Good Luck

This is the final blog post.

Wow!

Crazy to think time has gone by this fast. Thinking back on how it all started and working towards the final paper, I think there are many improvements I could have made. I think I had a rough time with topic choice. At first I thought I knew where I was going and didn't do the research on my topic till later, and then I realized that it wasn't the topic for me after it was almost too late. That's a lesson learned. I had to scramble at the last second to find the right topic and resources to make my perfect final paper. So, my suggestion to everyone is start as early as possible. Week one doesn't even sound bad. Ha ha. I also think I can improve on my word choice. I don't think I am too boring or bad, but I would like to make it more formal than what I am doing right now. I just can never think of the right word at the moment I need too. Length requirements are always a challenge for me, but I don't know how I can fix that so I guess it will always be a struggle. Ha ha. Good luck to everyone in the future to come, and I have enjoyed class with you all!

The Finale

We are at the end! All in all, if I had to choose between feeling tired, accomplished, or nervous, I would say that I feel all three of them equally. I feel accomplished with my final paper. It is not completely done yet, but with what is done so far I believe I am on the right track. It is not good enough to be a published article, I know that, but I have come along way in the past year with my writing in a good way. After turning in any major paper you get jitters. Especially when it is a major part of your grade. So of course I am nervous. Tired is a given for anyone. Especially for most people in college that have a job and children to take care of along with schoolwork. It keeps you busy that is for sure! Ha Ha. I feel good though. I must share that my goal for my college experience was to keep an "A" in all my classes, and so far I am in my 4th nine weeks classes and I am still at my goal. Setting a goal this high really keeps me on my toes, and once you accomplish your goals it makes you feel like you can do almost anything. Goals are great motivation!
