Worried

I'm really worried about turning in my papers. I got a zero on the last on the summary I turned in and I thought I wrote better than that. I know it was only 10 points but that is 10 points i really need. Dropped my grade down to a low B. I hope I do better on this next one. I've been practicing a little on Twitter but still not sure about the #. Guess I will get that figured out. I'm tired today. I didn't sleep well last night, crazy crazy dreams. I probably stressed myself out too much over homework since that's what I worked on both Tuesday and Wednesday night and without a break until it was time to eat then go to bed. I have a meeting today at the office and I do not want to do it. I can't design handouts so I don't know why i even offered to do that with Chad. i have enough work of my own to do without adding to my plate. I'll give it my best shot and maaybe this meeting will be more productive than it was last time. Tomorrow is a work day so we will be moving file cabinets and arranging other things in the closet. Boy do I have a boring life. Im supposed to write about things but there isn't much to write about. My computer keeps flashing.

Writing Groove

Writing to get back in the groove of things. What shall I write about this morning? Maybe I should write about the weather that is worrying me and if I'm going to have to pull extra shifts at the Red Cross if we have to put up a shelter. My dogs are home so if the weather comes, I hope it waits until I'm out of class. I feel behind since I missed last Thursday but I'm sure I'll catch up. I've been practicing on Twitter so hopefully I've got that down. I just have to follow my classmates and not sure how to do that. I have to stop worrying about feeling like I don't belong in this class. I think it's just because it's been so long since I've been in school and also since I took English Comp I. I keep doubting myself and that is really upsetting me because I have no reason to doubt my abilities. I will pass this class one way or another.

Angela Gossett - Intro

Hi!  I am a mother of 2 daughters and I have 2 grandchildren, 2 & 4 years old.  My children and grandchildren are my world.  I am married to a super great man that adores me and the kids too and would do anything for us and has always been that way.  I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and fish.  I work full time.  My position is very interesting.  I serve through AmeriCorps at the Red Cross.  I am a Volunteer Engagement Specialist and what that means is I get to interact with all the Volunteers that come in to the Red Cross.  I do everything from speaking to them about different trainings available, teaching them 1st Aid/CPR/AED, to entering them into our computer system at the office, and much, much more. 

It has been a very, very long time since I've been in school and it's been a really long time since I was in English Comp I so Comp II is going to be a little difficult for me, especially in the beginning. I want a college degree before I'm 50, which is a number that's right around the corner.  There have only been a few members of my family that graduated High School and even fewer from college.  I can only think of 2 so that makes me want this even more.  I'm also hoping it shows other family members and my friends that it doesn't matter how long you've been out of school or how old you are a college degree is within reach.

Thanks for reading my blog and good luck this semester!

Free Write 1/15/13

I'm a nervous wreck.  Sitting in class with a bunch of younger kids, younger than my daughter and it's been a very long time since I was in class or since I had English Comp 1.  I hope I can do this and I hope to excel at it but I just don't know.  Most everything I will do in this class will be on the computer and I already looked like an idiot by not being able to sign in.  Ugh!!  We are now writing a Free write blog about whatever and I am still ful of nerves.  This will pass I'm sure but until then I feel like I could puke!  The instructor seems pretty cool so that helps.  I thought I lost my blog, another screeen popped up and my heart and stomach sank!  I can do this, I can do this, I just have to keep telling myself this over and over and it will sink in.  I feel like an idiot writing about this but this is what'ss on the top of my head.  Whatever happened to the day of pen and paper?  I love the computer but to check emails, facebook to write papers but i still favor old school pen and paper.  God, I am old, lol.  I will get used to thjis and will be flying trhough it by the time we get into mid semester ofr sooner. I sure wish I had a cup of coffee a vanilla latte from starbucks would be wonderful.  Maybe Thursday I will be able to pick one up before class we will see.  I'm sitting next to a very beautiful young lady with the most gorgeous hair.  I would love to have hair as long and as beautiful as hers.  She seems really nice so I hope to keep sitting by her and we be English buddies , lol.  I am not sure what else I am supposed to write about, the teacher just has us typing away and I don't know where the stopping point is.  Oh it's now!
