The End

It is the best feeling ever to know that I am DONE with this class foreverrrrrr!!!!!!!!

Upload

I just uploaded all my assignments to D2L! I feel like I should of had more, but oh well. I can't believe this class is over with on Monday! It went by so fast. I can't wait to turn in this last paper and "pass" the class!

so were nearing the end of the semester and i am truly stressing over my paper and scrambling to get it done.

Almost time !! I am going to feel so relieved after i turn in that portfolio!

Meeting...

Even though our final paper is due in about a week I feel like I still have SO MUCH to work on. I'm so close to having my paper perfect, but I'm yet so far at the same time. I cannot wait for this paper to just be done...

I'm spent

this week has been nothing but work, not fun at all. Exams plus my papers to write, it just sucks all around. i cant wait till my last final its going to be such a relief, my mind is burning out and its becoming more and more of a harder task to keep my mind focused when i should be getting my work done but my brain is just spent.

Driving

I live in Waukesha and I drive to UWM 4 days a week for class.... it's starting to get really old and I am really get sick of bad drivers! I want this semester to be over with... the 30min-1hour drive is getting really old.

and I have learned that I will never ever ever take an 8am class again...

Brewers

The Brewers better take out the cubs this week. Lets go Brewers!

the final stretch..

I'm really nervous for this final stretch of school. This portfolio is the biggest of my worries though. I feel like I won't meet the course goals or even make sense and the readers will just read the first paragraph and send it to the "FAIL" pile. I'm screwed. on the plus side...I'm signing a lease on a house tomorrow! woooooo

my bad

So I have not been blogging at all and today in class I found out that it is part of our participation grade. Have no fear I will be blogging every day from here on out. Today sucks mainly because I have to write a paper on Society and Gender during the second world war. It is extremely lame and that is all.

Peace out

DONE!!!!

Sooo happy I just finished my ROUGH draft!!! I feel like it still has a ways to go, but I am so glad to have my rough draft completed. I am really excited to get feedback to what I wrote so I can edit it and make it better.

I still have to work a little bit on my bibliography, but that should be easy...

But question... do we need to use the annotated bibliography or can we just use a normal one????

Unfinished paper

I am still currently writing my paper and I have a little over 7 pages typed but still a ton of information that I can put into it but I can't bring myself to continue with it because no matter how I continue with it I feel like it is just making my paper worse, I dont know if it is writers block or I am just sick of working on this damn thing either way tonight I am going to have to finish at least another page, and then I can hand it in and feel as a bit better about it... hopefully

Anyone in the same boat as I am?

"

For example, I gave the example earlier of the student who has the following research question: Why has extremist religion become such a problem?

And she has stated that she plans to use the ideas of philosopher Immanuel Kant, from one of his famous essays on religion, in order to analyze “extremist” Christianity or Islam. That is how she plans to generate answers to her research question.

This will lead her, when she is ready, to her statement of controlling purpose which will appear in the introduction of her Research Essay:

“In this essay I will analyze the rise of extremist Islam in the modern world using the Kant’s ideas about religion in order to understand what social, economic, and cultural factors fuel religious extremism.”

" Here is me quoting the instructor from an email, I believe everyone should have received.

It is apparent that her topic is extremist religion.

Here's where my part comes in....

I am writing on video game addiction, specifically MMORPGs, games like World of Warcraft for those of you who have no idea what MMORPG means.

I am not going to spend time talking about this, I know a lot of you really don't give two craps about what I have to say about my topic.

Anyways, I am still on the phase of just having my topic, video game addiction. In what I quoted above, this writer is using the "philosopher Immanuel Kant" to explain her topic.

Pretty much what I am getting at is that I just have my topic, I do not have my Immanuel Kant yet. Yes I have sources, but none of them can be used in a bigger picture like Kant is.

Damn, that sounded a lot better in my head, hope it makes sense to some of you.

Does anyone have their controlling purpose yet? Is it a good idea to get a source with a sociological or psychological background to assist us in inquiry? ...Inquiry, like all of us know exactly what that means now.

Anyone around the same level of progress as I am?

So i realized...

That I'm a part-time employee at my shit job and they have me scheduled 42 hours next week....does that make sense?

STRESSED OUT

So i have changed my topic like 5 times now and each time i change it and try to find sources on it, i never seem to find enough sources or find anything thats useable! i'm ready to change my topic to something totally different and unrelated to my old topics! I should not be this stressed out when we havent even started writting the paper yet! This will be my first homework assignment that i havent completed because i cant find any sources long enough to write about! ughh if any one has any intresting topics let me know!

ok so...

Is anyone else still completely lost on what to right about for this final paper?
