This semester has been really tough for me to stay focused and keep up with the assignments for this course. With work becoming more and more demanding, I have found that my grades have started to drop. I also have moved twice this semester. Therefore, I have had my internet cut off for more than a week two times this semester. Thus making it hard to complete an online course.
However, that being said, I feel that my writing skills have improved slightly. I have started to try to look deeper into the meaning of the text, or the point that the author is trying to make when reading material. I still have problems just mainly summarizing for most of my essays, but that is something I hope to correct in time.
I was very split on the readings for this semester. I feel that I related to some, while others I had no interest in at all. I really disliked the writing style of "Up in the Air". I could not relate to it at all and found myself confused most of the time. However, I really enjoyed "Winter's Bone". I connected with Ree's character and what she was having to go through. She was put through so much and still made it through to the end.
I do not know how I have met the learning outcomes. I know in some areas I definitely have come short. I could use work on number 10. interpret and analyze texts. Like previously mentioned, I feel that even when I try to analyze a text that I still end up just summarizing what happened.
I feel that since my biggest challenge has been being able to focus and stay on time with my assignments, maybe I could look into getting a different job. It has been a difficult decision on my part. I feel that being so young and having a good job within the State Government that maybe I should try to keep this position. However, I feel that if I want to become a nurse a quickly as possible and get my career going that I will need to make school my main focus. I am just not sure how to make that transition. Any suggestions?
