Month Of May... Soooo Busy !!!! I am Glad It is Over!!!

Thank God May is over!!! I have been so busy with school graduations and preparing Awards for the students last day of school. I feel so bad I missed my first grade class list of honor roll , so now I am have to order more honor roll medals and mail them out this summer. Now I am sooo exhausted , but I have my own school work to continue. Got bad news today , my Mom is the hospital. Now I need to juggle my class due dates and travel to see her. I am still expexted to work next week. Looks like I may miss a day or so. The weird thing is last year on July 4th , she was rushed to the hospital for her heart and we almost lost her. Last night was June 4th, hmm what is that trying to tell us.

Week Four Of Term Four... OMG!!

I think I finally got the hang of Arts & Humannites, just trying to keep up with 2 discusions in that class is tough!! Don't get  me started on API class I am having sooo much trouble with the practice tests and tests. There are things on the test that I have not been taught in class or in the book. I am worried if I keep making low test grades that I will not pass AP I. There is no help in what is expected of you in the final porject. If we have qeustions just email her. I 'll just keep studying and trying the best I can and hope I pass this class with the grade I want. To think in July I start Math & Social Science I hope these classes are not my worst night mare!!

Fourth term in school -Whew!!!

 

Anatomy and Physiology and Arts & Humannties -Term 4

Man, I have my work cut out for these two classes. I have never got a 50 on a pratice test and taken it as many tries  in order to get all ten points as I did this first week in AP I class. I am going to have to step up my brain power and God only knows how I will mange that!!!  Work is extra busy since school is getting ready to be out June 4th.

Getting a break before the next term

Yeah !!!!!!!!!!

It  is over for this term  and now my little break before the next term begins is over too. Man nine weeks is a long time. The two week break is so short compared to the amount of time you are in class. Now I have to get ready for AP I & Arts & Humannties class starting next week. All I ask is for the Lord to keep giving me the strength and knowledge to endure this journey of mine.

Final Exam Day!! Ugh!!!!

Wow!! I am glad that the test is over. I was allowed 3 hours and 15 minutes. I made 160 out of 190 points. I was a little disappointed , I really thought I had more of the mutilpe choice right. This nutrition class was very hard. I have learned a lot in the class and will use it in my future career as well as my own personal life. 

I am proud of how my paper turned out in Comp II. I learned quite a bit about sugar while writing this paper. I was really suprised that I made 240 out of 250 points for the final paper. I had so much trouble finding the time to finish it I thought I was gooing to be late submitting it. I have something to brag about myself , I have made the President's list again for this term. When I started school I was not even thinking about a Dean's list let alone a President's list. I am going to have to by some frames for the certificates. I will need to find a place to hang them up.  I know that English is over for me , but I will use all of the knowledge I gained in order to write in the future. Thanks again to all of my Professor's and their great teaching techniques. 

Easter Day ---So Many Vistors Today- Yeah!!!

Today I got to see my family , it was great to see my parents and nieces and their children . I got to bake Easter cupcakes for them and make them Easter baskets. It has been a long time since I have gotten to do that since my boys are grown up now. The only downfall of this visit is, I am behind on my paper. I worked until amlost 11:00 pm lastnight and thought I was finished until I counted my pages and found I am short for the page requirement. What a bummer!! Not only that I did the wrong project activity in my other class and I have to get the right one done and turned by Tuesday just like my final paper. I wish my parents would move up here and live c;lose by so i can see them more and help take care of them as well. Maybe something will come up that will allow them to afford to move near me.  Wow, this term has just flown by and I cannot believe that  I will be begining another term in a few weeks. Thank God for the little break you get in between !!

Trying to get to the finish line!!

Okay , I made a boo boo I submitted a non pararmedic paragraph. Hopefully the new one I posted is right. I have had a busy weekend . Spring is here and that means back to yard work.. yuck!! I used mucles I forgot I had and I am so sore I cannot move . Typing this blog even hurts!! Well I am on the home strecth to finishing the final paper , just have to get busy doing it. I have a project  to finish in my nutritional class before I can get started on my paper and it is already 4:00 pm. I put myself behind today because I decided to treat myself to seeing a movie with my husband before doing my school work . Old Dogs was very funny I needed to laugh.

