The End!

So finally Comp II is at an end! I am really happy that I have finished yet another term here at Kaplan. I am just that much closer to graduation! I am very excited. I think I did a fairly good job in this class. There is always room for improvement, but I am happy with my end results. I think advice for anyone would be to do your best and to apply yourself in every assignment and project. Don't do things without all your effort, or you might not do as well as you can. Put your mind to anything and you can accomplish whatever you want. :) I think I got better at writing in general, and I know there is still some I need to work on, such as maybe not repeating so much in a paper, and getting over writers block. Simple things that with a lot of studying can be fixed.

I wish everyone the best in there educational journey. I hope everyone stays on track and finishes what they have set out to do. Don't give up! Even when times are hard. Good luck to all!

The finish line is close........

Wow, Unit 9 here we are! Pretty amazing. :) I cannot wait to submit my paper. I think I just might need to go to a library or something to finish it. I have way too many distractions here at my apartment. It helps me to think and stay focused more when I am in a different setting, and not as comfy as lying on my bed or couch. I wish it wasn't this way, but I just am so easily entertained by what is going on around me. :( I already finished my Anatomy paper, and that wasn't as bad as I thought. I was actually wondering what would happen if I failed a term! Ridiculous, I know. :) I am very excited for the two week break after we finish this term. I think it'll be very nice not to worry about any school and wether I'll be home for Seminar or not. I get ten days off of work for July 4'th, but I think classes would have started up again by then... Oh well! More time to stay focused I suppose. And lots and lots of time to spend at the pool. :)

Unit 8

So we are almost done with this class. So close! I am about halfway done with my paper. I am still working on my paper for my Anatomy class also. I really do not enjoy writing two papers at a time, but you got to do what you got to do I guess. I am so tired right now, and all I want to do is sleep. But, I find it very difficult to rest when I have so many things in the back of my mind that I know I have to do. I am a really huge procrastinator at times! But at least I do get things done on time, so I guess it does not harm me in too many ways! Just a little bit stressful. :)

I have allergies pretty bad right now, and I have had them the last month or so. Actually, my doctor isn't even sure if these are allergies or if I'm sick. It's reallly frustrating. I just want to feel like myself again.....

It's my day off today so I have the entire day to work on my papers, do my laundry, and squeeze in my workout. I am hoping to possibly see my boy too. Who knows. I hope all my classmates are as excited as I am to complete the next two units!

June

I can't believe that it is finally June! It is my birthday month! :) I will be twenty in exactly three weeks. I guess it is not all that exciting... I mean what is there to do at twenty that is different than nineteen?! Yeah, nothing. :) I guess I can say I am not a teenager anymore, ha. I can also look forward to that on my next birthday I should be graduating from Kaplan. Now THAT is exciting! :)

I will be the first in my intermediate family to get a degree in anything. I am pretty proud of that. Even though it is an online course, I still will be proud of myself for putting in my time and effort into all of this. Don't get me wrong, I know that not everyone needs a degree to make good money. My parents both do very well. But for me it's not all about how much money I will be making, because I know I'm going to have to start from the bottom anyway. Medical Transcribers don't exactly make bank right away. ;) But just knowing that I have accomplished all of this will make me happy. I was homeschooled growing up, and I honestly never really had that much schooling because my dad was a single parent and was always working. So, he didn't have that much time to teach me and my brother. But, out of the schooling that I did have I always did well. Basically all I have ever taken was math and english. Never any science, history, language, etc. I got my GED when i was seventeen. Nevertheless, I am doing great here at Kaplan, and just knowing that I can do this inspires me to encourage other people who think they can't succeed in school. I know a lot of people who are in college or high school who struggle a lot, and from my observation, it's what you put into it and how badly you want something that will help you to accomplish what you set out to do.

So, basically all I have to say this week is to not give up on whatever it is your heart and mind are after. :) You might fall down fifty or a hundred times, but you can always get back up again.
