Christmas Shopping

I am not ready to christmas shop yet. I have been so busy working and going to school I dont have any free time at all. I have so much to do and my family is moving so I've been busy moving and stressing out over all of that stuff. Moving vans and moving people all in my stuff. So this year christmas is on the bottom of the list which is so sad for me to say. But priorities have to come first and putting food on my table is the main concern right now.

Anatomy and Physiology

I have been working my ass off in A&P and have been doing good. But my grade in lecture doesnt really show how hard I've been working. Now my teacher drops on us 3days before our test that our next exam wil be on chapters 12,13,14, and 15 WTFFFFF!!! is wrong with this lady. Everyone in class is freaking out. I just hope I am able to buckle down and stay here till as long as I need to, to study because this test just might be the death of me!!!!!!!

Freaking out

Well this weekend I decided to check my grade for professor Hamons class and I'm expecting to see my regular grade an A. But when I click on gradebook my grade was a 56%. WTHHH was going on. It said that I had a zero on a project. So I emailed him so quick to try to find out what happened and come to find out my Doc.3 was not shared with him so he couldnt grade it. Thank god for smart phones because I wasnt home so I shared it with him from my phone and now I am waiting on him to read and grade it. wish me luck guys.

APA

APA used to be the hardest thing for me to do when I first came to South University but after months on months of doing it over and over I am getting pretty good at it and I am getting more and more confidnet with the work that I do. Even when it comes to indenting the references I get so excited when they are right. So thank you Professor Hamon I appreciate you!!!

What I learned in class pt.1

Something that I learned in this class was to actually how to write a paper on a aguementive view. I am used to writing a lot of papers but I tend to loose my self in my thoughts and this paper actually helped me organize my thoughts more and come up with facts to back up my opinion, which was great.

Happy THANKSGIVING

I want to wish everyone in my class a very very happy thanksgiving!! And dont take anything for granted because it can be snatched away from you in a blink of an eye. Enjoy all the turkey, green beans, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and everything nice!!! I'll be at work so eat extra for me guys!!!

Time is winding down

Time is winding down and we are almost done with this semester. I can't believe it! We have already written two papers and have one more due. It is bitter sweet to be saying goodbye to you all but it has been fun. Lets rock this last paper and shoot for a 100%

Doc 3

I am very happy that Professor Hamon is letting us choose the next topic on our doc.3, Because no offense Professor Hamon but your topics were not up to par lol. But I am going to start it today because I had the busiest work weekend anyone could imagine. Well wish me luck guys.

Last Election post from me!!!

The president was elected for another 4 years. And I am happy my voice was heard and my vote was counted!!!! I'm happy that a lot of young people went out and voted for the candidate that they wanted to win. We are the future guys and lets keep going FOWARD---->>>>>

Early Voting

I have not voted yet due to my busy work and school schedule this week. Which I am very upset about. I waited in line for a least 2hrs one day last week until I had to leave to go to class and I havent had time to go back yet. So I have to go tomorrow and wait in the long line that awaits me. I hope everyone that has not voted yet will vote tomorrow as well.

Asthma Attack

I experienced my first asthma attack on wensday. It was very scary, I never had any kind of asthma problems or anything but it does run in my family. I was hospitalized for basically the whole day with all this wheezing and coughing and breathing problems. People who have asthma now I know it sucks. And I have been diagnosed with asthma so pray for me and let, and I hope for a quick recovery.

Cloud Services 1

I used to not really be a fan of google plus or google drive. I thought microsoft word was god I would write my papers and save them on my laptop and then when I needed to print I would just put it on my hard drive and bring it to school and print it out. Until one day my laptop caught a virus and all my assignments and papers were lost. And then Professor Hamon taught me how to use google drive and it saves everything automatically everytime with no worries. So if my laptop gets another virus then I dont have to have a break down and cry myself to sleep over loosing a paper. So I am for cloud services

Tropical Storm

While in class on october 24th diana brought to my attention that there was a tropical storm coming our way and it was passing over jamaica. I didnt really think it was that important until I got home and noticed that schools were letting the kids go early today and no school tomorrow on friday. I hope you guys are safe this weekend and prepare yourself and families for this storm.

