~Last week of class~

So~ it's the last week of class and I feel good about my paper I am sure I won't get a 100% or anything but I am very proud of it. What advice would I give someone just starting a scientific paper, really listen to your professor , they know what they are talking about. When I first started Comp II I was not sure what a scientific paper was now I know and it's really good to know this for copy writing reasons. So I hope everyone stay's on course and have a great time in school .....lol

~Final Paper~

Sooo~ my final paper I feel accomplished and very tired. I am not completely done with it I have a couple more paragraphs to go through but I feel 110% better on this then I did my ruff draft. I was not proud per say about the paper I handed in , in unit 6 and I am not sure if others feel this way. This new completely over hauled paper I am writing I am hoping I get at least an A on because I put my all in this, all or nothing :)

My Blogg

Professor and classmates-I guess I would really like to keep going with my blog when I am done with this class , but I always feel to busy. I want to turn it into a short story blog, or have it follow my journey to pregnancy. I guess no matter what I do I will keep it and hope to stay on top of it.

~Review

I was reading over the review on my paper and I like what everyone has to say. I think this is the best way for review because it's more then just you looking at it. Some people may like to word this differently and it may work. I am great with constructive criticism and I work well with it.

I guess I had my moment when I was going over and revising here in unit 8, I really see what you professor and my class mates have been talking about, I feel like I will have a different paper on the same subject to hand in for my final.

Is there anything that you have found shocking or intriguing in the process or your research?

Professor and classmates-
With my research on PPD, I never really understood how many women and men end up with this. When I first got with my husband he came with 3 daughters, they did not live with us but we had them on the weekends. I became very jealous of them and when my husband gave them attention i would get jealous. I feel very ashamed now that I understand what was going on. I did do a little bit of research on this and they say it is a form of PPD but nothing that has gotten allot of research. I love my 3 step children and my husband I guess it just took time for me to fully understand I was 18 and jumping in with a 26 year old with 3 kids. But we have been together for 6 years now and very happy :)

~Postpartum Depression~& What I have been doing the last 6 weeks

When I was writing my essay, I really felt like I was doing something great. I never really thought about a man getting Postpartum Depression and I think we should have more interest in that and do more research.

What I have been doing for the last 6 weeks, I have been in counseling because I am going to start taking hormone shots to help me get pregnant. I have to show them I can handle it and if I have a multiple birth I will be okay with that. I am hoping nothing more then 2 or 3 , it's kinda a big deal because me and my husband our your and already starting because I am not able to get pregnant on my own. I have had 3 miscarriages and that was really ruff on our family so we are trying to be careful and make sure we are 100% ready :)

How is school influencing your life at or up to this point?

Going back to school was a major step for me. I am a step mother of 3 , a wife and I work 40+ hours a week. I had to make sure I was really committed to this whole heartily. I am so proud of my self every term so far because I am on the honor program and I have a very very good GPA. My advisor for school is wonderful she always emails me to make sure I am okay and congratulates me when I had the Deans List and the Presidents list, I think I might have been kind of lost with out her. So I love to school and after I am done getting my BS in Health Science I want to go back to school for nursing. I might make a career move out of being a student ;)

~ Bearded Dragon~

Wow I am excited I bought my husband a bearded dragon this past weekend. he has been asking for one for a few years now and I got it. He is treating it like his baby lol. They are allot of care but we are excited in this new journey. I never really understood how much work they are but wow they are just like a child they take allot of work.

~Plagiarism~

Well do I every have a story on plagiarism. So in a place I used to work at I was asked to set up a project based on giving back.

So I did and it was for soldiers in Afghanistan, well I wrote up the proposal and I had a assistant on the project with me and she tried to go behind my back to give it to my boss as her work. Needless to say she did not know I already brought it to my boss. She lost her job because of that.

It's huge the while length of the NC State Fair and it's allot of fun. Okay well that's all I have to add for today. :)

Circus !!!!!!

Okay so today my husband and I are taking our kids to the circus. Fun well I hope so, I am almost 25 years old and have never been to the circus. I am kinda excited to see what will be there. I was will post tomorrow on my adventure.

Was trying to find a good clean circus joke but not to many out there so.......

Here is my quote for the day !!!!!

The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.

The 3 R's

I am sitting here at work......this is going to become a trend lol seeing my post about me being at work. Anyway I have this saying posted on my wall and I read it every day and passed it out to everyone here at work. Let me know your thoughts .

Remember the 3 R's

Respect for yourself

Respect for others

Responsibility for all of your actions !!!!!!!

Earth Day !!!!

Happy Earth Day everyone , I hope today it just as beautiful where you are as it is in Raleigh NC. Here are some tips I wanted to share for earth day.

1: Reuse your water bottle. Avoid buying bottled water. In fact, reuse everything at least once, especially plastics

2: Turn off lights and electronics when you leave the room. Unplug your cell phone charger from the wall when not using it. Turn off energy strips and surge protectors when not in use (especially overnight).

3: Get off junk mail lists. GreenDimes can get you started. They’ll even plant a tree for you!

4: Bring your own bags to the grocery store. Given a choice between plastic and paper, opt for paper.

5: If you have a baby, consider using cloth diapers. To sign up for a diaper service to do the dirty work, check out the National Association of Diaper Services.

This is just 5 different options in everyday life.

Have a blessed day !!!!
