Under the influence....

Right now I am under the influence .... of school that is. I have not be in school for 12 years now. It was very confusing when I first started. When I was in school, computers were not a big part of my life at the time and this is my first computer since AOL charged by the hour to be on the internet. Yeah, I'm a dinosaur when it comes to computers. I have not only learned a lot from school but I learned a lot about how to work on a computer just by figuring out how to do things for school. Schooling through online has got me more up to date in today's world of computer technology. I am also faster at typing since I first started a few months ago. I even bought a smart phone the other day. I really am trying to keep my head above water when comes to technology these days.

The beauty of plagiarism

Plagiarism is actually a beautiful thing. Let me explain. Without plagiarism there would be no such thing as getting credit for your work. Think about Einstein! Where would be today if we didn't where we came from. Isn't that a saying? You don't know where your going unless you know where you have been? Believe it or not, I could not find the person who I would give credit to for saying that. But it matters to me to look. I definitely do not want to take credit for somebody else's work. I know if I worked really hard on something or discovered something I want the credit I deserve. Everybody knows money makes the world go around. So how are you going to get paid for an invention if there is no protection against thieves. Another thing to think about is that if no one person got credit for there work then nobody would share their secrets with the world for the fear of thievery of their work. Plain and clear the world is a better place when proper credit is given.

Loving the life of an online student

Well, I really like being an online student. I can access my account 24 hours a day. I work two jobs. At one job I work during the day 5 days a week and the other job I work 1 day and 3 nights a week. I am a very busy woman as you can tell just by the hours I work . I am also a single mom. Thankfully my son is old enough to sit around and play video games or go out and play with his friends. Basically, he is self entertained. Back to why I love online schooling. On the nights that I work I usually don't get home until about 33o in the morning and I am not ready to go to bed. So, I will log in to my account and read the discussion boards and if Ito do school online because I get to be at home with my son and do my school work at the same time. Now that's what I call multi-tasking. I don't get much time to myself so online schooling is the way I can get a higher education and make everything work out for me. I can't wait to start my new career. It's exciting and scary all at the same time but a good scary. That at least means I am worried about doing a good job when I get there. After this I would like to go to school to become a registered nurse and I hope they have some classes online with program that would be really great!

Not Sure What to do here... I'm new too the blogging!

Ok, I'm suppose to type 'my reflection' in here. So that is what my professor says anyway. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. And that's all I have. If you have any suggestions... I'm all ears!