Peer Review

This peer review stuff i used to hate it so. But now I believe I kind of like it. The group that actually revised my groups paper actually pointed out some good things and helped me fix what was wrong. I still have a little more work to do but that will be done by today.

Next Topic

I think the next topic should NOT be on the election. We have done enough on the election in my opinion, I think we should shake it up and do the next paper on something that means something to us and if we had to change everyones view on it what would we do. That paper would most likely have a lot of interesting topics to talk about and learn from.

Election Paper

my group and I are writing our paper on the different views that are different with each canidate and how they view each one. My part of the paper is going to be on the view of abortion because being a young woman in my twenties I might not be sure if I want children or if it would be right for me. And the decision should be soley mine whether or not I have children. A lot of people dont agree with this but it is my choice as it is every womans choice to make her own decision on whether or not she wants a child or not and she should not be crutinized for her decision at all.

Our first group paper

This week we started our group papers and let me tell you it is funny! People are taking it very serious but I guess its a good thing because people are taking this semester seriously unlike the other classes I've had that we had to kick people out the groups for not doing work and such things. This semester is turning out pretty well  and I'm looking foward to it.

O monday how I missed you

We are back in school on this beautiful monday afternoon. This weekend was very stressful at work. I work at Palms West Hospital and this weekend we got a lot of sick kids so it was crazyness going on in there. We were running around like crazy and some people even missed lunch :( . I couldnt even study, so you know it was busy. So I am glad to be back here at school doing what I do best and being productive with my time.

elections

I have been reading some negative things that are being put in peoples post about who they voting for or whether or not they are decided yet. Everyone has a option on who they want to run this country for them. I also dont agree with people putting all this stuff on the personal media because things can offend people that you never though would. That is my personal opinion and I choose to keep my decision private but I will definitley be at the polls this election and I hope to see you guys there as well.

Presedential Election

I am very happy that the elections are coming back up! It is extremely important for everyone to go out there and vote for who they believe is the right candidate for them. I personally dont like giving my opinion on who I am going to vote for but I am definitely registered to vote and will be making my way to the polls in November. Hope to see some of you guys there.

Hey there

I am at school today on FRIDAY yes a FRIDAY, and I am not liking it. I came to study for my A&P class and do computer work for Hamons class. I used to think my other classes were a peice of cake but I was so sadly mistaken. But I prayed on it and I am going to study my little tush off. So see you guys monday in class.

The beginning of A&P

I have started my A&P class with Professor Lockhart yesterday, and I have been having angina since than. I have not closed my book because there is no time to waste when it comes to that. And on top of that the bookstore ran out of the A&P lab books. WHHYYYYYYY!!! do they not know we have homework that has to be done and things that have to be studied in that book. In my opinion that is totally ridiculous and should never happen in a school with this many students, it is very unacceptable. Well wish me luck guys please and THANK YOU!!!

First Class of the Semester

Well this semester is a HUGE change than last semester. In my compII class we had about 12 students in the class including Professor Hamon. This semester we have about 24 students and most are new Professor Hamons class and are already kinda scared about what he is takling about. I am happy to be back in class and learn so lets start this party and rock.

Last Blog

We just did a thing on the internet called wordle.net and it was pretty cool it just took our entire blog post and took the most important words out of it. I saw three words that popped up a lot. The first one was Hamon. I wasnt putting him down though. I was just simply talking about the class and the assignments and how happy I was to have him again for english. The second word was paper because we had to write papers this semester on pretty difficult things to me so I just had to go with the flow and hope that I did great. The third one was different. I think this popped up because this semester is very different to me and I've changed a lot and I'm happy to see that the wordle showed that.

Time is running out

I still havent finished my doc.3 yet which I am not happy about. I just havent had a creative mind to finish it. I am going crazy with all my classes and last minute things. And my daughter has been sick and every week its something else with her. But that still is no excuse I need to tighten up.

