to push myself to get the grades.

Wow, here we are in week eight it is almost Christmas. I am finally starting to feel good about my final paper. I have made most of the changes our professor suggested and a few of my own. So I turned it in to the Kaplan writing center to find out what else I needed to look at before I turn it in. I was rather surprised they liked it for the most part and most of the changes they suggested were things I was considering doing any way. I really cannot complain about people not commenting on my blog because I have not done much commenting on theirs. I think that the blog was interesting in class I was able to write some interesting things on here that were going on in my life. I cannot say for sure that I will continue my blog I would much rather keep a private journal. I really do not feel comfortable venting on line for all to see. On the other hand, when some good things happen it would be nice to share that as well. I am so excited this year for Christmas it will probably be the last good one for the next year or two until I graduate from school. It is a calculated decision that I made to better my families future. Good luck to everyone with your final papers next week.
