I just finished the last 2 of my 3 part research worksheet and got them turned in. It turns out, they weren't too bad, and did get me thinking. I believe that the worksheets will be able to help me when I have to write research papers for future classes. Instead of just trying to think up a single question to write about, I can work up several options and then choose the one that works the best. I can also use these concepts if I am assigned a topic to write on, like how to freewrite to come up with ideas. I also finished my final draft of my What Is a Place essay, and got it submitted. That was a really good feeling and I think I did a good job on writing it. I will know for sure when I get my grades. Got finals tomorrow, so time to do a little studying, then off to bed to rest the brain cells a bit. I am going to do all three tomorrow, so it will be a long day, but it worked best for my schedule. That is one thing I liked about the online classes, was the flexibility it allowed, within the given time frames. I am already starting to get excited about next semester as well. It will be a bit more of a challenge, as I am taking four classes, but I know how to stay organized and track due dates, so it should be just fine. I will also be attending a lab at the school, so I will get to interact face to face with some of my fellow students. It will be nice to put faces together with names, since this semester was completely online. I am looking forward to the little break between semesters, and it will be nice not to have to tote around my backpack and laptop every where I go!
