Rough Time

I've been having so many issues this term. Family issues, life issues, financial issues, you name it. I am so on my last straw. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I can get my life together. I have a feeling that me & my fiance are not going to be a couple anymore. There has been so much going on & I think he's going back to his old ways which I hope I am able to stay strong through because it's really effecting my life. I feel like my life is going down hill so fast & I was not prepared for this. He is all I have. The only person I can depend on. And to think that he has betrayed me has been very hard on me. I'm not on my regular diet anymore. It's hard for me to eat. And I have noticed myself becomeing dull & feel like that I don't want to do anything. But as I noticed when I talk about my problem, I get other people's opinions on how I can help myself in the situation. That makes it easier for me. But through all this, I have to hide my struggles from my boys. My 3 year old saw me cry & he just held me & hugged me. I don't want him to see me like that anymore. I want to be strong for my boys. I appreciate all the comments on my blog. I don't mind if I don't get a respond back from my blogs because I know I sometimes don't have time or make time to read the other blogs. So I understand everyone has their lives and they just might not have time to respond. So the lack of blog comments don't bother me. I'm just glad that I get this opportunity to be able to comfortably talk about my feelings and not be judged. I will definitely use the blog after class ends. This has been a stress releiver for me this week. And I hope that we all stay connected.

Peer Reviews

I feel that peer reviews are always needed. Everybody thinks differently. Other people notice errors in your papers that you wouldn't normally see. When I get peer reviews, I always go back and check my work and see if the problem is actually there. I'm always open to peer reviews because I think that different point of views give you more ideas. The Ah Ha moment that I had during my paper was when I was researching information. I learned so much about nutrition that it was like somethings that I learned were a surprise to me because I didn't think that somethings are so simple. When you think about being healthy, it seems like hard work. Like it's impossible to do. But when you make it your lifestyle, it becames easier.

In the last few weeks, my life has been so hard. I'm depressed all the time. It seems as if nothing is ever going to go right for me. I try my best and I go out of my way to do the right thing, but it seems that I have bad luck or something. I'm not a bad person, I never have been, but I just have the worst luck. School is the only thing I have going for me right now. I need so much right now, but I have nothing. I'm to the point to where I could just give up. But because of my kids, I'm trying to stay strong, but it's really hard. I've never been this down for so long in my entire life. I am trying to make the most of things and look at the brighter side because I'm still breathing. But sometimes I just want to give up. I'm trying to get my health back in order, so my topic on the importance of nutrition is perfect for me. I'm learning how to better my diet by doing the research for my paper. And because i have a personal trainer, I had fresh knowledge on the subject to add to my paper. I'm glad that I picked this subject because I will be able to use this information to achieve my personal goal.

My Writing Experience

My writing process usually starts with freewriting and outlining depending on what kind of paper I'm writing. But I'll talk about those tow processes. I think that I write better when I do my research first, then write about what I've learned. Then after Ido my freewriting, I add in the more factual information and the citing and all the things of that nature. Then that's when I make my rough draft. Usual my research is printed out or written out in an outline so that it's easier for me to see it and refer back to it when writing my rough draft. Then after I have all the information I think is important, I then do the spell check.t'

I feel like my academic challenges right now is keeping a schedule. It's hard for me to stay on schedule with the kids basically running it. As I've stated before, I have a 10 month old and a 3 year old, so my hands are full, and sometimes it's hard to schedule things when they as so active. It's getting easier for me now that they are in daycare, but I feel once I start working full time, it might be a little more difficult, but I've come too far to give up. So I will make a way to fit it all in to my schedule.

School influences my life so much right now. It keeps me grounded on my goals of becoming successful for me and my two kids to live a comfortable like. I've been with out work for almost 2 years now along with alot of other people. I think me going back to school and finishing will give me a better opportunity of finding a good job so that I can get back on my feet for us. I'm am so proud that I joined school again and will finish this time. It's one of the best decisions that I've ever made.