In class

Professor Hamon is letting us spend the this thursday in class finishing up our papers.I am grateful that he is letting us do this, but I still cant figure out how to write this paper. It fustrates me because I love writing but I am just out of it. Well let me get back to this paper, time is running out.

Final Document

For my last paper I kept going through different ways to start this paper or just different ways to bring my paper to life and make it interesting. After talking with Professor Hamon I decided to do my paper on woman in the twentieth century and what they had to go through in order to be happy and live their lives. It is totally different how we live our lives now and have so much empowerment and freedom to live our lives the best that we can. WISH ME LUCK GUYS

Grade for Doc 1

My group and I have recieved our revised paper grade for Doc 1 and I am so glad that we re did the corrections because we recieved an A. I am extremely happy for that. Thanks Professor Hamon.

Finishing up Doc 2

I feel a lot more confident on this APA paper thing after having a one on one meeting with Professor Hamon. He helped me realize that I have been making very stupid mistakes and I have to keep telling myself that I can not keep revising my paper even though its so easy and fast for me to do this. I have to make time to go to the library and keep up with the corrections. So I can ace this paper and go celebrate.

New Paper

The next document we have to do in Professor Hamons class is on the poems we have read in class and Im kindof excited about this one. I am focused and I am ready to try to get this whole APA thing down packed so we will see how this turns out and what I can improve on and make it better. Im ready to rock.

Symbol

A symbol that means something to me is my is my license. Might sound weird but my license to me is my strength my independence my own property. Without my license I would be hopeless. I woud have to depend on people to take me places and beg them if they dont feel like it. I would have to depend on the public transportation to get me where I need to be. And since I have my license that gives me a go to buy cars. And since I have my own car I have total independence and I can come and go as I please. So to me my license is my symbol.

Doc 2

Well I just finished going over my doc 2 that my class mate reviewed for me and it wasnt that much changes to be done so I hope I gt  decent grade on this. I always try to do good on these APA so lets hope I do good on this one.

Sick Princess

For the last two days my daughter has been running a fever of 103. and yesterday she threw up three times and has been having headaches, stomach pains, and sore throat. So this morning I took her to her pediatrician and got a work up down and some cultures of her throat. Turns out she is getting strep throat and has been put on antibiotics and tylenol every four hours to keep her fever down. It sucks having a baby sick because when I leave for school she cries for me and wants my comfort and wants to cuddle until she feels better. A mothers work is never done I tell you.

new grade

Professor Hamon just sent me an email to fix more changes on my APA paper for class with my group. I still suck at this whole writing in APA style and I have been doing it for almost a whole year in all my classes. I hope that I can get the hang  of it before it is to late. I hate feeling like this and if you don't get how I feel let me tell you pretty stupid.

School Eval

In class today we had to do an evaluation of the school and what we think should be added to the school to make it better. And one of my Professors had a pretty good idea that every student should get an Ipad with registration because it helps with the school and books. Every semester every person spends adecent amount of money on books that the school changes the book about the next semester so that you cant sell or trade books with anyone and it is so annoying. I personally dont believe that they are actually going to make changes withthe school because its all about money. Everything we do is about money, so if it is not saving money than I dont believe that it is going to happen. One thing that I wish for is more computer labs because its crazy of we have to rush out of labs because some teachers are just so rude and there is not enough period. Okay I am done venting now.

White Elephants

I decided to do my paper on the White Elephants this story to me touched me. How a woman is going through certain things in her life and how the man in her life is trying to convince her to make decisions she is not willing to change her mind to. Well if you want to know more about my opinion on this story come read my paper.

My Birthday

My birthday is coming up on monday the 13th. I am not so excited about that this year because I am not going to be able to celebrate the way I want to. I am in school for the whole week and then I work fri-sun and I cant just take off. I guess my priorities have to come first before my happiness sometimes. And I am hoping that eventually I will be able to celebrate it. HOPING AND PRAYING

Trifles

It is crazy how a woman can murder her husband right there in her own bed and not automatically get arrested for it. This story opened my eyes up a little to notice that it really does take a lot more than physical evidence it has a lot to do with the mind. And looking at her kitchen like the woman were doing you can see that her tendencies were all out of wack and that the motives were right infront of there faces and not just in the bedroom.

