It is Thursday night and I am very tired. I've been waking up at 2 in the morning and not able to go back to sleep. I hope tonight will be different. I worked on my rough draft today and I think I have done very well. I printed it out and let my mom read it and she thought it was very good. My topic is Bipolar Disorder and she said it told her alot about Bipolar that she didn't already know. I asked her if it flowed from one paragraph to another and she said that it did. I think that is very cool. I have learned so much since starting school. I can't believe how fast it goes. I was surprised that I was able to work on my paper yesterday and today but I just sat down and did it. I'm surprised at my grades in my 2 classes this term, but I always am surprised by my grades. I think I am doing really good considering I haven't been in school since 1974. Well, I welcome your comments and will see you at our next seminar. Good night all.

Unit 5 blog - 11/11/09

I've been working on my prewriting techniques this afternoon. I welcome your comments and suggestions. I hope I did it write but as with everything, it takes practice. I really haven't decided if I like this blog thing. I haven't gotten much out of it. I do read your blogs but nothing is standing out for me. We pretty much do the same thing on the discussion thread. Anyway, just expressing my opinion on the matter.

Hello Ms. Perales and class, well I am in one of my manic states. I have done so much research and have all this information and don't know what to do with it. If you could see me typing and walking around you would definately know what a manic episode is. Yes I am on medication, but medication only goes so far. I also have probably done this to myself by drinking lots of coffee today. You think? Duh!!!! Anyway, I had to get on here and start talking before I drive myself nuts. Anyway, please don't worry, I am okay. For real. At least I can think clearly enough to write on my blog. Good for me. Have a wonderful evening and I will "see" ya'll in class tonight.

Take care,

Karen
