Second week

Well, so far this week is doing better than last. I am settling into the new term at school and have gotten my schedule for this term situated. The first week is always rough on me learning the new "classroom" routines for page setup ad I am always grumpy when I don't hae a schedule. Now that I have gotten a chance to really do some work on both classes I am calming down because I have been able to work ahead a little. Being bi-polar and just learning what is wrong with me I am still getting a grasp on not letting these things get to me too roughly. The last two terms I was "crazy" and extremely upset for the first couple of weeks. Knowing now that I am bi-polar makes it easier for me to take control of myself a little better so that I can get on course much quicker. (the meds don't hurt either...lol) I look forward to the rest of this term. Also, at times I do write to get out my emotions and will post some of those things here ae well. I know they are nowhere near anykind of writing standard, but they aren't meant to be. I write them because getting the thoughts and feelings out of my head help me and I post them because I hope they help someone else to know they aren't the only one that feel that way.

  1. Putting your thoughts down on paper and getting them out of your system is good for your soul!

  2. I agree, I'm just not sure if I am happy with myself for putting them on here or not. Hopefully noone will think I am too crazy!!!

  3. I am ready to get my essay started.
    I am excited about the topic I picked and am thankful that in this section of writing I can choose my own topic.
    I still don't understand the point of these blogs.
    I thought the KU discussion boards were for this very reason.
    But in the grand scheme of things, what do I really know?

  4. The KU db's are for this, but this is a less formal forum for us to use as well. It is not as structured and I think that may be more helpful inthe long run than the db's are. Here we can have weekly peer reviews instead of just one or two. If we get stuck on somethng we can post our paper here to get ideas whenever we want instead of waiting until it is part of the assignment. Also it is a good way for us to vent and share with each other in order to understand where the critisism is coming from. Maybe this way it will make potentioally harsh comments easier to swallow because we will "see" each other's personalities better.