Doc 2 assignment

This assignment that we will be writing next is pretty tricky. We are supposed to identify the characterization, plot, setting, symbols and the theme. Which doesnt seem so hard right. But to me the plot and characterization is kind of tricky because to me the plot sets the background of the character and what the character believes in. So this should be kind of tricky to me but well see how it works out. Well he just went over the paper that is due next week and once he broke it down it just does not seem so hard. So lets get this started.

A Rose for a Rose

I liked the story A Rose for emily because it made the whole class look at it differently. Even though we did look at it differently we all saw the same kind of clues, for one we saw that she was very lonely and was alone for a long time. But some saw love storys and some saw murder storys. It was very interesting once you sit down and disect the story for what it is. I enjoyed it.

APA

Writing an APA paper to me is very hard. I have done this plenty of times since I have been at South University and some how it still messes with my head. It gets complicated at the most stupid times. Like I will think I have it down packed and then boom something is done wrong or placed in th worng spot. The most I do wrong is make the Abstract a little to detailed when it should be simple but to me simple is always the hardest for me and I make it that way. But my group this time around is very good and we work good together so hopefully I will get the hang of it this time around. And I have to remember the library is my BEST FRIEND

Things I carry

Some things that I carry everyday are very simple but they mean a lot to me. I always carry pepper spray with me because you never know when you are going to end up in a position where you need to protect yourself. I also carry a picture of my baby girl who is 5 and that always pushes me the extra mile. I also carry hand sanitizer with me because I always have a runny nose and I want to keep my germs to myself and keep other peoples germs off me lol. and I carry either cash or debit never both.

Eng

This class is definitely more work than I thought it was going to be. No offense professor Hamon lol. But this semester is very tricky for me and for some reason I still cant get into the swing of things which is very weird for me because I'm usually a go getter from the gate. I need to snap out of it seriously.

Lemonade Mouth

Lastnight while cuddling with my princess we were watching her favorite movie called Lemonade Mouth and it had a lot of different kinds of races and religions in it that caught my eye that I never payed attention to before. For one there is this indian americanized young girl that is struggling between what her parents want her to be and what she wants to be. Her father always mentioned that he didnt work so hard in his other country to move the family here to america so she can throw her life away on boys and music she only needs to focus on her grades and college. But as the movie goes on she finds herself and starts a band and is one of the singers and plays guitar as well and ends up telling her father I will never live up to your expections and you have to except me for who I am an Indian American. It is a very good movie and has a lot of different stories in it, I encourage you all to watch it.

Writing in a group

My personal opinion on writing with groups is I HATE IT! I like to be able to express my feelings and thought in my own words. Not saying that other people dont have great ideas or thoughts its just I have had bad experiences with this. I have met a lot of lazy students who do a lot of this last miinute and dont take this as serious as I do. So hopefully I can make a good expeiernce of this and my opinion will change.

Jhumpa Lahiri's story

Lahiri's story is kind of like a lot of other storys about people that come from different countries and backgrounds. Some of them dont really know who they are because they are fighting a battle within themselves. Lahiri is fighting a battle within herself because she doesnt know exactly who she is either american or indian. As she gets older she learns more about herself and realizes that it is ok to be both and ends up living a pretty good life. She still has a deep connection with her Indian roots because she is close with her parents still. But she states in the story that she might not have that same connection to her roots as she does now when her parents pass away. To me this was a very good story.

LIGHT

sometimes I wonder when I am ever going to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Going to school takes so much from your life and so much of your time. Its not even the classes that take the time its the amount of work you have to put into the classes after class, you have to spend hrs upon hours studying and writing papers it feels as if it will never end. I just pray that I start seeing some kindof light at the end of my tunnel because im starting to feel it I just want to see a little light.

