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

The forth week of class
Hello Everyone:
Well its the forth week of classes, and I still to be not able to understand how to do the
APA format again. Its just like when I was in Composition 1, I had trouble with the APA format in that class also. I really don't know what to do, or how to do it. But I guess all I can do it to keep on plugging at this and maybe I will get it right sooner or later. I just hope that its more sooner than later. Enough about that, I have been doing a lot of research for my 2 paper that I have do in unit 9. I have got a start on the rough draft on both of them but its different trying to write a scientific research than just a term paper. I have a lot more looking to do on both of them. But I will get it all in the end.
I really haven't been doing much of anything this last week. My Daughter, son-in-law, and grand-daughter are still on vacation. They won't be back for about another week. I really do miss them, exspecially my grand-daughter, she is just so cute and funny. So really all I have been doing is studing and taking care of my husband and son. I been really kinda bored but that is okay I guess. It will be better when I get everyone home.
Thank you
