Final Post

I can't believe that it is time for the final post. I am glad because that means one less thing to do every week, but I know that the elimination of the blog posts signifies the start of a lot more writing. I have been having a lot of luck so far with my research paper and I am hoping that it will stay that way. I have found a lot of great sources and have started putting together my introduction. At this point I really need to set down and read through all of my articles and books. They have a lot of information in them and so to this point I have only read through 3 of them completely and more or less skimmed through the other 3. I can't believe that we are already so far through the semester. I am so excited, because I have just one more after this! Good luck to everyone on writing the paper and have a good rest of the semester!

Week 7

I was beginning to get that mid-semester lag going on. You know the one where half way through the semester you lose your motivation to do anything. I used to blame it on the weather change until I realized that it happens to me in the Spring as well. Half way through the Spring semester the weather changes for the good, so I guess it's just my burnout spot. Luckily, I was able to refresh myself this weekend. I decided to go on a road trip. I headed out for Greenville, SC, a long 6 hour drive and watched KISS and Buckcherry in concert. They were awesome and totally worth the drive. Even though I had a long drive home through the night, I got back pumped up. You can't go and watch a band like that and not get pumped. They were swing through the rafters and Gene Simmons played an entire song standing about 50 feet in the air on the catwalk. Needless to say, I feel much better this week than before. I hope that the energy stays up so that I can pull some long hours going through the articles that I have pulled for research and writing on our research papers. Good luck to everyone ad if you get a chance to see KISS in Nashville, you will love the show!!

Week 6

Well it's early. Too early for me, but I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep so I thought I would get my blogs out of the way for the week. I am so excited that this week is Fall Break. I don't actually have any classes on Thursday or Friday but my husband does and it so it gives us some time off together. We aren't planning on going anywhere but sometimes it is nice to just relax and recuperate from full-time work schedules and full-time school schedules. If anyone is heading out this week, have a great time and be careful driving to your destination. Shifting to the homework, I have finally picked my topic for the research paper. Now I am just having a little trouble coming up with the title. I like my title to be something catchy and outside of the box, but that relates to the topic well. So far I have come up with nothing. My brain must be in shutdown mode, since I am normally not awake at this time of the morning. Some of you all may be thinking that 6:30 is not early at all, but I am not a morning person. I usually don't wake up until 7:30-8:00 after going to bed around midnight or later. My husband worked 2nd shift for two years and so I kind of inadvertently got on the same schedule. Have a great week everyone and to those who are heading out, have a great trip as well!!
