The end of another term is near

This week in school, we are in Unit 9, the second to last unit before the beginning of the next term. I felt that this term went really well for me, the classes were great and so were the teachers and my classmates. Right now, I am getting ready to take a test for another class. I want to get it over with now so I can spend the rest of the week working on my essay for another class.

With my paper almost being done, I feel very proud of the work I have done and the journey I took in this class. In the past, I didn't use the resources provided as much (example- writing center), but I made a real effort to use them this term. When we were writing our thesis statements I referenced an article on how to write them, and the ideas just came to me. Also, the professors detailed seminars were very helpful, especially when she talked about the Greek approach. Another thing that helped me was to print a lot of my work, so I could sit back and read the articles while relaxing. I felt that ideas came to me better this way, and I was able to edit things I wouldn't of noticed if I were viewing it on the computer.

In regards to my subject, I want to keep up with the clinical trial that is going on, because it is the first one of human embryonic stem cells. It is a very important study, and doing my research in this class has made me very interested. Some of my classmates' subjects were really interesting also and I pay attention a little more now on the news if I hear something interesting about it.
