I’m so very than that this term in college coming to an end. It has been a busy year it will be nice to work or summer job and take my mind off of school for a few short months.
I can look back on the last term with a feeling of satisfaction that I was able to complete everything. From starting off the term by creating my research proposal, I was able to start my dissertation early and actually finished it before it was due.
Press my biggest challenge over the past term was writing my thesis, but after a number reviews and late nights I was able to get that done as well. I only have a few more short days left in one more final before I am free for the summer and I cannot wait.
Thankfully, I only have one more year to go unless I come back to do graduate studies.
I am doing my first year of college through distance education. What this means, is that I am studying at home and not in a classroom setting. Because of this I thought that I could get away with buying custom research papers rather than writing my own. I was wrong and I’m paying dearly for it now.
It all started with a friend who told me you could buy research papers for a low cost and she figured if you read through it you would learn just as much as if you had written it yourself. It made sense to me and I decided that I would try it. I found someone who would sell one to me, but it backfired.
I was called out by my professor on my dissertation writing skills. He suggested that the style of writing was completely different than my previous essays had been. I admitted to what I had done and because of this I was not expelled. My grades went down dearly because of that essay and I have learned my lesson.
Some people look at me really funny when I tell of my love for rose gold jewelry. I just can’t help it. I really love the stuff. Most of the jewelry that I own is rose gold and I think I may love it so much because it is different and unique compared to what other people wear. I have always gone against the flow and my taste in jewelry is no different.
When I was given my diamond eternity ring in white gold, I cautiously asked if it would be okay to switch it for rose gold. I was told that would be fine. That made me so happy and I made the switch the very next day. I loved my new ring and it was completely me.
The only piece of jewelry that I have that is not rose gold is my diamond earring set. You can’t see the gold so much, so it doesn’t matter so much. It was also a gift from my dad, who is no longer around, so I can’t very well go and trade it in. It was purchased for me from his heart and I would not trade it for the world.
I had the opportunity today to go out for coffee with a good friend of mine, Bruce. You see, Bruce is a computer consultant, and when we go out for coffee, it is an opportunity to pick his brain for computer advice.
Today, we were talking about the best registry cleaner software. I was a little confused between the conflicting reviews I had read online. I just wasn’t sure which program out of the many that were available would be the best for my computer and my needs.
He told me that out of the Regcure Reviews and Registry Mechanic Review that he had read, there were no clear answers as to which was better. Bruce said that he did have some experience with Regcure, but beyond that he had no opinion.
But, if he uses Regcure himself, I figure that it should be good for me too. I plan to buy it next week and try it out.
In college I made a lot of new friends. Sure, some of them just ended up being acquaintances, but I did end up with a number of close friends. Quite often we would work on assignments together, study together, and socialize together.
It was from these people I learned many important lessons about life. We were all from different backgrounds and I was able to learn about their life experiences. It was an eye opening experience, as I had never really been many places in my life.
But one of the greatest lessons I learned was that of hard work. You see, Brad decided that instead of writing his own essays for his classes, he would buy essays instead. Now, in some respects, that would be a really cool idea, but it made me think that you could just buy a degree from a fake school, right?
Back to topic. I watched Brad search for a custom research paper for his engineering class. I also watched him buy a custom term paper for his psychology class. Things were really going good for him until he was caught on an English essay.
And that was the end of his college career. He was expelled.
I learned a valuable lesson that day - if you take a shortcut, it will catch up to you. Needless to say, all the papers I wrote in college were my own and I make sure that I never cut corners.
I have never liked school. In fact, I have always hated it. I never did very well, even when I worked really hard at it. The only reason I stuck it out in school was for the sports. I did really well in physical education and I was wanted for all sports teams in school. I absolutely love to play golf, so when I was offered a spot at a South Carolina golf school, I decided I needed to rethink this hatred of school.
I went to golf school and it was the most amazing experience of my life. I learned a lot and improved my game substantially. I was even offered a job to come back as an instructor. I was not ready for that kind of school commitment, but told them that it was something I would consider for my future.
I traveled for a bit and when I was ready to settle down, I decided that I should become an instructor at the Academy of Golf. It is ironic that, for someone who hated school with a passion, I was now a teacher. But, come to think of it, I could have been a physical education teacher and loved that as well.
I wanted to get my mom and dad something nice for their anniversary, but every year I have the same problem. I never know what to get them. This year, I decided that I would look into getting them some new home office furniture. They have just recently started using a computer, so their office is rather makeshift right now.
My dad has a really bad back and knees and I thought that using really high quality office chairs would be a good idea for him. I decided on a leather one that promotes good posture and comfort. I have a friend who sits at a computer all day and he has the same chair. He said that it was definitely worth the money.
I suggested the idea of office furniture to my brother and he decided that he, too, would buy them some for their anniversary. He is going to get them a proper computer desk. I think that they will be happy with our choice of gifts and it will take care of furnishing the newest room in their house.
I was going through some electronic magazines looking for some data recovery software reviews. I would like to use some information on these in a programming class that I am taking just for fun. I have always been interested in helping people recover missing or misplaced files and I wanted to see what kinds of technological advances have been made in this area.
I know that back when I first started helping people that the recovery my files data recovery program that I used was primitive, even then. I figure that in this point in time, there must be many advances made. I, myself would be someday interested in developing a good software program for this.
I have been working on developing a photo recovery software program and I thought that this would be a really good start to eventually developing the whole thing. It still has quite a few glitches, but I believe that it will be a really good program when it is finished.
My buddy, Jeremy, came over last night. It was nice because we have not had a good chance to visit in a long time. He has been extremely busy with school, and I have been busy trying to plan my wedding to the greatest man ever. Jeremy asked if I would please read an essay that he had written for his Political Studies class and let him know what I thought of it.
Being a high school teacher, I have read hundreds of term papers, so he wanted my take on his. I told him that the expectations between high school and university students were very different, but I would be happy to give it a go. That was all he wanted, so he brought it over. I read through it and I told him that I thought it was absolutely brilliant.
He was always very nervous when it came to writing research papers. I remember him being the exact same way when we were in high school. I reassured him that he had nothing to worry about, even though it was worth forty percent of his final grade. That made him happy and then we had the pleasure of visiting long into the night. I really missed him.
I happen to own a lot of jewelry. It is not because I buy a lot of jewelry, but because my parents are divorced and my dad would buy me gifts to make up for the time that he never spent with me. I know that he tried, but he went through a very selfish stage where no one really mattered to him but himself. In fact, the first visit that he missed was the one that earned me my diamond stud earrings.
The funny thing about this is that I was only six years old at the time. Who, in their right mind, buys diamonds for a six years old? My mom, being the responsible adult, would of course, not allow me to wear the, which I am thankful for now because I know that I wouldn’t still have them if I had worn them back then. And plus, my boyfriend thinks it’s hot when I wear them.
Dad has bought me two JoJo watches and they are absolutely my favorite thing. He has grown out of his selfish phase and tends to make it around to his visitations a lot more than he used to. I don’t really hold it against him, because I know that he really tries and seriously does not know any better. He is being the best dad that he can be and I love him for that.
