Last blog

I was not looking forward to this class at all. I have always hated reading and have not been a fain of writing so you could say I was dreading this class. It turned out to be not at bad at I was expecting. The readings were annoying and I wouldn't say I was excited about any projects but I made it though. We are finally done with this class and I have made it out with a good grade... better than I was expecting. This was my first time blogging and I was not excited about it but it has been a nice way to express some stuff. I dont think I will be doing a blog anyother time soon but who knows... maybe sometime eventually. 

Tuesday Post

I hate being sick. I am only at school for two more weeks and I'm sick. Seriously I am going crazy! I need to study and finish everything up but no all I want to do is sleep. I was feeling perfectly fine about studying and taking exams and finishing everything up but now I am starting to freak out. I have an exam tonight that I am still trying to study for. I have an exam tomorrow that was postponed from Monday so I have to finish studying for that tomorrow. This project is due Thursday. I am almost done but still there is just a lot of little work and my brain is not functioning right now. On top of all of that its one of my best friend's birthdays and I don't want to be a party pooper for it but I am way too sick to go out with her.

almost done

I am running out of ideas of things to write about. Today is going to just be a random thought blog post. I am going to the mall tonight, I hope I do not spend too much money. Twenty- nine days until my surgery. That is pretty nerve wracking. I am starting to get stressed about the surgery and recovery and what I will be able to do next year. The one good thing is I am kind of overlooking the stress of the end of the year. I am so happy that we are getting out of this class so early the last couple days! It makes me sooo happy! I can't wait to be done with this semester. Hopefully I will be able to keep up these grades next semester.

countdown

Today is Thursday and I am going home tomorrow! I am so excited to go home! I have not been home since spring break but I was only actually home for a couple days. My birthday was last weekend and I have not seen any of my family to celebrate my birthday. We are getting together with family to celebrate my birthday and my little cousin's. I have plans to see my friend that I have not seen since Christmas and I am so exited to see him! I have missed him and my family so much I dont even know what to do with myself out here anymore. All I can do is look forward to going home tomorrow and then the count down until the end of the year starts. When we come back from Easter weekend we have two weeks of classes and one week of exams.

suggestions

My paper is based on the analysis of the Curious George the book and the movie. While writing my paper I had a tendency to describe the things George did as “curious.” Although this is fitting, it became too repetitive. The people peer editing my paper pointed out where my words were repeating and also looked up some suggestions for other similar words. This is very helpful to me because I have a bad habit of using the same words in all my works. I have found a better way to phrase most of the points about George in my paper so far so that it doesn’t come off as repetitive.
