Hello! Sorry it took so long to make this blog, although some things are harder for others and some things are easier for others to do. I made a blog, although my helper found out there was no where for you all to post or comment. Therefore, I have to start a different one and this time it is much easier. That's a plus for me. ha ha. Well, My name is Brenda, I go by Bren, I live in a little town called Sharpsville, in PA. Nothing happens around here, thank goodness, it is a real quiet town. I am in my 5 term of college. I am studying to be a Medical Transcriber. The more I see commercials the more I think I might be changing my career. But I feel right now I am going to finish this goal first and see how I like it, I may really like it. I want to make the A's I am used to making to get back on the Dean's list again. But right now I am being treated for the H1N1 flu. I have all the signs of it and feel so sick but the test came back negative. Doctor said they are getting a lot of negatives on people that are even in the hospital that are dieing from it. Just told me if not better in a week or so that's where I am going to be. So everyone pray for me. I love to take photo, read books by Nora Robert, Danielle Steele, Ann Rice, and a few others, I like to feed the Humming Birds, and the Wrens through out the year. Also, like to cook out on the barbecue, year round. I have a wonderful guy, his name is Ken. He spoils me rotten. He is rotten to. We are a pair. Two people you would never see in a million years. We finish each other words and statements, eat out we order the same thing all the time, we think alike, we pick out the same colors to wear, we need to do things the same time, if you know what I mean. God knew what he was doing when he put us together. No arguing or bad words between us. Then there are our cats, we have two, one is more favorable to him one to me. But Lou Lou is favorable to both. She is real smart. Talks and fetches a ball like a dog. Well that's about it.
Bless Us All

Congratulations Brenda! You are now an official blogger. I hope you recover from your flu. Have you tried all the usual remedies for flu? Chicken soup? Garlic? Lots of Vitamin C? Emergen-C? Golden Seal & Echinacea? What are your primary symptoms? All flus seem to have some common symptoms.
ReplyDeleteI am a cat person too. My cat is a Siamese named Demeter. She cannot sleep with me because she will make my sinuses clog up and make me sneeze. I trained her to sleep at the foot of the bed instead of close to my face.
I know what it is like to have a back injury . . . but I am still able to exercise.
Ok I hope this is how I am suppose to do this. I am doing my project on Dwarfism. I found it to be interesting. Any comment or ideas would greatly be appreciated. I would like to write about the reasons this happens medically, and how normal height ed couples end up with a dwarf baby, and such.
ReplyDeleteI love being an online student, it is very flexible. I can't go everyday due to medical reasons. I really think we have a good class. This is a good way to link a thread into our class to. I know there is not a lot of time in class to really discuss what we did over the week and give suggestions to each other, this could be a good way.I think we could have a closer class community if everyone would participate and really get involved in the class projects. After all I may have complained a little in the beginning but now I am enjoying this.
Hope everyone will become more interested and join the blog-o-sphere!
God Bless Everyone.

Plagiarism: What a dirty work, lol , Well I have read many things from people and thought wow they know their stuff, well they didn't they was copying and pasting things to me. That is plagiarism. Not giving the proper author and or writer the proper credit, that's plagiarism. Well I plagiarized one time had no clue I did it but I did. I sure won't do it again. Almost got kicked out of class. Scared me to death. I was like I know other people that are doing it this way, why can't I? Well I wasn't doing it right. I didn't know how to change the wording good enough and to use in-text citation. Well I sure do know how now. I learned in coll comp 1. I learned it good to. Never plagiarized again. I am very very careful. I always use in-text citation even though I may use their word in paraphrasing. I leave no chance that is will come up that I plagiarized. So please be very careful folks. It can be very easy to make a mistake, and have to do that paper over and I hope you don't ever get plagiarized. It was awful. I lost my points for the project and got turned in and could have got kicked out of class. I cried for a week it seemed like. So finding information and making a correct and precise paper out of it that will interest the audience is a little on the tough side for me. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I always have a difficult time on projects like these. But I can do it. Just would be easier with some friendly advise from my classmates. :)

