Ice Skating

Sitting here watching the men compete in the Olympics. Nothing much going on. I am in SC with mom and dad. Paul is on the road with his uncle the truck driver. That is the news. Abby still getting big.

Cars we love to hate them!!!

I love my little car. It gets me where I need to go...most of the time! Today as Paul and I were doing some errand running it decided it was going to blow a hose and spew antifreeze everywhere. Luckily we hand some more antifreeze in the trunk. We allowed the car to cool down and dumped more antifreeze in it and drove it home (we were less than a mile from the house when it happened, thankfully). We discovered that it was a bypass hose and was easily replaced for under 2 bucks. Now the car is back up and running. I will have to keep an eye on the overflow tank for the next few days but all in all it was a success.

The end of Mod 3...

Well, I survived Mod 3 with a B in micro and an A in english!!! I dont know my numeric in English but I have an 86 in Micro. I am so glad that the mod is over. We start fresh in a new one on Monday. Concepts of Nursing and Nutrition. I am glad that we have a our first nursing class.

Another 80 and a B+

Well, I got and 80 on my Micro test. Basically, I have to make an 80 on the final to pass. This is okay though b/c I am not planning on getting below that anyway. I did my presentation today and I think I did well on that. I am just looking forward for this MOD to be over.
My English paper that I thought I did so good on, I made a B+. I really thought that it was an A paper but I am not complaining. I still have an A in the class at the moment. If I do well on the quiz and well on the final I will get my A for the course and I need it too for my GPA. I am just glad that I dont have to take the next English!

Midterms for Mod 3

Well, Mod 3 is coming to an end. Last week was midterms. I made a 96 on my English midterm and have a 92 in the class. I have an 82 in Micro. Micro is really trying to kick my butt, but I will make it through. I will be glad when this mod is over though. A week from yesterday is my Micro final and then I have my English Final on the Thursday. That is all the info for now.

Problem/Solution Arguement

Assignment: To explore both sides of an issue sufficiently enough to take a competent stand on that issue and persuade your audience to, accept and/or lean toward that position by proposing a compromise or solution to the problem that keeps the opposing views from agreeing.

In this essay you will be explaining why you have chosen to take a particular position on an issue. When writing a piece such as this, it is important to explain thoroughly both sides of the issue. You should also understand and take in to account the audience for which you will be writing. This will allow you to more usefully instruct your readers as to the reasoning behind your decision and create and atmosphere whereby your audience will more likely accept your position, a solution to the problem of disagreement.

Okay....so I understand the concept of this paper, but I dont know what in the heck I am going to write. I've been trying to come up with topics all week. Anyone out there have any ideas???

Taking care of your car...

Why dont people take care of their cars? I must admit, I have been very, very guilty of this in the past. I thought that it was not a big deal and that it would not cause any damage, but I was wrong. I guess that most feel this way or they dont have the time or the money. I can understand the money issue but time can be worked out. I have a lot of work that needs to be done on my car, though it is doing pretty good, and we just dont have the money, but all the basic work is indeed done. I guess that is the important thing at the moment.
