This Journey is over, and a new one will begin.

This has been quite an experience for me, as I'm sure it has for all of us.  Comp.I was hard, which didn't surprise me at all, but this class totally took me by surprise.  It seemed as if everything was working against me this term.  My work schedule always seemed to get more hectic with the most difficult units.  More "stuff" came up at home that would just disrupt my class studies in one way or another.  This is the type of class that you can't afford to let up in at all.  Comp. II really pushed me to my limit, it made me study harder than I have in any other course, with the exception of statistics.  What I have learned in this course will help me tremendously in the health care field, or any other field that I might choose to pursue.  I learned a lot in this class that will help me to be a better writer, but I feel that I still need some improvement in putting information in my own words.  I have never been a big talker or conversationalist, so I think that might have something to do with it.  Even after reading and re-reading my paper, no matter how much revising and editing I do, it just doesn't flow as smoothly as it should, so I will need some practice in that area as well.  I now know that being a good writer will help me in so many areas of my life, academically as well as professionally.  Being a better writer can only lead to having a better life.  Good luck to all of you!

How do I feel about my final paper.

This writing stuff is definitely not easy at all, I just want it to be over with.  I feel that I am giving it my all, so I won't be disappointed in myself.  I've applied most if not all of the techniques that we have discussed and studied this term.  I am still nervous, anxious, and above all tired, because I have worked very hard in this class to get everything done on time, I'm just exhausted.  I will take everything that I have learned in this class and apply it to the rest of my academic studies.  I feel a little more comfortable about writing an essay because I know most of the techniques that goes into writing a good paper.  I just get so stressed when I sit down in front of this computer knowing that I have to open this word document and start typing, because the deadline is rapidly approaching.  I will be so relieved when this is over.  Good Luck everyone.