Some Spring Break ... Snow Arrived at the end of it!!!

What A Bummer!!!

I finally can have week off and I end up working three days of it and to top it off we get snow Saturday evening. Today is the last day of the break and the snow is melting and I am working on my school work. Only in Texas do  we have 70 degree weather one day and freezing the next followed by ice or snow. To make my week even worse  I get sick again by Wednesday , my allegeries are so bad I have to take a steroid dose packet and it makes me sick to my stomach and keeps me awake. I have had the worst luck with my health this term. I have been making changes in my eating habits to be healthier , I guess my body went into shock, I do not know why I was already eating whole grains and stuff  before. I just have cut down my meats and have added more fresh veggies into my diet. I was hoping for some peer feedback on my paper before I had to go back to work but I have not seen any so    I  will have to get busy revising my paper for the final due date.

Oh well , no rest for the weary!!

 I must do like the ants and keep Marching On... One By One!!!

Busy Writing This Weekend

I have not had time to sit down and write my rough draft, so I pulled a two day writing marathon this weekend. It was not easy becuase my son and husband were home bugging me.
I have learned so much about sugar and  I feel like it is a double edge sword commodity. However in all of my research I would rather take my chances eating sugar and that kind of sugar would be the natural raw sugar not the fine white table sugar, than any sugar substitutes. I am not going to deprive myself of a sugary food item , however I will strive to only get the sugar my body needs through natural foods such as fruits and vegetables.

Now I can say Yeah!! , I have finish the first hurdle and I am on the home strecth for the final paper!! I am going to be like Muhammad Ali- Float Like A Butterfly And Sting Like a Bee!!!

A Happy Day

I  am so happy I found a few more articles that discuss sugar being linked to asthma. Today is a yucky rainy day , the kinda of day when you rather stay in bed and sleep. I could use it too , because I am sick again. My mind is starting to get on the roll for my paper ,however I am not sure how to write the abstract , I think I will wait until I have finished my rough draft, that way I will know how to summarize the whole paper. One of the articles I found discusses that scientists may have discovered a sugar polymer cell that can help eliminate allergern and asthma attacks caused by sugar. I think I am understanding the article correctly I have never read so much scientific terms in my life. I feel like giving myself  a pat on the back , because I have done so well in both of my classes even though I have struggled to have the energy to get my work done and attend my seminars, since I have stayed sick this term. It is amazing what a person can endure when the goals you set forth for yourself much be achieved. W ell  I need to stop babbling and get to writing my rough draft before my mind loses all of the thoughts it has for my paper.

See everyone in the blogs next week...

Finishing my thoughts about my paper

I have  been looking on the internet for more articles on sugar linked to asthma but not I am having much luck. I may have to look for a different route or add one more thing to my thesis statement. How can a small paragragh be published on this and noone esle has done any research. I know that it has to take more than one person's finding this link to asthma in order to warn patients. I may have to go to he public library , I just need to find the time to get there. It has been really interesting to read the articles to find out ho much sugar can cause the body to age and that it feeds the cells of cancer or should iIsay the cancer feeds  from the sugar. I just need to get started writing my rough draft so I can get it  in order and express my points for the sugar and sugar substitutes and how it can affect the body. I am not saying that sugar is bad for you ,it all comes down to how much you consume and in what tpye of foods you eat that have sugar in them.

The Dreadful day , had to file our Taxes

Well finally got around to filing our taxes , got the bad  news that we have to pay Uncle Sam.
It is all my faullt because I did not have the correct withholdings taken out of my check when I changed my W-4. Oh well you live and learn.
I am concerned about my paper , I can only find one article in the Kaplan Library on sugar linked to asthma.

Had a Really Bad Day at Work

Today was really awful I had students  put in the hall and in my office for misbehaving in class. Made it very difficult for me  to get my work done. Then I have rough housing going on in the boys bathroom that escalated into a fight. I think because it was snowing and they had to be in school , it  really had the students thinking more about being home to play in snow rather than being in school.  I had a teacher that  has to take a half day off for Thurday.Then to top off my day I cannot even get home and I have a teacher call in for tommorow. This would not be so bad except I have no subs to call in to work for them. In the morning I have to inform the teachers that are at work that they will have to split up the class and teach  both grades. I pray that chapel day (tommorow) is  alot better than today was.

