Lots of Blogging

Okay, you can't tell it from this blog, but I have been doing lots of blog writing.

I started a blog just for stories about our family. I call it Simple Family Stories. I have been taking a minute here and there to write down little stories from how I met my husband to us planting our first garden here in Texas. I am not trying to put them in any particular order that way if something interesting happens today I can write about it or if nothing is really going on then I can write about something that happened from the past.

Mostly I have just been trying to stay busy reading and writing and trying to perfect my craft so that someday, dare I dream it, I will be graduated and working. Actually getting paid to do what I love, to write! I have always done it and I must not be to bad at it because I keep getting A's from all my teachers. I have Ethics and Algebra right now but in 4 weeks I will be starting Bio-Medical Writing. I am very excited to take that class.

Happy Easter all.

Another Semester Over

One more semester done. How wonderful it is to say that, especially knowing that if all goes well I will be a graduate by Christmas. I finished up my English Workshop class, no need for any other English classes now and I have started my adventure in computer classes with my first class Computer Literacy. I enjoyed both class and encountered to more teachers that gave very good and timely feedback.

The English Workshop class was an adventure toward a ten page argumentative paper. Much to large to paste here in the blog. I will however put it in my website. It was titled, "Budget Rekindles the Debate over Abortions" a very argumentative topic and in the news quite a bit lately.

The Computer Literacy class was the most basic of computer classes but I learned some very interesting things like cloud storage and Trojan viruses among other things. I was compelled to write a five page paper which was titled "Computers and the Technical Communications Industry." It will also be available on the website for your reading pleasure.

I fear next semester because it brings me into Algebra yet again. My love of words is barely equal to my dread of numbers. Yet here I go again forced to confront numbers. I do look forward to my Biomedical Writing class in the second half of the spring semester.

The adventure continues, stay tuned for more updates. :-)
