My final thoughts

Hello Everyone,

 This has been a wonderful and eventful 10weeks with all of you. When I first started class I did not know what to expect and writing is not one of my strongest points, so I was very nervous! At the end of these 10 weeks I feel more confident in myself to be able to write a paper or a simple email. I would like to thank everyone for all the great feedback and encouragement. I hope you all gained more confidence within your writing skills also. I wish you all the best of luck and hope to maybe be a fellow classmate or student once again. Thank you!

Feelings......

To be honest I feel all of the above right now. I am nervous about my final paper and what my final grade will be on it(I hope it is great). I feel very accomplished now that my final paper is done and we only have a week left of class. I am so tired on top of all of those other feelings! I have been staying up even longer at night putting the last touches on my paper while my kids are asleep and to top it off I caught a virus so I have been trying to battle that. My biggest feeling at this time right now though is a feeling of relief! I am relieved that I made it through the past ten weeks, that I finished my final paper and feel good about it, and that this class has taught me life long writing skills that I will utilize within my profession.

Continue to Blog????

To be honest with all of you I do not know if I will continue to blog. I mean I do have a lot of fun with it, because it is like a journal I can type all my thoughts out. My only concern with saying yes I for sure is that I ten to get consume with other things, such as classes and forget to come back. I will tell myself "tomorrow Mariah we are going to blog", and guess what I get busy doing something else and I forget.
I will say that I will "try" to make it a habit to blog at least once a month lol! If anything maybe I can blog about a question I might have and see if I can get any useful feedback.

Within my research

Hello Everyone,
To be honest with I have found all of my research shocking. It just amazes me how many children these days are diagnosed with anxiety disorders. I could not imagine how it would feel to be a child and have an anxiety disorder that separates you from the rest of the children you see as normal. I mean it is hard enough growing up regularly and fitting in with others. Not only for the children but how about the parents. If it was one of my children who was diagnosed with any of the anxiety disorders I would lost and useless. That's when a parent starts to blame themselves; thinking that something they did caused this.

My last 6 weeks

Hello Everyone!
The last 6 weeks of my life have been nothing but craziness! As do most of you guys I work full-time, I am a single mother of 2, and of course go to school. So on the normal my life and schedule are pretty full, but it seems the last 6 weeks have been the fullest. I just got a new boss at work and on top of training him how to do his job, I've been trying to do mine. Have you ever had to train your own boss? It is kind of weird! Anyways, on top of work I feel like they have given me two hard classes at the same time, and at the worst time of year. I have been trying to balance my school work and class around helping my daughters with their homework. Oh and lets not forget the fact that Montana's weather is SO cruddy that it keeps interfering with my Internet service, so I am almost bald. LOL!

On a lighter note, no matter what comes at me in life I suck it up and get through it, because I know one day things will slow down. Maybe just a little but hopefully enough to where I can enjoy it!

How is school influencing my life at this time?

So I'm a little frustrated! I posted yesterday and I came into my blog today and low and behold it is not there! I have been having Internet disconnection problems, has anyone ever had this happen to them? Well I am going to post it again. Thank god for being able to save our documents on our computers...lol!(copy paste)

I love school I really do! It is influencing me in a good way and in a bad way. It has made me better within my professional career at this time. I have a better knowledge and understanding of my career field within the medical field. Our comp class has made me more aware of my professional writing skills and how important it is. The only bad way that it is influencing me is it has made me develop a lack of sleep! I have begun to realize that sleep is not an option; I have learned that i can sleep when I die. I need my education and professional career.

What would I do?????

I started to debate the thought of what would I do if someone used something I created without giving me credit, and I don't know. I mean I would be very very upset and at a lost for words, because what kind of a person would take my words and use them as their own. Then I started really thinking, and how could I even prove that I created that? People who write books and are published can obviously prove to others if some one has plagiarised them at a later date, but what if my words or something I created wasn't publicly known?
What I do know is that I would do what ever I had to do to prove that it was me who originally said those words or created that. If that did not work then obviously I am back to ground zero, and it wasn't meant for me to get the credit.