Family In Tupelo, MS

I promised to email Wanda and tell her about the family I have buried in Tupelo , MS.
M husband's grandmother is buried in what they call the Presley's cemetery I believe it has another name but I cannot remember the name of it at this time. So is some of my Aunt Dorothy's in-laws, the Griffins. My mother-in-law is Elvis Presley's third cousin and my aunt Dorothy's husband is related to Elvis as well , however I forget how , so evey year in August everyone goes to Tupelo for the Presley Family Reunion. It is kinda strange because I have family from my Aunt's side there and family from my Mother-in -laws as well.
I got to go one year and we stayed at Granny Presley's house,which by the way   right  from her street you can walk down and tour Evlis's first house he lived in as a child before his father went to prison for writing a hot check . That was the story that was told to be by my husband's ranny who lived with us for 8 years before she passed away. I saw a documentary on Evlis just this past year that explained why Vernon Presley went prison. He and some others friends raised a pig and sold it and because they were only paid I believe I remember them to $3.00 and they felt it was not fair and changed the check to $30.00. When Gladys was  trying to get Vernon out of jail she had to get a petion  with 500 siganture in order to petition for Vernon's  release. In   this documentary they displayed the petition and I saw Granny's siganture , Pernie Wilma Lovelady. I was blown away, however I could not ask Granny or my Mother-in -law becauces God had called them home. My husband had no clue , he is not impressed about being related to Elvcis. The funny thing that happen to us when drove from Lancaster , Texas all the to Tupelo , MS to bury Granny  ( inside of a minii van ) at 2:00 am as we were pulling into the funeral home ,we were stopped by the police. They wanted to know why we were driving slow and of there we several cars following each other at that time of the morning. We exlplained that we were  delivering our Grandmother to the funeral home. This trip was long and frustating because they made so many stops  ( I was in the vehicle with my mother-in-law ,who chained smoked)  and the last time we stopped I told them,Ya'll  Do Know Granny Ain't On Ice !  It was the month of July so it was hot. I could write alnight about the stories Granny told me about Elvis but I leave everyone hanging for now . Have any questions I try to answer them with best of my recollection.

Having A Rough Start With My Third Term

It has been rough for me this term , I started it out sick and it has been hard for me to stay up with my school work. book is online and I am having a hard time adjusting to that.  One of my classes the book is online . I prefer a real book to have in my hands to look at when I need to. My academic adivsor says that they may make all the books online. If this happens I may rethink online classes. If I am going to pay for a book I should have a choice to have the real thing. I have also had a very busy tiime this month at work.  I have been getting next years handbooks ready , handling the Valentine fundraiser for the high school class. Dealing with a very particular adminstrator that has made me tpye a program for our Black History program so many times I wanted to pull my hair out. I thought I understood how to write the scientific paper , however after the seminar I am little confused again. I looked at the sample rough draft and it is only four pages so I am wondering how does that cover the amount of pages we are required to write for the final paper. I know that I will eventually figure it out as well as how this blogging system works. I feel like I am an idiot trying to understand the Google Reader part. I guess the two connect some how I am not really sure, anyone reading this and can shed some light on how to understnd this blogging system  I would greatly appreciate some helpful tips , directions, etc.

My week at school

First I would like to tell  everyone about my picture. I posted this picture because I do not get to dress up very often and I chaperoned the Prom in 2008-2009 for the highschool class.  I do not like pictures of myself either , the pictures just reminds me of the weight I have gained.
This week has been very busy here at the private school , we have had to bake cakes , cookies, and cupcakes, and make lolipops for our Valentine fundraiser.  We delivered everything yesterday because of the bad weather. I am exhausted , here it is Friday and there was no school due to the 12 inches of snow that Texas got. I am at work! I stopped working long enough to do a little school work. I have my  mind on my term paper and I am trying to figure out which way to present the necessity of proper nutrition. I need to write about nutrition in some form because I am passionate about it and know that I can write a long enough paper to turn in. Mrs. Wanda will probally think ,she does not know where to stop talking about nutrition.
