Hello Eveyone:
Well I guess it all over, no more seminar's, discussion boards, or papers to be written.
its kind a sad, but then I'm happy at the ame time. I happy that I have made it through, and that I have actually learned how to use APA format. It wasn't really as hard as I made it put to be. I guess you could say that I just wasn't ready to learn something new, I figured that the old way was just fine. But then I thought to myself, if I'm going to learn anything I have to grasp everything in ther course. And that includes APA formatting. So I just sat down and read the handbook and learned how to do it.
Well guys I guess this is it. I'm going to miss all of you, and hope to see you in the next term
Thank You

How sad the term is over
Hello everyone:
This is very sad, the term is over now, all except for taking the exam in anatomy and physiology. It has been fun and exciting for me, because everyone has been so help full and understanding. I would just like to say thank you for everything that you all have done. I really done think that I would have made it through if I hadn't had you guys to help me understand APA format. I would have never understood it at all, but now I do. And I think that I can do it now, and if I don't I still have my KU handbook if I need to look something up to make sure that I hve done it the right way.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I hope to see you in my upcoming classes next term. My classes are Software Applications for the Healthcare Professional, and Diseases of the Human Body. Hope to see you in one of them it would be nice to see a familar name on the class roster.
Again thank you all so very much

Different Christmas Poem
Hello Everyone:
Hey guys I got this poem in an e-mail from my husband, I don't know who he recieved it from, but I thought that I would share it with you all.
A Different Christmas Poem
Just give this a read
The embers glowed softly, and in the dim light
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, aigelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, The the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
What are you doing, I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, its freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts.
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light,
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand h ere like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at "Preal on a day in DEcember"
Then he sighed, "Thats a Christmas 'Gram always remembers"
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, her i am.
I've not seen my own son in more that a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue, as American flag.
I can live throgh the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother...
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.."
"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be alright."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
:Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from you wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled,
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.
I thought that you guys might like this.
Thinking about our Women and Men who won't be able to be home with there familes this christmas because they are fighting to protect us over in Iraq and Afhgastain
Thank You and Marry Christmas

Its that time of year again
Hello Everyone
It that time of year again. Time to bring all your families together and remember all the fun time that you have had in the past, and make new memories for the future. You know somehow everything that seems to bring you down throughout the year, seems to go way at christmas time. You seem to be in a better mood and have the fun that you've been wanting to have all year through.
Christmas to me means to me, giving, love, sharing, and children. I guess you could say that I'm just a big sid at heart. I love watching my kids opening their gifts on christmas morning. But this year I will have more fun than I have had in a long time. My grand-daughter is going be 15 months old and she is going to have a blast this christmas. I know that she really doesn't understand what it means, but still it gong to be great. Its going to great to have a feeling of santa back in the house again.
I would just like to take this time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Near. Have fun with your families and make the day be the best that it can be.

What I have found while doing my research
Hi everyone
I would just like to say that doing this research paper has been a challenge for me. I fould a lot of information about Fetal Alcohol Sysndrome. I was completely shocked about the amount of women that do drink while they are pregnant. Even after they have been told by there health care provider that drinking would harm their baby. The amount of women that drink or even binge drik is stagering. And its not only women that are unhappy, or alcoholic's. it's women that are in college and professional women and even teenager's that become pregnant. I just wish that I could do something about this problem. I have found out that the only way to prevent Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not to drink at all when you are of childbearing age, or plan to become pregnant. To abstain from drink during this time period is the only way that you can stop this form becoming a bigger problem.
Thank you

We are in unit 6 now, and the time is going by to fast.
Hi Everyone:
Well unit 6 is here, and my how the time has gone by. It seems like I just started this class yesterday. I never thought that I would understand APA format, but I now get it. Or at least I think I get it. I have been working on my paper now for about 3 weeks, and I'm still not done. There is a lot of information on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in the Kaplan Library and on the internet. Right now I have 9 pages done, and I'm still not half way through all the information that I have. I know that a lot of the information repeats itself in the articles, and I have watched for that so I don't repeat myself. I have a tendence to do that I repeat myself a lot of the time so some of the things that I write doesn't make any sense. Something make me think that unit 9 will come up sooner than I think.
Good luck all on your papers

Life as a college student
Hi everyone:
So far being in college has been a challenge. You know h ow you feel when you start something new. Well thats the way that I feel everytime that I start a new term. I never think that I will be able to do it. But then a will surprise myself and actually find out that I can do it. It kinda like my math class, I was never any good at doing math. I could never understnd it at all. It was the same in the class that I took in college. I didn't understand any about it. But with help and being able to look at a problem and how it is solved I was able to do it. Thats the way it is in this unit with APA format. I don't knkow if I will ever understand it, but I know that I can at least gove it a try to see if I can do it. With the professor's help and the encourgement of my fellow students I will be able to get it right. Or at least I hope I will.
Being in college has changed my life for the better. I now know how to mamage my time so I have some time for everything that I need to do in a single day. I use my time wisely for all of the things that I have to do. Usually my schoold work comes first. when I get that done I do the other things that I need to do during the day. Like now its the time that I start putting out my christmas lights, thats the ones that I put outside. That way there I'm not going outside to oput them out when its so cold out that you freeze your fingers while you do it. I also start planning my thanksgiving and christmas dinners and what I need to get for them so I'm not buying things at the last minute. I take my lap top when I go on vacation so I keep up with everything. So for me laife so far as a college student ahs been a great challenge.
Thank you
