Happy Thanksgiving!

First off, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope everyone enjoys stuffing their face today! I am not sure if we are suppose to do a blog today but hey I'd rather be safe than sorry. Anyways, I am so glad I finished my draft! Such a huge relief. Although I know there are major grammatical errors, I still have time to fix them. I only reached 5 pages which is weird for me because I usually go past the required page length. I realized that I still need to add some paragraphs in and everything so I should have it a little longer before the final draft is due. I am not sure if I did everything correctly though, I pretty much used my own beliefs and knowledge about the topic and found facts to support me. I am not to familiar with research papers, so I hope I did it right! Well, I cant think of anything else to write because I am soooo hungry and can not wait for dinner! ENJOY!!! :)

Lack of Research

Okay, so I've missed 3 blogs so I must say that I am extremely grateful that Ms.Marshall is letting this one count as a replacement for any missed ones! Now I've only missed 2 and so I will have a 100% as long as I don't miss any more! (: Anyway, so I finished my rough drraft yesterday and I didn't realize the lack of research that i had in my RESEARCH PAPER. I thought that I did a good job before we did the in class exercise that showed me how much more opinion than I had of facts. I'm not that worried though, because I'm looking forward to the student confrences  were I am able to sit with Ms.Marshall and ask her questions and find out how I can better my paper to 'A' material. I also plan on visiting the writing center atleast three times before I turn in my final. I really really really want an 'A' on this paper so I can get a 'A' in this class...and I'm going to do everything that I have to do to get it! (: Happy Thanksgiving girls !

Turk-kayyyyy

I am so excited for Thanksgiving Break! I have a feeling of relief now that my rough draft is done :) I worked very hard on the rough draft in the hopes that I can get good, helpful feedback so that my final research paper can be that much better. But I am feeling very confident on my paper. Thank you Mrs. Marshall for allowing us to submit an extra blog that can be credited towards a missed blog! I am pretty sure that I am now even in my minimum number of required blogs. Which makes me feel a lot better about my grade in the class! It seems like everything is starting to fall in to place! i regret that I can not have Mrs. Marshall again next semester. I will be going to UGA next semester. I hope I have a good proffesor! Happy Thanksgiving!

Progress Finally!

My research paper is finally starting to come together. I'm struggling with the introduction, but I took Ms. Marshall's advice and started on the body paragraphs first.... although that strategy failed before. I finally have something written, so I'm pretty happy about that! I feel like writing so many creative papers for this class left me in the creative mind set, so now I'm struggling with the wording for my research paper. I'm sure after I have people read it and give me feedback the paper will be good. I feel like its slowly coming together, but I know I'm going to have trouble with the papers length. I have written one research paper that long and it did not receive a good grade at all. After a certain length I start getting lazy with my writing and the ending becomes weak and completely off the topic!!! ugh. Hopefully this one wont have the same result! lol

Slipping up

Ugh! I missed the blog two weeks in a row. What is up with me? If I dont miss anymore then I can still get a 100% so it is all good! I have been so stressed out lately. Research papers are not my thing and I have two due on the same day about two totally different topics. For the KSU one I am not as nervous because I doubt my professor will be grading harshly on grammar. I am nervous for the research paper in this class because my grammar has not improved at all! I really want to have improvement and this is my last chance to do so. Mrs.Marshall also informed me that my teacher for english 1102 is a grammar natzi! Makes me nervous but it also gives me a chance to grow as a writter I am also horrible at finding usable sources. So we will see how this goes! Hopefully I do great on both of them. I really want to end the semester with a BANG! I am going to miss this class though! We have all gotten so close..

GGGAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Why do I always forget to do these!!???? I was sitting here working on a research paper that is due for another class and suddenly thought about this. I just have so much going on! I can never remember this thing! So now that I am thinking about it, I am going to write this weeks blog four days early.
I am excited for this final research paper. I have already made a lot of progress on it. Hopefully I will get a good enough grade on this research paper to counteract all of this missed blogs I have had lol. I have to admit I am a little worried about my grade in this class. I know I am not failing or anything like that. But I pretty much have an "A" in all of my other classes. I do not want this class to be the only "A" I do not get because I can't seem remember to write a few paragraphs on the computer. I guess we will see.