Back to REALITY

Im back in school and it took me about a week and a half to get back into the flow of things. I had such a great weekend off and I partied my tush off OMG soooo much fun. I actually think it was the longest week of my life and I really enjoyed it. Being back in school was hard, and to make things worse I have some tough classes this semester that require a lot of time and reading. But I am adjusting pretty well I think, I also have oone of my good friends in the hard class I have and having her there makes it that much more easier we can study together and do homework together but the best part is usually what I dont understand she does and vis versa so that is awesome. I am also happy to have professor hamon back this semester I love his class and his teaching hes awesome. Well I hope I stay motivated like I am now and pass everything with flashing colors. I wish everyone else the same lets ROCK!!!!!

See you all next semester

Hope I see all you guys net semester and good luk on everything

final

its the end. FINALLLLYYYYYYYYY time to party for a week and come back and face the next semester.

Summer Time

My daughter is out of school for the summer. her first summer vacation and she is loving it. She stays up late because like she says "I dont have school tomorrow, so I can stay up as late as i want." She constantly wants to go on play dates and go outside and goto the park for 8 hrs. She is running mommy dry i say DRYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Final Semester

The end is very near. Let the craming begin. I went out this whole weekend and it so backed me up. Im so frustrated but im trying my hardest to get done and keep this A in english. so far I have a 3.5 for this semester and I really need this to stay that way. So I have my headphones on and reggae playing. time to work :)

Entitlement

I think some students at this school feel as if they can act anyway they want to because they pay for school, or just have financial aid. Either way people still need to respect their elders and know there rights from wrongs. I heard a student telling a teacher that you do what I say because that is what you get paid for. To me she needs to know her place and respect what the teacher is doing or trying to teach.

Public Speaking

My public Speaking class is horrible the teacher does not want to post our grades about anything and I have gotten A's on everything but one speach and that was today. She told me I got a B on it and my grade was going to drop to a B. So I had to remind her that I had done a whole bunch of extra credit and how can one grade drop me and she was like "o yea thats right if forgot about that." She needs to tighten up or im going straight to the dean.

math test

so i got a C on my math test today. I thought i was going to get a least a B, but hey a C is way better than failing. I will try harder next time and make at least a B. hopefully my grade doesnt drop to a low B.

weekend over

The weekend to me flew by. I didnt do anything this weekend but work. I got no phone calls no texts no nothing at all. sometimes I wonder why I pay for a phone bill when no one uses the freaking number. I cant complain though because it gave me more time to practice my speech and study for tests.

My Princess

My princess will be graduating on wed. from pre K, and I am going to be a mess. She is growing up right before my eyes. I hope she stays as sweet as she is now through out her life. My little baby. or how she says it my big girl lol.

MATH

Just took my third math exam and I dont know how I feel about it. I studied and did practice questions and the whole nine but once I got that test in my hand it was a different story. Please wish me luck I get the test back on thursday. And good luck to everyone else that took it with me today as well.

Friday

Friday is approaching. which means I have work tomorrow morning and for the rest of the weekend.I dont know how Im going to pull this off I am extremely tired and this week has been hell playing catch up since we missed school on monday. Overall the week hasnt been that bad. But I know tomorrow is going to be tuff getting up at 5:30 in the morning especially for my little princess. GOD BLESS US

school work

Since the semester is wining down I am feeling overwhelmed about some classes. So much to do and there is never enough hours in a day. So I am going to keep praying and doing what I need to do.

Memorial Day

coming back to school today was very hard. I had an excellent weekend and enjoyed my five day vacation from school and work. It has been almost 6months that i have not had a day off in a while. So I enjoyed my self a lot and tried to sleep in if my daughter allowed me too that is.

SEMESTER OVER

This semester has went by very quickly. Just three more weeks and we are going to say good-bye to our fellow classmates and say hello to new ones. It has been fun getting to know all of you, the ones that I have worked with and have gotten to know. Good luck on your endevours.

My Grade

I do a lot of blogs in this class and my grade just dropped to points to a B because I have 16 out of 17 post. I really need to tighten up and do more blogs before it drops again. now this is 17/17 posts lol.

