Unit3

Today is Moday and my favorite show has come to its season finale. I hate when this happens because the week that the show doesn't air I feel thrown off. I've got to find a new show but that tough because on television there seems to be nothing but reality shows. I like shows with a story that's continuious. I'm not a fan of watching other peoples drama. My kids love it. I don't understand what they find so entertaining about those MTV shows. Personally, I find myself shocked by the material in the shows.

Unit2

This post is a little bit random. The other night I was watching a documentry on HBO about spoken word, youth, and hiphop. First, I know nothing about hiphop except what was considered old school from the 80's. The show was inspirational because the poets were kids from tough neighborhoods and they where given an oppertunity to express them selves. The show displayed a creative and positive look on hiphop as an art verses the sterotypes that come with hiphop as a culture. I enjoyed the show and have a new respect for the music genere.

Unit1

This is my Unit 1 post. I have to submit them late because during the first 3 units I was in and out of the hospital. I'm restoring my health so I can continue to move forward with my life. I know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle for example: eating right, exercising, and practicing wellness I will be good to do what I need to. I have been exercising 5 days a aweek and following a strict diet. My most recent visit with the doctors has shown postive signs of improvment.

Unit 10

I can't believe that this course is over. The units flew by so fast. It was an experience trying to make it through this course. I was looking at my gradebook and was trying to figure out where I can make up for the time that I wasn't able to due to being in the hospital. I have loearned from this class how to research easier and take information and write about it from my perspective. I can see how research on any topic can be benefitical for learning something new because you as you research your getting information and holding it for later use.

Unit 9

Since I have been home from the hospital I have been working extra hard to make up assignments due to my time in the hospital. I am feeling very accomplished because I have made up just about all the work I haven't been able to do. My biggest fear was falling behind or having to repeate the class. I am now finished with my final paper and plan to revise it one more time before I submit it. I  feels good to know that I started this class, went through my tough times, and I never quit. I've made up incomplete assignments and took care of up and comming assignments. I'm proud of myself just for not quitting. It was a bit ovewhelming to know how many units had to be made up. With my time at home, it has become convenient for me to complete missed assignments.

Unit 8

Everyone the course is wrapping up. I am already just about finished with my final paper. I can't believe it's already almost finished. It feels like I just started on it. I think the part about my paper that I enjoyed the least was, the actual research prosses. I becomes very time consuming when researching. You could be sittting there searching several sites for information about your topic and out of no where when you glance at the clock, 4 hours passed and you didn't even feel it. I didn't mind the actual writting part because I feel as if I did a good job organizing and explaining my research. I just about finished and I have been tieing a couple of loose ends and making last minute corrections and adjustments. I found myself looking for the opinions of others on my drafts.

Unit 6

I can't believe that the year is almost over. This year has flown by so fast, I feel like it came an went. The weather as droped, the clocks changed, winters here. This is one of favorite times of year. The show, holidays, gatherings, and cooking. I'm looking forward to seeing friends and family this Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to ice skating in New York City. This time of year reminds me of when my son usto be younger and so innocent. Then they grow up and you lose track of them. This is the first year that my son wants to do his own thing with the girl friend. I am just a little jealous, I didn't think it was going to be this year.