Procrastinating once again....

This research paper is worth a lot of our overall grade...and I'm already procrastinating! I've waited till the last minute to do the topic question, thesis and annotated bibliography! I need to get my act together for this last paper and make a lot of time for it!! because it is my last hope for an A in this class! I'm really glad that our last paper is a research paper, because I tend to write better when I have facts to talk about rather then creative writing. I've just read the class announcement that we will work on our papers the whole class time next Tuesday. I'm pretty excited about that, because when I get home I tend to slack more and wait till the last min. Hopefully I'll do good on this paper! I need an A badly!

I've Run Out Of Titles....

So last week I forgot to write my blog, and because that was my 2nd one I refust to miss anymore & have my grade dropped so I'm writing this one early. In my last post I talked about how much I hate writing research papers, however now that I have picked my topic and have some ideas about how this paper is going to go, I am feeling a bit more excited! I have decided to talk about the transition from high school to college. Since this is something that I am still in the process of experiencing I though that it would be a great topic. I am looking forward to learning things as I write this paper as well; I am a huge fan of statistics! I like being able to share facts and information about topics when I am have conversations with people. It makes me look smarter. lol. Anyway, with this new found push of motivation I am about to look up some information. I dont want to wait until the last minute to write this paper, because I really want an 'A' in this class and I'm going to do everything that I have to do to earn it! Hope everyone has a great weekend! (:

Can I get a "Woot woot"?!!

The semester is almost over! YAY! I'm so excited. I can not wait for Christmas and all that good stuff. But the pressure of finals is so overbearing. I am stressing out about this paper so much. Normally I start papers last minute, even research papers. This paper is different. I am starting ahead of time and hopefully my extra effort will pay off. I am passionate about the subject I am writing about and trying to keep my voice and opinion out of my paper has proven to be difficult. It is important that I get a good grade on this paper because of our recent project. I think that we did really well and if we had read the topic a little bit more closely we would have gotten a good grade. But oh well. I can't wait to finish this paper and finish this semester! I had a lot of fun in this class though. "The only constant is change."

"Please don't eat me, I'm just a turkey!"

Can I just tell you guys how excited I am to start this research paper! I love learning!! I am looking forward to writing this paper sooo much! I was kinda sad about our grade that we received on the presentation, but I think we misinterepted the assignment, which is very easy to do when you get over excited about something. That was our flaw- caring TOO much. Nothing we can do about it now though, just do even better on this final paper! It's so sad to think that we are working on our final paper... it seems like just yesterday this class started and we had no idea who each other were. Now, we're all close friends and I hope that doesn't change! I was worried that the previous project would cause some conflicts between each other and break up our friendships because we're all so hard-headed, but I'm sure glad it didn't! I'm so glad it's November though, because it's Thanksgiving time! I will never forget this poem I had to write in fourth grade, it was a persuasive poem from the turkey's point of view of why it shouldn't be eaten. My mom basically wrote the poem for me, but I was sooo proud of it. It was the only project she has EVER helped me with, even to this day. I can almost repeat it perfectly. I have it framed in my bedroom at my mom's house. It is amazing how a peice of literature can have that much of an effect on someone. ANYWAY, I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

~SLACKER~

This part of the semester is the most important. There are only few grades left to increase your grade or keep and A. But for me I am having trouble, because I get lazier and lazier as the semester is almost over! It's crazy, I know! I've even been slacking on the blogs which is crazier because it's an easy A as long as you do it! I just have a hard time remember all the due thats lately. Not only in English but in my other classes as well. This research paper is my only hope for an A in this class!... I'm going to have a lot of people help me on this paper. I'M DETERMINED TO GET THAT A FOR SURE! I'm having a hard time narrowing nursing down as of right now. I am probably going to research nursing in different countries compared to United States. Ya'll feel free to help me out! :)
