This is the last week of Comp II and I have to say it was a good learning experience. It was challenging for me but I feel I gave it my best. I was never a very good writer and this class has made me more comfortable with my writing skills. I think my biggest challenge was citation but I feel better with them more then when I was in Comp I. I do feel more confident in my writing, at least now I feel I can do it and not be embarrassed of my work. Thank you Professor you were very helpful to me and you taught me a lot that I am sure I will be using in my future career.

Well it's the ninth week of comp ll and I have to say this class was tougher then comp1. I have learned a lot though that will help me in the future. I will be happy for week ten to get here. I have to say it's nice to have flex seminars as far as schedules go but I don't like having a different professor for seminar. I like having the same professor. As far as writing goes I know I have learned a lot but I also know that it's definitely not my thing. I just hope I make it through this class and its my last writing class that I have to take thank goodness. I have to admit doing these blogs were kinda fun. I never set up a blog before. I could see why people do them its a great way to journal your life or what ever you want. I think that is kinda cool. Thank you Professor you taught me a lot!!!

Well this week has been very busy. My mom hit her head and I had to take her to emergency. She was fine thank God. Then my daughter and I spent 12 1/2 hours at the DMV so she could get her license. That was a very long day but mission accomplished. Nicole now has her license. On Saturday we had soccer at 10 am and we won that game and then we had another game at 4pm and we won that game. After those two games were over we had to go directly to High school try outs for soccer. I thought the day was finally over when I went to pick her up but instead I found out she got hurt. So off to the emergency room again. Well we had x-rays done and found out she broke her thumb. That's not good especially since she is the goalie for the high school team. We finally got home about midnight and I gave her the pain killers they gave me and an hour later she was sick to her stomach. My poor daughter I felt so bad. It has been such a long week end for her. She finally got her license and now she can't drive with a broken hand.

Well this week has been very tough. My son has ADHD and is challenged everyday in school. I meet with his teacher all the time, take him to tutoring, help with homework and whatever else I could do to help him. But when on Friday at the end of the first week of the new quarter I get 2 phone calls not 1 but 2 phone calls from two of his teachers telling me that he has not been turning in his homework all week long in either class I just about lost it. I don't know how to get through to him how important school is and that he need to but his effort into school now. He looks at me so lost. He was being bullied a couple of weeks ago and I don't know if it's still happening. I am so concerned and at a loss of what to do next.

Well this week we are doing a post draft outline and my version seems to be different then the other ones that I saw on the discussion board. I either have it right or really wrong. Well time will tell. This week is stressful since I have outlines and drafts due in both of my classes. But I'm glad because once this week is over the hardest part is over. I will have most of my information and it will be organized and then writing the paper will come much easier. The other stress in my life this week is my daughter she will be going for her drivers test this Friday. I can't believe it. It scares the heck out of me. I guess it's just another one of those humps a parent has to face. I will just have to get over the fear of her being out there without me.

This has been a very difficult week for my son. he was bullied at school. The boy put a choke hold on him. Thank goodness a hall monitor saw what happened and gave both of them a warning. I don't understand why my son gets a warning when he was the one being bullied. I was so happy when he talked to me about it after school. The next day when he came home he was very upset. It happened again. This time no one but his friend was around and he kicked the kid to let him go. I called the school but no one was there to talk to. After talking to his friend I found out we knew where he lived. I drove over his house to talk to his parents. I am happy to say that they were very concerned and said that they would handle it and if it ever happened again to make sure i come to them. That was comforting to know that they were as concerned as I was.

Well this is week four and it's been a very busy week for me. My daughter just turned 16 years old on Wednesday. I can't believe it. She goes for her drivers licenses on November 5th. This weekend she also went to her first Homecoming with her so boyfriend. I say boyfriend lightly. She had a great time. I was so happy for her. I also messed up in this class I wrote my discussion post on Saturday and forgot to post it. Sometimes I can be sooo dumb. So it was posted late. Oh well things can be worse.
