I am officially done with school. I got an A in my last and final class.

I have earned my Master's Degree!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My class is officially over. My final grade a B. 89.64

I am so relieved this class is over and I can relaxed and focus on a new class next week. Though I'm REALLY REALLY nervous about my writing ability as a continue to move forward in the program.

My last grades for assignments were a 3.6 - 4.0 - 3.75 - 1.6

The 1.6 is the paper assignment. I pretty much flunked it and it is what it is. I was never going to make this teacher happy no matter what I did.

Goodbye to the 4.0 GPA I had in the program.

I was overjoyed that I had this GPA in a program full of writing. Writing and I don't go well together. Though I overcame it and pushed forward. I achieved these grades and earned them while going to work full time.

Sadly, I wonder if I will be able to make it through the next 4 classes till graduation. Clearly it's my writing that will never get a makeover and for me to see the progress. I'm a quite disappointed in myself for the low grades this term, but I put my heart and soul into the assignment. I didn't follow the directions clearly enough to get a better mark. It's more like I didn't write it appropriately in graduate standards.

I'm glad it's over, but I'm going to be on edge over my grades in my future classes. I don't have words to explain how I feel.

Well, I got my paper back and I failed it completely. I got a 2.20 out of a 4.0 - let's just say that it's a D for a letter grade. Plus, not a grade I wanted to come home too, either.

I have managed my way through 6 classes. So I have made an appointment at the Writing Center. I hope it helps because it took a toll on my confidence with writing. I'm trying to LEARN and get a sense of WHY my writing is horrible. I mean it sucks and after looking it over - I'm not surprised I failed. My sentences are horrible and don't make any sense. I'm impressed that I made it this far without much comment to my grammar. Well, I hope the tutor at the writing center can help me out.

( My Paper... )

Well I'm in my sixth class in my Master's Degree Program and I've been doing a great job. I hate to put anything in someone's face or be con-seeded in any means, but I have been doing really well. 5 Classes taken and received an A in each class. Currently in my sixth class and currently have an A, but that can always change. I work really hard to achieve the grades I have worked hard for and earned. Though APA style is kicking my butt and driving my life crazy. There are so many rules to follow and I'm trying my best to make sure I follow them with accuracy. :/

My last paper I just got back my professor commented on the use of commas and semi-colons. I should read up on that before my next paper. And now my grammar is being picked a part - along with my in-text citations. I know its to help me in the long run but I feel I will never accomplish it. It brings me down (makes me cry) and I try so hard to give the professor the assignment they are asking and looking for. I will never give up but feel like all I can focus on is SCHOOL. I work 40 hours a week and come home and do homework for the rest of the time. I still need a time during this time to keep me sane.

It just makes me really wonder about my writing skills. Oh! I know, NEEDS HELP!!!! I complete makeover. In my school papers I need to remember to spell out all words and not to use slang language. Not that I do but still I need to write in a formal manner and I try my best and to cite in APA style appropriately. It is hard and now I have to work extra hours to make sure my assignments meet all standards before sending it in. I probably should really think about taking a grammar class because I feel like I have no clue on basic grammar. I love the comments and boost to make my next paper even better and I will always strive for this. I had to email my professor and re-send her an assignment, claiming I never completed it, which I did. I explained that the word document had 2 pages and the part she was looking for was on the second page. I sent the document in 2 different ways for her to get it that I did complete the assignment.

Trust me - who will want to read this again. Who wants to hear me complain about WRITING. LOL. Not many will. I don't blame them to be honest.

Anyway, it makes me wonder why should I continue writing in Fandom. I know my stories need lots of work and the stories don't seem to catch a readers eye. I wrote a story for a secret Santa challenge and my giftee liked it. No one knows how it felt that she liked it, truly liked it and thanked me for writing it for her. I have to say, I'm damn fucking proud of this story. The emotional ride I went through pushed me to complete it and write the story I wanted to share. I'm really nervous about writing and sharing more stories for Fandom. I really do enjoy it, but I have so much to learn. I'm excited to work on my newest story and I hope it goes well. I'm not sure I will be able to pull it off but willing to take chances and risks. I know people have told me to 'keep on writing' and to 'practice practice practice' but its hard when you have no natural talent or the ability of creative expression. Anyway now that the tears have dried I will always continue to strive to do better and achieve my goals.

I now have the time to sit and talk about my wonderful trip to New Jersey and meeting up with some amazing friends.

At the beginning of the month, I went to NJ Con 2014 and I had an amazing time. I sadly, had to split my time with the convention, meeting and hanging out with my friends, and doing my homework and meeting my deadlines of posting it. It was an interesting time to balance it all, I have to say.

At the convention, I met, aelia1980, deanshot, and disneymagics. It was very nice to meet you all. I enjoyed spending time with you and getting to know you during the time at the convention.

I enjoyed the panels and I loved Mark's panel. He was so funny and shared some interesting theories about his character and the relationship with the Winchesters. I loved how he walked around in the audience and answer most or all of the questions in character.

I enjoyed the panel of Jared and Jensen, of course. I loved how Jensen sang two songs for the fans. Its a joy to see their happiness and joy of being together, on stage, sharing their love of the show with their fans!!! Watching their easy-going banter is fun to see; they feel so comfortable with one another. Pure love and respect for each other, it will never leave them whatsoever.

I got my picture taken and Jared and one with Jensen. It was my first time meeting Jensen, so it was a great moment. I got to give them a hug and thank them for taking the time to spend it with their fans!!!

It was a great trip all around and in the future, I will do it again. Probably go for gold, depending on money and stuff, but I would like to do it again, sometime.

I also enjoyed talking with another fan while I was working on some homework. It was nice to express myself about the boys and their characters. Hoping for the brotherly love moment to happen and for Sam to share how he truly feels about his brother and vise versa. I just want them to admit their mistakes and know that what they decided, when it comes to each other, that it was due to their love for one another. I want them to stop hiding how they truly care and love each other. Its completely evident, I just wish they could have a moment to recognize it in the long run.

I have some happy news to share!!! I finally got my Final Grade for my Second Class for my Master's Program and I got an A!! After the struggles and ups and downs of real life, this made my day!!!!

Hi Erin,
Thanks for your outstanding posting and responses to more than two of your classmates this week. Your posting was substantial and added much to the discussion forum. I appreciate the effort and quality of your work. Thanks!

This makes my day!!!!

It makes me feel good about the work I am doing for my classes and that my professors can see that, makes it all worth while.

Well I have to say that I have been very busy for the last 4 weeks. I have finally started my Master's Program in Early Childhood Education and I am so excited about it. I had to create a blog that I will be using for my schooling. SO far I am doing really well. Thought this APA style format is sort of new to me and I am working really hard to understand it as best I can. Wish me luck!!!

As for my Big Bang story I hope I can finish it. I have been writing and working scenes on paper and I am trying to find the time to get it all out onto the computer screen but I am still staying positive about getting it complete!!!

Well its official!! I am a Walden University Student. I start this Monday and I am a little nervous about it. I created a blog using blogger.com. This is the interesting part for me. I am very familiar with the idea of blogging but the expectations of the class is new to me so hopefully I will make it through!!

My first class is all about my professionalism in the field and I have a lot of experiences to share!!!
