Birthday party

Hello class, I hope evryone had a nice weekend. I know I did. I went to a birthday this weekend  and got to see my family and freinds. I honestly did not want to go to take up time from my studying, but I went out of obligation. I had a nice time I didnt buy my freind anything because it was such short notice so I just gave him 20 dollars. Which isnt much, but he already know im broke. I stayed a short while had some cake and I left to go home and study. I wanted to stay longer but studying is way more inportant to me. It really dosent matter how much time I have though, because I can never get all of it done. The weekends need to be a little bit longer. If I had just one more day I would feel better. Or maybe one less class.

Doc 1 is finished.....for now

Hello class. Doc 1 is finished Hallelujah. Its ready to be submitted I'm so happy to get this paper off my head for a while. I can focus on my other classes like math and u guessed it, A/P. Which has taken over my life.Once doc 1 has been graded and returned back to me with a grade my the journey isn't over. I will then probably need to edit and revise. I want the best grade I can receive. This class inst like any other class I have seen. Usually once submitted that's it. he grades are in and no changes can be made , no exceptions. Not here this a LEARNING class, and that's what we do. By the end of doc 1 or doc 2 you will see the errors that was made and look back and see how much you have learned in English. I know I did in English 1. On my first doc 1 my group knew nothing about APA style citing credible sources none of that stuff. With some practice and and asking a lotttt of questions, I learned how to write document in APA style.Which is a real pain you know where.  If you don't know APA yet dont worry you will soon. And you can ask me in class.

Computer problems

Hello class, Im in the libary printing out some power point slides for my A/P class. I will be going home to study them soon. We just had our first test this week and it went well I guess. Its not just keping up in this class its staying ahead because it moves quick. I have so much work to do this has been by far my most hectic and busy semester yet. Alot of my work is done online and my computewr has been running so slow. Especialy for youtube clips.Which is what we view a lot of for our lessons posted by Mr. Hamon. Also my Proffesor Dr. Lockheart  in A/P uses the same idea. I just cleaned my computer and updated it so now it  should be running better. Im leaving the school to go over to a classmates house to work on some math. That will be my big adventure out tonight. I like hanging out and working with my classmates because we all have the same things in common. We all can relate to each other and help one another out. Thats all for now bye.

Its peer week for Doc1 !

Hello class, Its the begining of the third week of classe. For some of us that means exams. I have exams in all of my classes except in English. But even in English our doc 1 is due this week. First we will do a peer evaluation though before we send it in. I really like the peer evaluations. When I send my paper in whithout getting a few evaluations from other class mate my paper is sent back whit many errors. Thankfully the professor will count it as a draft and let us fix what ever needs to be edited. This class is a learning class, and thats what we do. You will not leave here at the end of the semester whitout learning a few things. For our doc1 the girls and I will need to work on our conclusion and get  a total of three APA refrences in our paper. Then whit a peer avaluation it will be ready to be submited.

Doc 1 in the making.

Hey class, hope everyone doing their papers. My group is working hard on making this paper a great one. Shout out to the girls Karmela and Bertide they got right to it. We need to move some things around and edit a ton Im sure, but the ground work is laid out. I want a strong to get a strong conclusion to persuade college professors that networking tools has proven to be useful whit in the classroom. Ya know what I really love about our classroom is the communication network. The other day Bertide added into our paper and she let us know on the side comment box. I checked it out ad let her know hey I like it,we also need a conclusion. I like working together, first of all its less stress then working alone. Also we have each others opinions and ideas. I like getting feed back on what I wrote, because I doubt myself all the time. So I know the girls aren't going to lie and say what ever i wrote was good if its not because their grades on the  line too!

The beginning of the semester

Hello Class, I hope everyone is getting the hang of blogging. Its easier if we have a specif topic to write on. Like our papers or our current discussions in class. I'm at home studying  A/P , and oh ya did I mention its a Friday night. Social life is ( none ).  I guess that's how it goes for a lot of us students.I have a pot of coffee on and a ton of reading to do. I hope I do well in this class this semester. I'm a little worried, its the beginning of the semester and its already so chaotic . There are moments where I think  I'm not going to make it , and I cant do it. But there only moments and they pass ,I shrug it off and keep going. Pray for me lol. There isn't enough hours in the day, and sleep is getting in the way of  my studying. Currently  I'm taking 5 classes, and A/P is one of them. That alone is like 5 classes rolled into one. My professor, Dr Lockheart  also sorta uses the flipped classroom method. She learned from Dr Hamon. We learn in lecture but she also post videos and homework up on the student portal. The videos are great because I can see exactly what she wants us to focus on. So I use them as a guideline on what to read up on. I have so much homework to do, and I will do it because I want the points, but also it really does helps me learn. I cant answer a problem without knowing the material right, so that lets me know where my weak points are. As of now I have a lot of weak points. We are in the first 4 chapters and its a lot of biology, which I hate. Still dosent matter Its got to be learned well to understand anatomy and physiology. I must say I missed blogging a little bit. It reminds me of my last semester, which was a great one probably my favorite so far I hope its another good one. Im going to drink my coffee and get back to studying Biology/ See you all in class on Monday. Have a good weekend.

Blogging again

Im happy to be in this class again. I learned so many important things in Eng 1. I hope to learn better communicating skills in my writing, along with my APA style. The APA is important in a lot of classes. The program Im trying to get into is the OTA program. The OTA program specificaly requires this class. Because in ENG 3 we focuse on these skills. I was signed up for ENG 2 with proffesor Maybee. But then I talked to The Director of the  OTA ,program and he told me that ENG2 was not requierd, but instead to take ENG 3. They have worked with Mr. Hamon and prefer the students to know APA style writing.
