Prewriting techniques Unit 5

Hello all,
I must say, this is really the part I like most about writing a paper, which is putting all my ideas down on paper and organizing them into the desired structure. I don't mean to boast, but I find this part relatively easy and fun. It has been difficult to try and find time to buckle down for this project though. My work schedule has been all day, every day for the past month straight. It is starting to get a little difficult to keep all my thoughts in my head in focus, much less the ones I need to produce for a grade. So I really am glad we have reached "my" easiest part of the process so it won't take me literally forever to finish. I hope everyone else is doing well in this class so far. I know it can be rough if writing and literature are not your strong points. I had a basic college math class last semester that I barely passed with a D-, and I cried every night I had seminar. It was so frustrating.
Anyway, I will see everyone in class next week.

plagurism do's and don'ts/ Unit 4

Well, I think that plagurism is so easy to do when you don't know the rules. I don't think I have ever had any reference to just how extensive plagurism can go until this class. I was a bit astonished at how careful you have to be. I can understand though. If someone had taken my words and used them as their own, I would probably confront that person and make it known that their "ideas" were actually my ideas. I think with some practice I can begin to get the hang of avoiding all the possibillities of plagurising someones work. Besides that, it was actually a bit hard to find particular documents to back up my thesis statement, which was about proper nutrition, exercise, and diets for pregnant women. I tried many different word combo's and it took forever just to find one or two I could actually use. Bummer. But, I did it!

Thesis Statement/Unit3

Hello one and all, it has been one crazy month for me. I just moved from Asheville, NC to Charleston, SC the begining of March. I found a management job and couldn't be happier, but the job, my dogs, trying to see my fiance once a week, and keeping my school updated is starting to take a toll. I'm waiting for the smooth sailing to come into play.
I might sound like a dork, but I am really excited about writing this paper for class. Nutrition class was always my favorite to attend. I would like to become a personal consultant after this degree, and since I have my Associates in Culinary Arts I could also fix healthy, planned meals for my clients. That, and run a bed and breakfast. lol!! I have a tendency to create too many goals at one time.
Anyway, since this is the first blog for me I hope I'm doing it right. If I should be writing about something else will someone let me know. Thanks. I had that problem with Facebook too when I first joined.
Well, see everyone in class.
