What you will read will shock and intrigue you...

So, i reeled you in with that opening line huh? Sorry, it is just i have read so many articles and web pages with the exact same trickery. During my research on my topic, i have found that people really wan tyou to read their stuff!! I mean they put any type of heading so you open to there web page or new article, it is crazy. But, some proved to be valid and quite intriguing. I found out that alcoholism is a drug addiction, that was something i did not know. I had not realized it was that specific. I also found out that alcohol effects your heart, lungs and bowels (long term), again somethign they should post on alcoholic beverages! but this has been a fun journey of intrigue and discovery so far in my research, but also frustration and at times, stress. All in all, i am excited to see my final product, to see if it will have as big an intrigue to all as some of the recent articles i have come across.

Hello all, moving into week 6....

Well, these past 6 weeks have been very hectic for me. My son plays football, so every day we had practice, on top of having a newborn, mixed with trying to find a job and keeping the house running smoothly. All that combined with school makes for a few stressed days! But, i think i have been handling the pressure well and have figured out how to manage my time wisely. I miss the days of lounging around doing nothing more than i thought i would. But, i know all this hard work will pay off in the end, i will have my degree, and a good job. Hope everyone is doing well and see you in discussion.

NEW BABY+NEW JOB= ANXIETY

I just found out that i got this great job i interviewed for, the only problem is they want me to start sooner than i thought they would. SO now i am scrambling around trying to find a babysitter , and deal with the fact that i will be leaving my two month old for the first time. I am really excited about the job, just have way too many emotions running through my head right now. i know it would be hard to leave my baby girl anytime i decided to go to work, until she is 18 and out of the house. then , it will be hard to say goodbye. Well, anyway, wish me luck on figuring this all out and hopefully finding a great babysitter!

Giving credit where credit is due....

I would be pretty pissed off if someone took credit for something i put my heart and soul into. Most of the time, people take credit for small things, like if they want to make someone like them, they may take credit for something ot impress them, but taking credit for something big like a cure for cancer , or a pulitzer prize paper, is just awful.I dont understand how someone can feel they have the right to use someone elses work. How can they , in there right mind, look themselves in the mirror knowing what they did to someone else? They could have ruined there life's work or taken there livelihood. I am glad there are rules against such things, i really am.

Online Studies

Well, i am finally getting the hang of online learning. In a way i feel i am cheating myself by not going to school and being able to work at my own pace. But , then i see the advantages of it with the fast paced life that i have. I have been out of the military a year now and out of work for the same time ( 9 months pregnant and now trying to find a job). I love staying at home with my new born, but i miss the hustle and bustle of working and being around people again. The only reprive i get is online classes and seminars. I feel a bit pathetic, craving the work atmosphere over being around my precious baby 24/7. It's just i love working and earning, but i am sure with Kaplan and getting my degree, it will open more doors and better job opportunities.
