Progressions and development

Well we are at the end of another term! what a wonderful accomplishment.

My son is home from his trip, and my research paper is finished; I can focus some good attention on him this week.

The scientific research paper was a enjoyable challenge to me, with some frustrating moments. Overall I can see progression in writing skill. I still long for further development however. Although I put sensible words on paper, still to be concise and choose stronger wording is a challenge to me.

Another composition term would be very good.

Miles to go before I sleep. : )

I borrowed this Robert Frost's poem, but everyone probably knew that.

I guess I feel a little like that today. It is so beautiful outdoors today, (unlike Frost's snowy woods) and I would really like to stop and enjoy it, but I have miles to go.....

I do enjoy writing still, having to write a report hasn't diminished that, but deadlines though needful are challenging.Researching the topic of managed medicalized maternity care versus collaborative comprehensive childbirth, with a focus on the midwife profession was enjoyable for me, but I had difficulty with how to present my argument in a scientifically researched way. I am still not satisfied with my paper. So we shall see how the day pans out.

As a side note, I pick up my son Billy on Thursday! Yeaaa! I sooo miss him.

Notations and Annotations



What a wonderful feeling to have nearly completed another term.

The lack of comments on posts has not discouraged me in the least, but I do enjoy feedback.

I suppose I have been keeping a journal and that is an accomplishment for me. I may continue this weekly process, after this term...possibly.

I wonder how many in this class have had a snowy week? We are currently receiving another few wet inches of the whiteness. It is beautifully clinging to the trees today. I love to see the snow displayed like this. I am assuming the winter is almost finished..?

We have two birthdays this week on the same day, Friday. Two sons (Marko, and Micah) born eleven years apart. What a wonderful treat for the entire family. They enjoy sharing their day.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and best wishes on your paper.
