about this class

my final project wasn’t that best it could have been and i know that. I have been so tired and not in the mood to do anything lately. No, i am not pregnant. My glasses broke so i am blind and its horrible because i am only 19 and i have to sit a foot from the screen to see and still squint at times. I can’t drive, i cant see, i can’t do anything because the earliest they could get me in is February 9th which is crazy!. I haven’t really felt up to finishing any work in my 2 classes considering i was failing them anyway even though i know i could have passed this class easier if i would have tried. Its just been so busy and my mind hasn’t been in place lately. With school going through Christmas and New years, it is the second busiest time of the year. The first is the summer so hopefully i can pull my head out of my bum and get back on the right track like i was when i first started school. My daughter’s future depends on it and that’s what kills me when i don’t finish my assignments. Time to get back on the right track!

blogging future

So the professor wants to know, do you plan to continue your blog even after the course? Yes actually i do. I’m too cheap to by a journal ^^ and i actually have a tab for my blog on my desktop drop down menu on the top. Its a newer computer and it has windows 7 and i think that's how i got it because of my new hard drive. Anyway, its easy access and whenever i get the itch to write about something, anything, i can and its all right there for me. This was actually a great idea to keep a blog in this class. It was very fun and interesting.

My take on peer review

So out of the four questions the professor asked i chose “How do you feel about peer reviews? What have your experiences with them been like?”

So peer reviews make me nervous. They make me embarrassed and make me feel like i want to rip up my paper and not show them or just hide under a table somewhere until its all over with. Yes a little extreme but its true. When it comes to peer reveiw i am a chicken. Thoughts are going through my mind like crazy. “What are they going to think about it? Are they going to laugh at me later after they have told their friends how horrible it was? Are they going to think i am “not the brightest” because i can’t write a stupid paper?” Yes i am paranoid, i always have been. I’m not the type to care about what people think or say about me but when it comes down to something like this then yeah, i freak out. So far i haven’t had any bad experiences. Except, back in high school, we had to peer review and help them change what needed to be changed. I had to switch with someone i didn’t get along with and that was a bad idea. She told me to do something and change it, you know, the basics. Well silly me fell for it, thinking she was trying to help since it was a school thing. Nope, i was wrong, she told me to do something that wasn’t even right and i got a D on the paper. Wasn’t a very happy camper i can tell you that much.
