Accomplished!!!
Wow....I have to laugh at myself because I almost forgot about my blog....Long weekend. And I hope everyone had a safe holiday. I am so excitied that it is the end of the term. It lets me know that I did the very best I could do and I am pround of myself. I goot allot out of this class and this experience was wonderful. I do have to thank my teacher because she answered all of my questions with no problem. I also want to thank all my fellow classmates and thanks for your opinions. Without it I would not have turned in a paper that I felt that makes me proud. This term was a little hard on me because I also had another class that I had to write a paper for and with both of them clashing was not fun at all.... I love it because it made me love writing again and I believe it made me a better writer. I wish everyone luck in the future and God Bless!!!

School Post 8
When it comes down to my blog, I haven't had any problems at all. I actually value any comments posted on my blog. I don't hold anything against anybody who has not commented on my blog, some people make time when they can. Maybe they only have time to post their blog and can't post on someone elses. I know I don't always have the time to post on someone's blog. I do sincerely apologize for that. It's hard to do that when you have more "important" things to focus on, I guess you can say that. I know I have school work, reading, projects, reports, wedding plans and all. Even though this blog is part of my school work, I guess as long as you make the effort to post your blog, all things will be forgiven if you can't post on someone elses own. I am still getting use to the blog, so I probably will still post every once in a while. Can't make any promises. To all my fellow classmates, we only have one more blog to post, I think, before this term is over with. I wish you guys and gals all the luck in the world. I hope to see y'all at graduation next year. I'm pretty sure it will be an exciting adventure for all of us.

Uuuggghhhh!!! So drained!!!
Sorry about my last post.... Was updating my post via SMS, but as you can tell that didn't work out. I will never try that again. lol. Just saw it and laughed at myself for it. Anyway. I am completely drained. It is hard doing school, planning a wedding, and our honeymoon. I am dealing with someone who can't make up his mind about where he wants to go. So to make things easy, I am planning for us to go to the beach and stay at a nice resort. Yeah he has one wonderful future wife. School for me is going great. Loving the peer review process, but it trips me out how some people take criticism lightly. I mean they get upset at just a comment. Or maybe it's how the comment is written. Gots to be more careful. Im glad Im the one who doesn't care about criticism. It's a free country and criticism is much needed. I don't have long to do this post cause like I said, planning planning planning.... Lord Im tired. Somebody come do this for me!!! LOL

Online schooling.....How complicated is it????
Some people think that online school is so easy and that people who take online classes are just taking the easy way out.... WRONG!!!! Online school is just like taking live classes with a professor talking to you face to face. There is nothing easy and I'm sure not trying to take the easy way out. What some people do not realize is that, for those who have difficult lives and are working non-stop have the option to take online classes that count for something. I have heard every bad thing imaginable about Kaplan. One person told me that it wasn't a real school and that the degrees are not real. But what is the difference between this school and all the other online schools that are out of state? I could have went to Virginia College, but they only have a certificate in Medical Assisting. I wanted to actually have a degree and say that I worked by butt off to earn it. I like it because it is just like having a teacher there when I need them. I have my fears that I will not be able to do it anymore, but I know that my future depends on it. So class mates, answer this..... Why did you choose this school and what are you hoping to get out of this experience?

Plagiarism..... Really???? Are you kidding???
This week for our blog we have to post something about plagiarism. I know people that have done it in high school, but you know I really didn't care. I guess long as it wasn't me and my grades that were getting into trouble, it really didn't faze me. What is the deal with plagiarism? Why do people do it? I remember my English teacher telling us, "Plagiarism is for the mind of people who are just plan lazy and probably didn't want to accomplish anything in their life!" See she was the type of English teacher that would call you out and shame you. So you were actually too scared to even look at another author's work. See the way I look at it is, encouraging words can give you encouraging thoughts and then you wouldn't have to "plagiarize". See in middle school, I was the type that would make up my own stories. Hey everyone did it, DON'T DENY IT!!! lol See when stories seemed so boring to me, I made up my own and my teacher loved reading them. I guess that's why we cite everything we do. I love to paraphrase. I don't do it ofter, but it is an enjoyment to actually take what another person wrote and change the words into my own. Seriously, like what would you do if someone took your work and used it as their own? I would probably blow a fuse, but with what the world is today all you have to do is bring a law suit against whomever stole your work. I think America has gotten to the point where that's all they can do now to actually get their point across.... "DON'T STEAL MY WORK!!!!" LOL. Like my nephew say, " Not nice, it's just not nice". Which he's 3 years old and even he knows better. But really why would you do it?

Topic of choice!!!
I wanted to actually do my project on autism. Maybe because it hits so close to home. My fiance has twin nephews that have autism and they have an older sister by another mother that has it to. I wanted to actually do like a English paper on it, but do it in a Psych form. Would I be wrong for doing that? Don't really know if his brother would be insulted by the situation. Kind of scared to ask.
As for being an online student, I enjoy it because it is more of my speed and it is more challenging. I like a challenge. I can't really say anything bad about being in the blog-o-sphere!! I am getting the hang of actually writing on this thing. I have to be careful about what I say, no telling who is actually reading this other than the students in my class and my teacher. I really think it is important to spread awareness about autism.

Unassurance
Well this is my first blog. I never really understood or got into blogging, but since this is for my class and for my fellow classmates to read then I can get with it. Well allot of things have been on my mind lately..... I am getting married April 16th of next year and have yet to get anything together. Luckly, my loving stepmother is use to planning weddings and I have all her help and support. I had alot of people ask me will I cry at my wedding, I really don't see why. I know it's an emotional time for everyone, cause who would have thought I would have found the love of my life. Little did I know, he was under my nose since I was in the 9th grade. I always had this big idea that if I haven't met anyone and married by time I turned 30, well then I wasn't looking anymore. Glad I'm just 24 years old. LOL....I would love to receive any feedback about going by getting the cake and invitations. Anything to do with marriage. Also would like some feedback on my blog. How did I do for my first time? Please be honest!!! :)
