Unit 10

Wow! We are finally done with another term. I just took my final exam for pharmacology, whew I am glad that is over. Okay I have learned so much this term in composition and pharmacology. I am not sure how much smarter I am but I feel smarter anyway. LOL This term for me has had its ups and downs. I liked that there was no writing in pharmacology. I still have a ways to go to get my degree but I will get there eventually. Thanks to everyone who had read my blog and good luck to you all in all of your endeavors.

Unit 9

Okay it has been a very hard week for me, lots going on. A lot of personal problems to work through. I am glad that this term is almost over. My son had his eighth birthday yesterday and I can not believe how fast he is growing up. Seems that time flies by now a days.
This week in composition we had to revise and turn in our final papers. In pharmacology we learned about drugs for depression. Well one more week and we will be through another term. I would just like to tell you all I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Unit 8

Hello everyone, I hope that the new year has begun great for you all. Wow! Unit 8 already only two more weeks and another term will be over. My children have been home a lot due to the holiday break and all the snow days. So it has been harder to get quiet time to get studying and homework done. This week in Composition we are learning about the revision process and the different methods of revision. I have a lot of revising to do for my final paper. In Pharmacology we are learning about the drugs that treat the diseases of the urinary system. We are also still working on converting measurements. Well good luck to everyone on their final paper, happy revising.

Unit 7

Hello everyone, well it was a wonderful holiday season. Being home with family and friends was wonderful. I took the whole week off from school, I needed a break. I can not believe that we only have 3 weeks left and this term will be over, seems like yesterday we started. Well we had peer review this unit and hopefully it helped us all. Peer review can be scary when someone else is going to critique your work. My pharmacology class we are learning the importance of dosing and calculations and conversions. I had a little trouble with the math part, but I am getting it down.
During our break I watched the movie Julie and Julia, which all came about because of a blog, which turned into a book and movie. It was a decent. It is funny though that the thought of a blog becoming a movie. Makes you wander who really reads our blogs. Thanks to everyone for reading.

Week 6, Whew glad this one is almost over.

Hello everyone, I can't believe that we have almost 2 foot of snow. It hasn't snowed like this since the early 1900's. I think that the roads will be mostly clear by tomorrow afternoon, so I can do last minute Christmas shopping. Okay I got my first draft for Composition done, and i haven't started homework for pharmacology class yet. I will start on that as soon as I am done with this post. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, and a great start to the new year.

Week 5, halfway there!

Okay everyone this has been a busy week, I have just started my holiday shopping so therefore I have been busy. I can't believe we are in week 5 already. Where does the time go? This week I also registered for next terms classes. I will be taking Anatomy and Physiology II and Medical office management . I am looking forward to office management not so much the retaking of anatomy. This week in college comp we learned prewriting techniques, I liked these lessons because they helped me figure out which direction I want to take my final paper. In pharmacology we learned about drugs designed for the respiratory system and the circulatory system, some very interesting stuff this week.
Okay on a personal note, trying to figure out what to buy teenagers for Christmas is maddening, lol. I am thinking just to give them money and let them buy what they want. Any ideas would be helpful on the ever going teenage saga.

Week 4 crazy week

Hi everyone, it has been a crazy week for me, I found out that in my anatomy and physiology II class that I took last term needed to be passed with a C not a C- so I will have to retake that class again. Did any of you get told this information? I also ran my car in a ditch and my husband came to pull me out with his truck and the rope broke and our cars smashed each other, his however had no damage, but the whole rear end of my car has to be replaced. Okay I just keep telling myself that the bumps in the road are just to get us where we are suppose to be, but I think I am getting mountains. HA! Enough about my bad luck, this week in Composition we are learning about citing and plagiarism. I myself have had some trouble with this. I think after all the reading and videos this week, I am on track. I still have some trouble with the correct APA formatting, but I feel that will come along as well. In pharmacology we are learning about the gastrointestinal system and nutritional supplements, very interesting to learn how our bodies process the different medications and supplements. Okay this week is coming to an end and I feel like I am accomplishing so much in such a short period of time. Being an online student sure does have it's advantageous. Up at midnight doing homework, going to class in my pajamas, and not having to drive to class. I also like that the classes are all structured to help you learn and to know what is expected of you for the week. I usually try and do things on the same days. On Saturday I post my initial post to discussion and then Monday and Tuesday are to do responses to other students and quizzes and test. It is the easiest way for me to attend school. Well everyone, I hope you all enjoy my postings! Until next week......
