Overwhelming is not the word!

I have to say that school is one of the most positive things besides my pregnancy happening in my life right now. But unlike my pregnancy, school has yet another term become "overwhelming". The closer to final projects we get the crazier I feel inside. I have no idea how half my Kaplan peers do it with children and jobs. Must be some pretty strong people. Do not really feel like writing about writing techniques or challenges. Have a good week!

Giving credit to who and where it is deserved...

Plagiarism is a very serious topic and offense, in my book anyway. I have actually been a victim of it and the feeling is not nice. I try my best when constructing research and taking notes not to step on anyone's toes. I believe that the person or persons' information and ideas that are being viewed upon should be paid with 100 percent recognition. We should use this information as a stepping stone instead of a way out of using our mind. We all know when something is not originally our own so why should we pretend to ourselves that it is? We are only limiting ourselves to a broader view and closed doors.

This past week..

This is one of the first times that I am blogging. I have always considered myself to be more of an antisocial so sharing my thoughts happened rarely. I actually feel a lot more social now that I have become an online student. I had attended college twice before actually making it this far at Kaplan.

Choosing a topic to write the final project was difficult. Everything that I was interested in writing about had little or no information to research upon. I pretty much just stuck with the outcomes of domestic violence. It was quite frustrating looking up topics to then create a thesis statement but it was done. LOL.

Hopefully I will become more comfortable with the whole blogging situation :)
