Final Thoughts

Well, the paper has been submitted, reviewed and returned and while most people would be elated with the score I received, I cannot help but feel a bit disappointed. I revised this paer so many times that I lost count, and am just frustrated that I am still struggling with such a basic concept as comma use. There in lies my weakness I suppose and as such will be my focus both in my other classes and outside the classroom. I tend to be a perfectionist and am very hard on myself and a loss of 15 points for punctuation mistakes is huge in my book (because I feel this is something I should have mastered by now). Looks like I will spend my "break" researching comma use and the rules governing such. Merry Christmas everyone and best of luck as you each continue ahead in the rest of your classes.

and that's a wrap!

Having nearly finished my paper I am both relieved to have it done as that marks the near closing of yet one more term, as well as nervous in wondering how well I did. I am a perfectionist by nature and am also very impatient. The wait for grades to come out nearly kills me. While I have been on the president's list every term so far since starting here at Kaplan, with every assignment, quiz, etc. comes the same fear of "did I do well enough". I can only hope the answer to that will be a resounding yes and finish out the term knowing I worked hard and did the best I could. All in all I feel I have learned a lot qnd am glad to beable to now focus on the holidays and an upcomig move. happy holidays to you all!
