I just wanted to say that I really thought this was a great class. It was not the traditional kind of class that you would expect to take in college I guess. I really did learn a lot about myself in this class, probably more than I did about writing. I think that writing about my chosen topic of breast feeding was really a lot of fun, because I got to choose the topic I guess. My theory is that as long as you learn something and take it carry it with you in life, then it was well worth it. It is also great that I am more accustomed to blogging now too, which makes me feel more up to date on the in, which I am not. Thank you al for the great discussions and feed back this term. It really was a great class!

I am not done with my final draft at this point in time, although I am defiantly in the home stretch. I have not had all of the time in the world to work on it this week nor the attention span. I felt that my rough draft was in decent shape which really helped me get to the point that I am at. I wish that I was done with it, but all I can do is just try to stay focused. All I know is that I will feel about 100% better the second I turn this puppy in, and I am sure looking forward to that moment. Staying focuses is defiantly the key to succeeding this project.

Hello all! The blogging process has not been so bad during this past term. I had initially started this blog on my own time, but never found the time or dedication to continue through with it. I am hardly even able to keep a personal journal, and I used to write in journals as a teenager. I think that it is sort of nice to have people comment to each blog that I post. I don't really feel that there are a lot of comments from people, but I also know that my blogs posts aren't all that interesting either. I have tried to comment on peoples posts at least a couple of times a week. I think that in order for blogging to be successful for the blogger and the reader, both the blogger and reader must hold some sort of passion for the bogging topic, whether it be a continuing topic or a topic that constantly changes. Once this term comes to an end, I do not know if I will continue to blog on a weekly basis. I am feeling at this time that it is not really my style, especially since I tend to be a more private person, and blogging is not exactly all about privacy.

Well, it is week 7 and the rough draft for the final project has been submitted. Now comes the even more interesting part, to have my peers review my paper. I am actually looking forward to this because I know that there must be issues with my paper that I am just not seeing. I generally do not mind peer reviews, mainly because I find other peoples feedback to be interesting and often times helpful. I have actually had more luck with peer reviews at Kaplan that I have with feedback from the writing center. This may be due to the fact that my classmates know exactly what is going on with the class and knows what the Professor expects, whereas someone from the writing center may not. I have also had some not so great feedback from my peers too at times. When this did happen, I think it was because whoever read my paper did not read it thoroughly, which made for feedback that did not make much sense nor apply to my paper. Thjis actually only happened one time, so it has not discouraged me from allowing my peers free access to my paper. I am very eager t recieve feedback on my paper this week, and hope that those who do read it, find it to be interesting.
