Unit 10 posting.

Hello class,
I cannot believe that this class is already over with. The time flew. I have submitted my last paper and I hope I did it right. I am not sure. Well lets hope for the best.
This time I want to write about what I have learned from this course. I learned a lot in this course. I learned how to be more specific in my emails to my coworkers. I learned how to better communicate with my coworkers. It seems such a small thing, but it really is important. I even got a "thumbs up" from my supervisor. This course was a lot of help to me. I am going to use what I learned in this course for the rest of my live. I will miss this course and also the instructor we had. Dr. M was wonderful, she knows her subject and she knows how to teach it. She makes sure everyone in class is ready to go to the next step. I really liked that I have had a instructor who took the time to get me to learn what I needed to succeed in this course. It was wonderful to be in this class. I also have to thank my class mates. You all have helped me a lot to succeed in this course. The comments to me have helped me to get better in writing. They have helped me to realize I can do better. I always thought that I am a great writer, in this course I learned how much I still have to learn. It showed me, that just because I got good grades in high school, it does not mean that I can rest. I had forgotten that I can not rest on the grade I got in high school, but that I have to continue learning. I do know that live is a constant learning, but how to apply it to ones live, is up to myself.
Thank you again, all of you for making this class really great for me. I will cherish my memories and keep them with me.
See you all later, hopefully soon, in more classes.

Unit 9 post

Hello y'all.
How is everyone? I hope you all are doing good. Now, after the holidays gone and over with, it is time to get back to normal. I am trying, but it is really hard. My grandson, he is 2 years old, just does not want to let go of the Christmas tree. It has to come down this week though. There will be tears, but it will be coming back in December.
Now in this Unit I was asked to write about how I feel, now that my paper is almost done. I am feeling a sense of accomplishment. It is a great feeling to have something accomplished, that seemed so hard when I first started this class. I am elated that I did it. All I have to do is to edit my paper and submit it. I just wish I had more time for research. Is that not crazy? I have had nine weeks, and still I have stuff to research. I think that when one is writing a research paper, there is never enough time. I am asking myself if I have done all I could, or is there more to do? To say? To add? All in all I am feeling really good about my paper and its content. I do hope my instructor will think the same. I have put a lot of work, not to mention my soul, into this paper. My next paper will be so much better, because of what I learned in this course. I cannot believe that this term is almost over with. These weeks went so fast, compared to when I started Unit 1. In Unit 1, it seemed so much to do and so little time, now I have to say that I am really sad that this is the next to last blog I post, for my class. I am going to try to keep up with the blog, but I am not sure I will write every week. Maybe a few times a month. Well, I will see what the future holds.
Now, I want to wish all my classmates all the luck in the world to finish what they started. I just want to let you know that, even when it gets harder, hang in there. Do not give up going for you dream. It is really worth it.
Love you all.
Gisa

Unit 8 posting.

Hello everyone.
Hope you all had a great new year. Mine was spend in the hospital. It was good though since I finally came home last Wednesday.
Now to my posting for this unit. The question asked was to write about the feedback or lack of thereof, I received from my peers. Well, I am a person who values feedback a lot. I really need feedback, because in my eyes, it makes live so much easier. So, to answer the question, no I did not receive a lot of feedback. That is kind of bothering me. I really run on feedback. It is essential for me. It does not matter if it is in my personal live or in my work life. I think I can not function without feedback, that is how essential it is for me. I do hope to get more feedback when I send my paper to my cohorts. I am so looking forward to more feedback as we start the almost last class in this term.
See you all next week at seminar.
