Having Fun!

I have really enjoyed blogging and will continue throughout my education here at Kaplan.I feel that this is an exercise for me that cannot go wrong. It will help me with my free writing that I enjoy doing and allows me to just talk when I get lonely working at night. Blogging helps me with writing ideas possibly for other classes that are coming up and controls writers block.

I am going to use this blog as a journal, a journey of my treatment of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy once I get started. So far, I went to the doctor today, talked with her about my goals and ideas. It has been so long since I have been to a doctor, there are few things we need to take care of first. Today we discussed bio-identical hormones, I gave her the research I used for my paper so she could read over it and get familiar with what I am talking about. As I am sitting here yet though another hot flash, the excitement and anticipation of a normal life is unbearable. I have not slept through a night in over 20 years, it is like setting your alarm clock for every hour on the hour everyday of your life covered in sweat, not wanting anyone to touch you or look at you.

I hope through writing this journal, I will use the paramedic method, keeping my paper informative and understandable. I will be practicing this a lot! I want to thank my classmates for all their help and valuable input. I hope to further our relationships and maybe see one another in other classes. Good Luck To All!

Nearing the End

Last day of unit 9, crunch time. My head is spinning a million miles an hour, final projects, exams, assignments, and yes conclusions. Everything seems just as important as the other, some may not be worth as many points but have the same personal importance in one way or another.

The research paper I am working on has been the center of my world. This is information that just baffles me and not in the way you think. I do not understand why something good would be kept in the dark for financial reasons. Where is the humanity? I have come to realize as I have been writing this paper, how many people it could affect who ever reads it. The importance of getting all the facts straight along with the information has been intense, this has not just been an online research paper but one with phone calls and appointments. This has been an emotional roller coaster ride that hopefully at the end of the paper will have a positive impact on someone!

I have truly enjoyed College Composition II at Kaplan University and having Dr. Manning as the professor. She is not only an exceptional teacher but a mentor. Dr. Manning has made the writing process easier to understand, and made writing something you just want to do everyday with the tools that she taught.
