Peer Review!!

I haven’t had any bad experience with peer’s review yet, so I don’t know how I will feel if someone’s gave me a hard review. Last week, I got a small lecture from Prof. that we suppose to give constructive review on D.B. I am such a chicken to say anything bad to other people. Believe me, I try my best but it’s just not me. I am a people-pleaser. I understood what Prof was saying to me and how it should be done.

Ok back to the subject. Peer review could be a great thing. They can point out your mistakes that your eyes can’t see. Peer review can help you to become a strong writer. A fresh set of eyes cannot hurt anybody in my book. You just have to keep your head high and take it in a positive way; hopefully something great will come out of it.

Have a Happy and Save Thanksgiving Everyone.

The Past Six Weeks!!

The past six weeks have been pretty interesting. Some time it feels like a roller-coaster ride, the struggle, disappointment, happiness, and stress that comes with it throughout the term. I have always struggles with writing. It’s not me. I am a person who always had a hard time conveying my feelings through words, so this class has been a little challenge. When this term started, I took the Prof. Peter’s seminar. I really liked what he said that if you have a paper due at the end of any term, start your research today and start writing your paper from this week. Write 5 minutes a day, finish your paper as early as possible that way you will have enough time throughout your term to twit it. So I just did that. I wrote my rough draft weeks ago and have been working on it to make it better. But I have been dying for someone to read it and tell me how I did. I am glad that I did it early as I am not stressing myself right now.

 All this stress and hard work makes it a worthwhile in a sense. I am keeping my eyes on the finish line with the reward “my degree”.

Going back to school have given me a new meaning to life!

School has given me a new meaning to life. I mean, I was getting to a point where I needed something new in my life. I needed a new direction in life and going back to school was too scary. How I would feel sitting with teenagers? How embarrassing it would be if I don’t know the answer or need to ask for help? This entire question kept me away from school for a long time, but going back to school was the best thing, I did in my life.

 Online school is so great, yeah you have a lot of homework to do but still easy to fit it into your busy schedule. It gave me confidence. I feel so happy. I have something to talk about with other people. It has totally changed my life. I am never bore any more. I always have something to do now. Something to look forward too.

What would you do if someone used something you created without giving you credit?

Anything and everything needs credit. If we cook something really yummy, we want others to appreciate it that how good it was and they have never eaten anything delicious then this. That’s how all other things are, your art work, your article or book that you put your soul in to write it, and your ideas. We need to give credit where it’s due. We just cannot make it our own. If someone stole my idea and got rich with it, I would be mad as hell. Now I know, I have problem showing my angry side and I have a problem putting it in words but I will be mad that how could you do this to me, instead of giving me credit you made it your own. Thanks but no thanks…right.

How I feel about being an online student

I have been thinking to go to school for many years, but I was always too busy to take the time out for myself and do something for myself. I wanted to feel good about myself, have some confidence, and get a better paying job. I did some research about different universities that which one will fit better with my working schedule and while I was doing my research, I checked some of online universities too. Kaplan University fit the best with my busy life style. I talked with the Academic Advisor. I wanted to choose a degree which was available online. I register for the classes. I was so scared to go back to school after a long time. I did not have enough confidence in myself. I did not know how I will do in school? Am I going to get good grades? But now I love it, my GPA is 4.00 so far, it’s so easy, I mean it’s hard to finish all your writing but still it is so easy to fit this in your schedule. Discussions boards are a great way to keep the community close. I find it very easy to talk with all my classmates.

So far I don’t have any ideas to bring the class community closer, maybe if we make groups in class and do home work together or do brainstorming together for our writing projects. But I don’t know how it will fit in everyone schedule, but it’s an idea that we can try.  

Thank you

What's your feelings toward food?

This week I supposed to write about what our feelings and attitude toward food for my class Nutrition and Planning. My feelings and attitude toward food is happy. I love to eat. I live to eat not eat to live. I enjoy food. The smell, the taste, everything, but I am not a emotional eater unlike many of us are. We eat when we are sad  and we eat when are happy and we eat when we are bore. Some people crave salty food and some crave sweets.
What your intake about food. I want to know what you eat when you're happy or sad or bore?

My first experience in blog world

This is the first time I am writing a blog. This is one of my assignment for my class to start writing a blog. I don't know what I am going to write about but here I am. I am not much a writer and don't like to share much about my life with others because I always think my life is boring and I don't think people will be interested what I have to say, but we can take it from here and let see where it can take us.
Ciao for now.