Hi everyone!
ReplyDeleteI had trouble last night posting I hope it post's tonight! I wrote a poem last night, and now it's out of my head. I am very sorry I can't think it back up. Maybe in later post's you will get to read a poem of mine. Special thanks to Nancy for the extra sites you gave me to look up, I found myself running out of useful information. To the class I think we have a great class and a very smart class at that, I really appreciate all the input people are giving me on my project and on Thesis Statements. I guess I was still in College Comp 1 when trying to put together mine. I have to realize this is a different class and get up to par with the new things that I need to learn.
Class I am going to tell you a bit of information and I don't want sympathy, I have Bi-Polar. I am on about 13 pills day and night to function. I have fear of people like they are out to get me, I have hard times going outside for long periods of times or even at all, I have schizophrenia, vivid dreams,anxiety, severe depression, and I have a sleeping problem. I am on medication for all of this. Now if you walked up to me on the street you would never know except I am very shy. Thats why college on-line is the best for me. I can talk by typing and learn without wondering if I am being scoped out. My medicines help me cope with things but they are not a cure all.
So I am sorry if I sound butt back wards sometimes or if I come off in a strange fashion or I just don't understand and need more help with certain things, I can't help it. I am a normal person just with a little problem with emotions. How does that sound? Please do not feel sorry for me or laugh at at me for I am just like every one else I just have to take medicine.
I thought I would talk about me in this blog and let everyone know before you think I was being mean or disrespectful in any way in discussions.
Thanks a lot!

Unit 5 blog.
ReplyDeleteI am not going to complain about what we are doing in coll comp today. I would rather brain storm about how to do my work. The work is not that hard. To me it may be a little challenging and take a little more of our time then we want it to. I learned how to outline in comp 1. So I hope I did my work right. now in unit 6 that is giving me a little more trouble. But that is another blog to talk about. That I will probably not cover due to the holiday season. But if anyone has any suggestions on anything to do with what we are working on in Unit 6 it would be greatly appreciated right now. I would love to have some more bloggers to help me out some. I have been commenting to others but no comments here. Makes me sad!
Bren~
I would like to tell all of you in class and Professor Nancy to have a wonderful holiday and may all of your wishes come true and your many prayers be upon you be lifted in spirit and be raised to the heavens above and be upon you also.May all your families be delighted in your present and all of your children and grandchildren climb all over you. lol. May their Christmas be bright and shinny to. I hope all your travels are safe and where ever you go may the roads be clear to drive on. God Bless You All!!!
ReplyDeleteLove in Christ!

Unit 6
ReplyDeleteWell I am working on my units Draft of my project. I don't seem that I have enough information to make a long enough draft. I feel that I am out of place in the class, everyone is doing so well and I am lagging behind. I have started it and then restarted it and I just can't seem to get it the way I want it to be. Ever had New Year's blues? I think I have them. Trying my best in doing my best and can't get started to do it all together. I just feel hopeless in PA. I know I am good at writing so how come I can't get this project started and finished the way I should. I need feed back and need help. The only way to get that is post it. But this goes in drop box. Well better get my rear in gear. Toodles for now.
Well I hope everyone enjoyed there winter break as I did. We had a white Christmas and a white New Year and a white everything and still snowing here in PA. Very cold and windy and snowy. I guess we have been bit with ole man winter.
ReplyDeleteHope all your New Years Resolutions are coming along well and with not much hassle, I decided to stop smoking so mine is quite a chore. Doing good so far tho'.
Back to college tomorrow. Some go back today for seminar. Also Monday for seminar. I finally got my project in for my rough draft, thank goodness it is only a rough draft, for I need to make it longer, add some more information, and compile some more topics I think. Therefore, I am not all the way happy with my rough draft. Usually most people are not happy with rough draft's.
Well I guess if any one would like to give me some topics on dwarfism I might can use just let me know. I need some more input.

Unit 6
ReplyDeleteWell we are all getting our holiday cheer packed back up in our boxes and back into storage.I hope every ones New Years brings them every thing there New Years resolutions have been asked for. I have prayed to stop smokeing , so everyone pray for me and wish me luck.
So far so good!
Now for our project. As most of you know mine is on Dwarfism. I have been pondering and looking up all things that I can think of, and seems I am falling short of information. So any help would be appreciated after you all read it in discussion. I really need some feedback. I thought it to be a super topic, and still do, although ever site I go to seems to say the same thing. Please help.

Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI had to click on comments posted to read your blog archives with all your posts.
We will make it through this. Hopefully, I will be an expert for next term!
Unit 8
ReplyDeleteWell Looks like I posted two unit 6's one was suppose to be unit 7. So I hope you see that professor! I'm starting on my project today to get it the way I want it and hopefully the way you want it. I don't know why I am having so much difficulty with this but I guess the way I have been feeling lately and me not smoking adds a lot of stress to the ole thinker. lol So far so good, but it still hasn't gotten any easier yet. But I'm still keeping up the resolution.
I am trying to get every thing in I don't want to lose any points, for all the points I can get are needed right now. I wish I was back on the Deans list. Maybe next term!
God Bless all of you!

Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI forgot that I had to click on comments to get to the posts. I think this is why you do not have many comments on your blog. People do not know they have to click on the comments link to read the rest of your posts and respond.
I hope your efforts to quit smoking are going well. I just finished looking at your draft. You are right; it is rough and you do need more research and material.
I will try to help you with that. Let me go research and I will send you what I find. Remind me to remind classmates in seminar how they can get to your blog posts and comment.
Unit 9
ReplyDeleteWell I finally got my project in Nancy. I hope you like it. I really worked hard on it. Class I really enjoyed you in class this term. It has been a good class. I can say we worked as a team. Thanks for all the comments in DB I wish I had more comments in my blog but like Nancy said maybe you all didn't know how to post to it so I will announce it in the directory in Kaplan of how to do it. I can't believe another term is over so fast. Now I have to go through the anxiety of meeting a whole new class again. Thanks for all the help you all and thanks Nancy again. Love you all Huge hugs!

Unit 10
ReplyDeleteWell class we finally made it! What a wonderful class we had, I think Prof. Nancy was a great professor. Very informative and answered all our questions to the point. And you class you all was a great team, we really helped each other out in a jam. I think she was proud of the class she just had. I learned an awful lot in her class as well as I think several others did to. I hope to meet along the way again, it always helps to have a friendly in a new term class. Kinda makes it not so anxietible. It is hard for me to start new terms. I don't know about you all. I made that New Years resolution to stop smokeing and am doing so so and so starting a new term chewing on a straw I might flub up. So everyone pray for me I don't start back. It has been two weeks now. But I really want a cigerrette. Put one in front of me I'll take it. That easy. But my mind keeps saying your saving all that money you spend on cigs. O'well its a pretty good mind over matter. Also looking at my health. Better health. My doctor praised me the other day to he said my weezing from my asthma was great I sounded normal again. So that gave me more inititive to.
Well class good luck in your indevours and future terms of classes and maybe we will meet again. Hugs!
Bren~
Well well well here we are at the end
ReplyDeletefinally our term has come to an end
I hope our friendship will roll on
Plus our blogs will be open and rock on.
Our class was a great team
Our Professor was great
Our class seemed so short
altogether tho' what a joy it seemed.
My blog seemed uneventful for the most
not many people came to report
I had a URL mix up in the port
But hi folks you at the right one to post.
BE
Hi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI finally found your blog again. When you open your blog you see the November 18 post and cannot see the more recent posts until you click on "Comments." I think that is why your classmates nor I have posted very much on your blog.
I am not sure how to correct this since I am still a novice as well.
Thanks for the poem. That is great!
NO CIGARETTES! That is great Brenda! I am so glad to hear your asthma has improved. Keep up the good work. Remember to AIM me when you need to.
ReplyDeleteWell I started my new term. What a joy. It has been eventful getting connected to the professor, but with tech support from the company and all we got it made. "Houston we are all connected". I've been doing my timed writings and some other things to get my speed and accuracy up. No back space key. That is a real joy to stop using the baskspace key and trying not to look at my keys. Glad to have Amy Rider in class and Katrina Lakes in a class familiar faces are always comforting. Didn't think I was going to have anybody when asking around at end of term. Yes talking to you Professor is always a joy on aim when not to busy. I love keeping in touch with my previous professors when they have a chance to chat a minute. Even if it has to be a short hi, how ya doing, and bye. At least I know things are good with them. I hope for my classmates things are going well with you all. Things are good here. We have a foot and 8 inches of snow right now, and exspecting more this week. I can't believe it. We are according to weather man into record highs if it keeps going. I personally don't remember snow in February. So who cares I guess. lol. Was pretty slick on the roads yesteerday before the plows got to it but my honey is a good driver he just was playing to see if I would holler at him. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess bed is calling me I have a late class and thought of my blog. Talk to you all later. Toodles.
