Unit eight (8)

I really have had a hard time with the process of trying to figure out what my thesis statement is. If you have read my paper then you can see that I still do not have one and we are very close to the end of this term. I know what I am talking about in my paper but figuring out what my thesis statement I am just not sure. As for keeping this blog after the class is over. I just do not think that I will because I have so much going on and everyone can get in touch with me through face book. This is a free download and all you have to do is type in my face book name and friend request me. My face book name is Jennifer Wysockey. You will see a picture of my youngest kitten with my mother's hands. I really just do not have the time to do two different writing things but I would love to keep in touch with everyone as much as possible. I am on face book everyday so it is pretty easy to get a hold of me.The only thing that I ask if you do look me up on face book please let me know that you are from Kaplan University so that I do not ignore you and I will confirm you as a friend. I ask thins because I do not accept everyone that friend requests me. Thank you for your patients as to this matter. I think that everyone in this class runs very busy lives so if they do or do not post to my blog I just take that as a sign that they just do not have the time. I do how ever have to say that i have enjoyed talking to everyone through this blog and I hope that some of you contact me through face book. I know that I all ready have a few of you logged in to face book but if you could please look me up through face book this would make it a lot easier to contact me. P.S. There are a lot of games that one can play through face book and I am in most of them because this helps me to unwind from all of the stress in my life. They are very relaxing to play.

unit seven

I feel so dumb that I could not remember how to post to my blog this week. I think that this is due because I had to take my mom for surgery and everything else is weighing very heavy on my mind and shoulders. I hope that everything starts to cool off soon so that I can catch up on everything that I need to and I will be able to keep my grades up because this is a very bad time to fall behind in any of my classes/courses. For everyone that reads this blogging post my mom is doing fine now. She had to have a nerve block done so that she will be able to use her arm and hand a little bit more (hopefully). The last time that she had this done it did not work so we are hopping that this time will be different and it will take.

This week the question talks about the peer review that we are doing this week. I think that doing peer review is a good thing because not only is the Professor going to grade your paper but this gives the other student a chance to read what you are writing about and it gives them a chance to help you polish off your paper before you write your finial project for this class/course. I like the way that everyone in this class/course can tell you what you are doing wrong without putting you down and making you think that you do not know anything at all. I think that Kaplan University should do this with all classes/courses. What better way to get a fresh pair of eyes to read your paper and see the things that you yourself might not see. For example= I have been doing my APA style the whole time that I have been in Kaplan like this = (VanDam, K., Ph.D. Tysick, N., M.A. (2008)). all t0 find out that this is the wrong way that it should be done. This is the reference to the KU Handbook but it would be the in text citation. This should look like this= VanDam, K., Ph.D., Tysick, N., M.A., 2008). I did not know that you do not put a ( ) inside of a ( ). this was very good advice and one that I will try to follow in every other paper that I have to write. (I am sure that their will be many more because I have about six more term left to go before I get my degree in Medical Transcription. What was something that you found very interesting about my paper or that you found that I did wrong? I hope that you feel free to let me know because I can not fix it unless you tell me. So please tell me everything that is wrong with my paper, what might sound better, how I can improve my paper to make it look more professional in the future. I thank you for all of your help on my final project and I hope that everyone learns something about Achromatopsia.

unit 6/ about final paper and what I have been dealing with in the past week or two

I am doing my final paper on a genetic condition called achromatopsia. In a nut shell this is a condition that effects the way a person see the color of the world. In my case I do not see any color at all. At the end of this class please come back to read more about this condition because I will attach my final paper to this blog. If I can not figure out how to attach my paper to this blog I will just simplly re-write it in this blog so that everyone can read more about this condition and what I have been going through for the last 38 years of my life.

What I have been going through in the last six week was the question that we are asked to answer ion this posting to our blog. I have been going through a lot in just the last week because I am trying to get my mother ready for surgery. She has to have something called a nerve block. What this is, is the doctor puts a long needle in to her neck and injects some medicine in to her so that the pain is blocked off from her arm. This should help her to be able to use her arm and hand again but they are not sure because of her condition. I hope that this time it works because the last time that she had this done it did not take and she was in more pain than she started with. When this is done she will be down for four days. She will have to have around the clock care or at lest until her body is able to fight off the side affects. I know (from the last time) that she gets very sick to her stomach, and has trouble focusing her eyes to see any thing. So, I will have to be hear in the house every moment until she is able to focus her eyes and keep food down.

The answer to last weeks game is Kaplan University has the best professors.

New game

Unit Five (5) Blog/ Playing A Game At The End.

This week I think that I have finally become comfortable with blogging and I think that it is just like journaling but you just have to do it on the computer and journaling you do in a notebook in the privacy of your home or bedroom. This weeks questions are = 1.) Discuss your personal writing process and see what others have to say about your style? 2.) IF there was one (1) think about your academic challenges, what would it be? and 3.) How is school influencing your life at or up to this point?

Question number one (1) = My personal writing process has taking me to a place that I never thought that I would ever be at because I have never liked writing but now that I have started to write I do not love it but I do not hate it either. I guess that this would be an improvement in my personal writing. When you think about it I had better get a lot more better with it because I am going for medical transcription and I know that there will be a lot of writing done with this career. One (1) of my goals is to start to get better with my writing and to start to like it a lot more than I all ready do because it will be very hard for me to do this kind of career if I hate to write. I guess what I am saying is that i am leaving the door open for improvement in this area of my studies. Question number two (2) = Academic challenges are not that easy for me to just pick out one (1) or two (2) different ones (1). I first thing that I came across in my new academic career as a student is becoming a student. The reason that I say this is because I never liked school to begin with and now look at me I am in college and doing great with all most all of my classes/courses.This of course was the biggest hurdle for me to overcome but I am sure that it is not the last one (1) that I will face. Another academic challenges was trying to navigate through Kaplan University classes/courses home pages. When every thing is new to some one than every thing is a little bit difficult to figure out.For example = Let us take this blog. When we first started to do this blogging thing a lot of the students (including myself) were very nervous and did not know what to do with it, how to write in it, start it up, post to others on it, or even adding a picture(which by the way I still do not know how to do this part). But look at me now, I can post to my blog, I got it set up and running, I am not nervous any more ( I hope that every one else is not nervous about blogging any more), I have learned to post to other students blog and I really like that part because I can not remember what was in the blog that I wanted to comment on by the time that I get back to the home page where I can make a post to my fellow students,and I just have to learn how to post a picture on to my blog so that my fellow students can know what some of the things that I talk about look like. Question number three (3) = I think that my choose to go back to school was the best choose that I have ever made because I know that I would never gotten to know some of the friends that I have made here at Kaplan University. I love the way that Kaplan University helps you out when you are having troubles with your classes/courses, and the way that Kaplan University works with you so that if you seem to fail a class/course they will help you to get in to an easier class/course so that you can pass it. I also love all of my professors that I get here at Kaplan University.

I am starting something new with this post. If you would like to play a game with my post please answer these questions. READY=
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

See if you can figure out what this says.
CLUE = The answer is in my posting this week. I will tell you what this says the next time that I post to my blog.
