Hello everyone!! I can't believe we are in the last week already!! It has all passed by so fast to me!  I want to just say again that I have enjoyed this class and having such a wonderful professor and classmates!  Everyone I wish you all the best in your future goals and achievements and I know that you all will do well :-)  I have learned so much, I just hope I can keep all this new information stored in brain!!Lol  I  would also like to say that this blog has been very fun and a somewhat new experience for me.... I may even continue to write because it really helps to share your thoughts for the day and express yourself in a creative way!!  Thank you again professor, you have made this class a fun learning environment while helping us explore different writing techniques and ideas.  Also, it has been great to have such a great group of peers to learn with and from and it has been a joy to meet you all!! :-) Everyone good luck in your futures and have a blessed day! :-) Mitzi

Happy Valentines Day!!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day and enjoyed spending time with family and loved ones!! One week left to go, and I'm sure everyone did an excellent job with their papers!! I have learned so much throughout the course of this class and enjoyed getting to know you all :-)  APA format is now ingrained in my head!!lol :-) Anyway this term has been the hardest for me and I am just glad to still be in class getting closer to my degree! I can say I have learned from my experiences and I hope next term goes a little more smoothly for me! I guess that's just life and as problems arise you have to try to find a way around them!! I hope everyone has a blessed day and I will see you all in our last week of class!!! Mitzi

Live, Love, Learn....

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is well and doing good! I can't believe this semester has passed by so fast! Just a few more weeks left and we continue on our journey hear at Kaplan!! I am still working on my paper it has been on my mind constantly!! I will be glad to finish it because it will be a big accomplishment for me! I have always been nervous when it comes to writing research papers, but this class has taught me a lot that I will take with me into the future.  It seems like this term I have had many obstacles to overcome but having a good support system has really helped :-) Ohh I just wanted to add that my niece who is 14 months old really put a smile on my face today... I was on the phone with my sister and she said Heyyyyy Cat... it was really cute cause my sister just got a cat a few weeks ago and it was the first time she said the word cat!!:-) Anyway hope everyone has a great week and blessed day!!:-)  mitzi

Writer's Block....:-)

Hello again everyone and hope all are doing well! This is the week to turn in our post draft papers and I am having major writer's block! I keep going in circles it seems!! I think it will help for me to take a few moments of meditation and focus on relaxation to help get past it. Even though it is so hard to feel relaxed when my paper is not finished!!Lol :-) Anyway I want to say that it seems everyone has some great outlines for their papers and I know we will all do well! Also, I would like to thank professor Feraldi for her helpful feedback!!! Good luck to everyone and have a blessed day!:-) Mitzi

Hello Again!!!

This week I have been thinking about how school has touched my life and what influence it has had on me up to this point. I can truly say when I look back to before I started back to school, I didn't see myself coming this far and the impact it would have on me.  I feel as though I can accomplish anything I set out to do and I am excited about my future because I have something to look forward to! I am proud of all my classmates for their hard work and efforts as well.  I have met life long friends through Kaplan and I am proud to be a part of it! :-) Hope everyone has a blessed day!! Mitzi

Happy New Year to Everyone!!

Hello everyone!! I hope everyone had a great holiday break!! :-) I have been trying to get over the flu which I have had for the last week or so!! It is so not fun being sick but I feel much better now.  We were talking about plagiarism this week in class so I thought I would discuss that this week.  I know it is important to give credit to others when using their ideas because I know if it was my ideas being used I would want to get the credit for my work.  Plagiarism is a very serious thing but sometimes it can be confusing on how to correctly use in-text citations, but I have found the guide for APA format to be very helpful.  I hope everyone is having much success with their papers and a wonderful week!! See you all on the discussion boards :-)

Student Life...

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a blessed Christmas and are as excited as I am for the new year to come! Of course my New Year's resolution is to lose that extra weight!!( Still trying!Lol) Anyway, I wanted to talk about how it feels to be a college student and the progress that I have made!!! I really surprised myself with everything I have accomplished so far in school, especially since I thought I would never get this opportunity.  I am glad to have such wonderful classmates and professors, that is what has made this journey so special for me! I would like to take the time to congradulate everyone on all their accomplishments and thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement and uplifting spirits!! God Bless and see you all "next year" :-) Mitzi
