Unit 10

I really had fun in this class. I feel like my paper writing skills have improved tremendously. That is definitely a skill I can use for the rest of my time here at Kaplan and also for my future endeavors as a nutritionist. I'm sure I will be needing to write articles about certain topics. Having confidence in my writing skills will be very important and I plan to use everything I learned in this class. Well, since this is my last blog in this class, I guess I will bidding farewell to all of you. It's been a pleasure getting to know everyone and I wish you all the best of luck with everything you do!

Unit 9

Whenever I finish the ever so long and tiring process of writing a paper I always feel like I am ready to collapse to the floor. Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. But I do feel worn out because I try to put my all into it. The paper may not win awards of excellence, but I know I have done my best. I also feel like I have accomplished something great. Every time I write a paper I feel like I have learned something new that I can apply to my next paper. With this particular paper I have learned so many new things that I can apply to my next papers. I think it's a love/hate relationship with me and writing a paper. I really like to learn what I am learning, but it feels like an uphill battle putting the paper together sometimes. I do believe, however, if you don't push yourself, you will not get very far.

Unit 8

Do you plan to continue your blog even after the course?
I think a blog is great idea for anyone who has the time to nurture it. Keeping family and friends updated with photos and your thoughts and experiences is a great, fun thing. This, however, is just not for me right now at this point in my life. I am so focused on getting through school, keeping my job, and spending time with loved ones that a blog just doesn't fit in right now. The last thing I want to do after I have been on the computer all day at work, and all night and weekend with school is be on it even more. When I actually have time to breath, then I would love to nurture a blog.

Unit 7

Ok, so I have to be honest and say I don't feel like writing anything on the posted topics this week. In fact, I am just so burnt out right now, all I really want to be doing is laying on the couch with my cats, watching the tube. Only 3 more weeks, well, more like 2...... and a half....until school break. When I first started back at school I was so gung ho, had so much energy. I still have energy at the beginning of the terms, but am definitely starting to feel burnt out a little bit earlier each term. I guess that's just school. Balancing work and school is tough. I can't imagine balancing school and kids like I know many people do. I bow down to those who do because that is really something. Well, I am signing off for the evening as I have a date with a couch, a t.v., 2 cats, and a husband. Good night!
