Things I learned writing my rough draft

Oh  how I did not want to write my first draft for unit 6.  I chose genetically modified foods as my topic and actually did a great job of procrastinating on researching the topic.  I have gotten burned out on writing and was not in any way motivated.  However, when i sat down and actually read on my topic, I found numerous articles that were chocked full of great information.  I printed out my research to start writing and again I sighed in dislike of having to write more.  I began writing my paper and surprisingly it flowed quite nicely.  I was pleasantly surprised!  Now, I am not saying I wrote a perfect paper but I did write it and it was not as bad as I had anticipated. I am looking forward to getting the final paper turned in so the pressure is off of me and I am praying I get a good grade!  Good luck classmates on your papers and I hope you receive an awesome grade on it! 

I dislike winter!

Hi all!   Here I sit in Iowa wondering why I choose to live here when i dislike winters alot!  Last night we had another snow storm that blessed us with another 5 inches of snow!!!!  Another thing about winter in Iowa that i dislike is having to bundle up with coats, hats and gloves just to go out to the car.  Cabin fever is absolutely no fun at all and leads me to become lazy and unproductive.  I have lived in Iowa for many years, as I grew up here and only moved away for a couple of years at a time.  I was born in California and moved to Iowa when i was  4 years old.  You would think i would either  begin to deal with winters or move to a warmer climate, I have done neither!   LOL.  Well, until next time bloggers!  Danielle

Midterm blues!

Hi everyone!  Well here I sit attempting to juggle motherhood and school as I am sure many of you are also.  I miss the carefree days of youth where the worse you had to worry about is if your best friend will be able to come out and play.  LOL.  I am into my fourth term at Kaplan and I have to be honest, I am losing momentum and a little interest.  It just seem to keep piling on me and bogging me down.  I need a good dose of a swift kick in the butt to get me reved up again.  I want my girls to be proud of me and show my doubters that I can do this but I have lost my motivation.  Any suggestions?
