Last and Final Goodbye For now!

Hello Everyone
I would like to address the question.
There is a lot I have not only learned but also perfected. Going in to this class I wasn't very comfortable with APA style. Throughout the weeks, with the help of my professor as well as the practice and handout given to us I was able to grasp the concept of the APA style. Another thing I feel I gained strength in throughout these past 10 weeks as the ability to organize and try to write a proper thesis/ paper. Prior to this course I was skeptical about writing a thesis. However, now I feel comfortable with the idea of writing it, and more so for it to be right.
I am very thankful to my professor for sticking by me and helping me with what I needed.
It has been a pleasure meeting all of my classmates and wishing everyone my best in their future courses.
That is all
Till next time

Final Thoughts on this Paper!!

Finishing this paper I feel like theres a huge weight lifted off of me. Not that I didn't enjoy writing the paper, because I did - I learned a lot from writing this paper. It's just the whole process of it all was a little too much. Again, not that I didn't love reading up, finding articles, researching. However, writing it all was exhausting. The Introduction the thesis, the main body, the conclusion and making it all fit together perfectly and make it organized for someone to be able to read it clearly was hard. I think that my paper is well written. I worked hard on it and I hope that my grade reflects it. I enjoyed writing it, I learned a lot and I feel like all the work and all the writing and the research worked out well in the end.
Thats all for now
Until next time

Continue to Blog or Not- continuing to blog? Thats the question!

So I have been thinking about this a lot throughout the past week, thats why it took me so long to post. Should I continue or shouldn't I. I mean it should be a simple answer right - except I am not too sure. I mean I love typing about what I do and answering the question however, and this is a big however - I have tones and tones of stuff that I do every day - super busy girl - so this just seems like another thing I have to do when I get home from a long day.
So my final answer to this question is simply this. I would like to continue with the blog - continue to update current interesting events when they come - and I think that the good thing about when the course is done is that I will have no worries about getting in a blog within a week to get the mark lol! It would be on my own free time.

I think I can make it work
I would love to make it work

Thats all for now
Have a great week everyone
TIl Next time

Review on Peer Reviews

Peer reviews are bitter sweat I have to say.
In one way you want feedback to help you make your paper better more efficient and easier for the readers to actually read. But at the same time, you've worked so hard on the paper you may think its fine but when someone gives you feedback it puts it all into perspective that it may or may not need help.
I like peer reviews both giving the feedback and receiving. I feel that if someone reads my essay or paper and they have a problem with it say they find it hard to read because it isnt all organized, or there are some spelling mistakes I for one would like to know this problem so that I can correct it make it better and hopefully when I hand it in for grading I didn't make the same mistakes from the rough and I get a good grade!
Thats all for now
Have a great week everyone

Throughout these past 6 weeks !

Everyone always has a lot to deal with in there life. For me throughout these past 6 weeks I've been in Greece. I left July 23rd and came back the first of September.
While vacationing in Greece, every week I found time to do my(this) course. It was hard to manage it all - especially since I was on vacation. I figured it all out and in the end everything worked out well. Now that I am back, and as I am so glad to be back in Canada and in my own lovely comfy bed and everything in order also beats trying to search for internet in Europe, a part of me misses it all and wishes I was on the beach. I guess it is back to reality.
Until Next time.

Schooling being an influence on mu life right now!

School at this point has a major impact on my life. It influences everything I do and helps me try to succeed in mapping out my future. I feel that school should have a major influence in any point in ones life. Especially if they are attending school. Currently I am trying to pursue a future in pharmacy. Im in school in Canada as well as taking these courses at Kaplan.
School has always been very important to me whenever I do any school work I put 110% into it because I know that one day down the line it will matter. It is important to me because I find that all in all everything you do in School will someday affect your future.
Thats all for now
Have a great week
Greetings STILL from Greece
Until next time

Thoughts on Plagiarism

Based upon the reading on plagiarism I believe that we all need to cite and furthermore if we do not know, learn how to cite our sources correctly.
Anything that you use from an outside source must be cited. It's just a whole lot easier I find if we abide by the rules of writing and moreover any offenses that may occur if we do not follow them.
I can understand how writing a paper is hard work, it takes time and a lot of effort and sometimes to be honest once you inih writing your so happy it's done you forget about citing and may possibly get in trouble for plagiarism. If you have your citing, your paraphrasing and summarization for the paper done possibly before for a rough copy it is easier to remember because you already have it writen down. It's easier an Les of a hassal to worry about, especially for the writer.
That's all for now
until next time
