Final Blog. 7/23/11

I feel bad for saying this,but I am so glad this is almost over. As you can see I did not participate in this blog activity like I was suppose to. I am just not one that is comfortable posting my personal thought or activitys for the world to see. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, Iam just saying it's not for me. I personally feel like a journal is somewhere you should be able to write your thoughts and feelings out, but in a more private setting. It's hard for me to say if this would have helped my writting, I don't really feel that it would have. I already know how I feel or what happend in my day.How does me telling everone make me a better writter. I have never been one to enjoy writting and was hoping that would change with this class, but i am sad to say that is not the case. Thats ok because that is not what I want be. I understand writting is not for everyone and hope I don't sound really negative. The essays were aliitle hard for me because they were on a personal level, but they weren't as public as the blog. I feel I would have participated more with the journal and got more out of it if was turning it in privately. Oh well, it's over and it was definatly an experience.

July 6th Feeling Stressed!!!

I sit here tonight feeling a little stressed over a test tomorrow in chemistry and all of these writing assignments.
The chemistry is not so bad. It's the writing that has me frazzled. Writing has never been one of my strong points and feel like I'm struggling. There is essay due tonight that I'm still working on. I'm wishing I had some feed back on my first essay so I least knew what I did right and what I needed to work on to make this one better. I guess I'll just go for it and hope for the best. Maybe tomorrow will be less stressful. One can only hope.

What a day.  It was so crazy.  It started out ok, but then things went a little weird.  I have a best friend who is (was) pregnant.  We have been friends forever.  She had a lot of trouble getting pregnant.  They even did fertility treatments and struggled for a long time  but they have twins now.  After all that crap with fertility drugs and the twins somehow she got pregnant on her own.  She has had somewhat of a rough pregnancy and I have been there for her the whole time.  Today she finally is having the baby.  But it is not happening as expected.  Her husband is in the hospital today too as she is at the same time having that precious baby.  He got stuck in there with kidney stones  while the doc decided it was time for the baby to come.  She is 37 weeks so it is early but the baby is fine and so is mom and dad. 

After a long and hectic day I am finally relaxing by the pool with friends and enjoying the evening. 

Know your Audience

I found the know your audience discussion board fun and challenging at the same time. It  was nice to get to know my fellow classmates at a more personal level but I also found it challenging to give insight into my personal life. I enjoyed thinking out side my normal thinking when I had to decide what color described my personality and what car I would choose if I could have any. The questions I found more challenging were what would you do with a million dollars. I really had to think about that. I'm not sure if my response was even correct. Who really knows what they would really do until they are put in that position. It was still a fun question to answer but kinda hard to know the exact answer. Others I found challenging were what movie characters I would play or what tv show I would want to be in. I felt this way because that's not really something I think about or that really pertains to my, but all in all it was fun. It was nice to get to know my classmates more and I look forward to working with all of them.

Freewriting

The I believe statement I chose to freewrite about is I believe in playing outside with your children. As I start this I'm feeling a little nervouse because I have never done any freewriting before but here we go. i believe playing outside with your children is so important. Kids these days are so hooked to video games, computers, and Tv. Kids don't even know how to play anymore. when I was a kid my brother and I played outside all and had no problem finding things to keep us occupied. We built tree houses, went on walking adventures on our grandparents farm, went fishing. Very simple things but we had a blast and great memories. I also feel playing outside with your kids is a good way to stay connected with your children. I have the best memories with my kids when we are doing simple things together like going floating and watching my son catch his first fish or being in the park with my daughter helping her learn how to swing. The world is just moving to fast these days and sometimes we miss out on the simple things in life. things that don't require money or technology. Although I am guilty of enjoying all the new gadgets avaliable i still feel it's important to slow down alittle. I feel like I'm preaching and close to running out of time not sure how this went. I'm not to real comfortable at writing my feelings down, but it's over and I survived.

Jung Typology Test

My results from the Jung Typology test is that I'm a typology type ESFJ. This says that I'm someone that does not like being alone, thinks life has a purpose, organized, outgoing, values family ect. This test pretty much described me perfectly. This test really didn't surprise me at all. It said that my favored jobs could be in the medical field and I'm in school to be nurse. It also said one of the jobs I would not like is being a author which is also dead on considering I struggle with writing and have never really enjoyed it. I'm hoping this English class gives me a whole new perspective.
