The End of a Semester

Well here we are at he end of a semester. What a journey! I have learned so much in the space of nine weeks. So many tools to take away from my com class. I was a pleasure receiving as well as giving ideas.  My paper was hard for me to take a position on but I think that I squeaked about a decent paper for all to read. I Can believe that writing it became such a chore for me. I had a hard time find reliable sources and when I did it was more statics than actual stories. I am pleased with my body of work, but I know that i could have done better.

How Far I 've Come

I started by not knowing what a blog was to blogging almost on a regular bases it seems. I find that it is a way of voicing you opinions, emotions and what ever else you may feel like saying for the class and the blogger world to see. It is sometimes liberating to know that you have a platform to speak your mind.

I have a hard time finding time to focus and all my classes but for some reason I find some time in my day or week to write a little something. I am not sure if I will continue to blog as my other courses will require extensive writing. But if I have the time I will be blogging away. I enjoyed this experience when it come to my classmates and their stories. It helps that I am not the only one going throug theses struggles alone.
I want to say to all that i had a blast, hope to see you all in the blogging world from time to time.

Inspiration Needed

Where can I get my inspiration from? Where oh where is it hiding? That is the question I ask myself. I can see that everyone has gotten some kind of feedback. I still am trying to find my way through this maze. I can only say that with a little nudge from anyone or somewhere, I can get this paper going. Right now I feel like I am just drifting trying to cling to land. I don't know about anyone else, but I think that I have bitten off more than I can chew. Too me that  is a hard pill to swallow.
 Maybe by some divine inspiration, it will all fall into place just in time to submit. I sometimes have what you call writers block. Maybe in the next few days it will all come to me.
Waiting............waiting.............still waiting........

My Mind is BLANK

I can't believe how this week has been. I have been running around like my hed has been cut off. This paper is giving me hell,the kids are driving me nuts and it is my birthday week. Wow, how am I suppose to get through all of this and plan my wedding. I have no help and I think that before long I am just going to drop all the plates. I feel like I am juggling to many things all at once. I haven't even finished my draft because of all the school things I have to do with my kids There is no end to my day.

I need a vacation.....anyone with ideas?
Only wishful thinking. I just need a break from all this stress.

Writing Techniques

I use to love to write when I was younger. I loved to write poetry and short stories. Over the years I don't get to write as I use to. Taking about the different types of techniques, I like to free write, bubble and brainstorm. Depending on to topic I may use one or all of them.

Plagiarism, How do I feel about it?

There is a fine line when you are writing. You must always be conscious of what you write and where you take your sources from. You may not think so but plagiarism happens every minute of every day. For example, when you take information like pictures or sayings from another persons page (facebook) with out the expressed permission of that person.
It is sometimes hard to know when to site a source or not. My motto is "If I didn't think of it, cite it." It is better  to air on the side of caution. Plagiarism is very serious.

Happy New Year All, This is my third time typing and I am getting fusstrated with this thing. Anyhow. I am at a lost for words. This week we are talking about anonymity. I have a hard time talking to people I can't see or hear. But some times you just have to go with the flow.
My topics have been giving me problems and I can't seem to find much information on Banning smking in public. I hope that I will beable to find more research.