Vacation

I have vacation coming up in two days and O how excited I am. For the six months I have not had a day off, form school mon-thur to working at the hospital fri-sun. I am working soooo hard to get to were I want to be and I deserve tis freaking vaca. I just hope its what I expect.

Hungry

I have been in school for more than eight hours and i am starving, but that is the price to pay for getting good grades huh.

Stressed

School is so stressful. There is so much that needs to be done in oreder to succeed. But like my elders say "you have to crawl before you walk." So I can't wait till I start walking.

Stand your ground pt.2

I have been reading a lot of blogs that my classmates have been writing. And It opens my eyes to many opinions on this law. I agree with some that say it definitly needs to be amended, there are many things about this law that has to be looked over. I also believe that no matter what your situation is you do not have a right to kill someone unless you have PROOF. For example abusive husbands/wives. I feel as if you should do everything you need to do to get away from him/she. Like report him/her to the police station with physical evidence and and threatning voicemails or notes that you have, then move out of the place you two share. Then if he comes into your place trying to attack you,  then I feel as if you have a right to defend yourself as to shooting him in the leg to injur him or the shoulder so he can stop attacking. Then have the police come to take him to jail and serve his sentence.

Mothers Day

I would love to wish all of my fellow peers that are mothers a wonderful mothers day!!!!! you all work very hard at what you do. So enjoy your day.

Public Speaking part.2

Well I decided to go first in my public speaking class and I did excellent. I was very nervous but when I started speaking it all just flew out. I got nothing but positive feedback from my teacher. And i want to say congrats to everyone that also did a speech and did great.

Public Speaking

I am about to do a speech for my public speaking class. I am shitting bricks, I was cool about it for the last week and now that it is 20minutes away, im freaking out I have the bubble guts and everything. Wish me luck guys.

Writing/math

I always thought I was a very good writer and I could write a good paper in about 5minutes. But I think I have been proved wrong. I am usually horrible in math. Now I am passing math with a 100% and English is not my best subject anymore. So we will see how this all unfolds at the end of the semester.

TIANA

My daughters name is Tiana. She is my life. I have totally changed my whole life for her, I gave up my wants and needs to make sure she has everything she wants and needs. She motivates me everyday when I do not want to go to work or school all I have to do is look at her face and see her and that automatically gets me up. I thank god for her and her health everyday. I am truly blessed.

WORK FLOW

I definitely hate working. I understand its purpose to working for what you want. But I hate working every Friday, Saturday and Sunday especially 12hr shifts. Yhere very stressful and then going to school four days out of the week, is a hard schedule. I just have to keep reminding myself that this schedule is not perminant.

Red Eyes

My eyes are big, swollen and red. It is 12:00am and I have been at work all day from 7-7 and I have been doing homework and studying for hours. not to mention I have work again from 7-7. My eyes are begging me to close them and let them dream about good things. signed my big,swollen RED EYES!!!!

domestic violence

Domestic violence is a very bad thing. Some people tend to think that domestic violence is just towards women, but there wrong it also affects men as well. People can ruin a persons whole life in many ways. For one it can tear a person down in many ways such as there confidence in themselves, they don't think they are good enough for anyone besides the person that's beating them psychically and mentally. It also can tear apart a family as well. Imagine having your kids having to watch you get beat or yelled at like a piece of meat and not standing up for yourself. Believe it or not what your kids see is most likely what there going to grow up like or grow up doing. So keep that into perspective about domestic violence.

Switched math classes today and i feel that a lot of weight has been lifted. i have an excellent teacher now. Some people dont seem to realize the amount of stress school can have over someones whole attitude for the whole day. So now I have an understanding of what I didnt have before. Now im with the hubby who is going to treat me to lunch for mainting a positive attitude towards school and life.

Woke up this morning feeling like I can conquer the world. After my first class i still had the confidence. Walking into my second class i was still good and I walked out of there with my head still held pretty high. Now leaving my last class which was math. I am broken I tell you. BROKEN!. only thing I can conquer now is going home and going to sleep. Those are my feelings of life right now.
