Good to go!
I think I am starting to get this figured out. I have never blogged before so I had a few hiccups in the beginning. I'm kind of a stubborn person and will keep trying until I can get it right. In this case, that trait came in very handy. So now I am up and running and I see all of you have made it as well. I'm sure this will be an interesting ride. I definitely think my favorite part is that we don't have to cite and use references. That always makes me procrastinate on getting a paper written knowing I have to do that. I actually need to focus on the work and not the worry so much about the APA requirements. Part of balancing it 24/7 I guess. And so off we go...........

I had a hard time figuring out the APA style until I started using http://www.citationmachine.net All you do is fill out the information in they do all the work so it is in the appropriate style format. I hope it helps you out as much as it has helped me. It is nice to meet you and I look forward to hearing more from you throughout this course.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you. I can use all the help I can get. I am definitely going to add that site to my list of favorites. I'm working hard to get caught up at this point. After the storm last week, we are still trying to pick up the pieces from all that we missed throughout last week. It's nice to meet you as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Crime of the Century? I am still scratching my head over the title of our exercise this week.
ReplyDeleteI listened all the way to the end.Mostly because I wanted to find out what the crime of the Century was but I really enjoyed it as well. I'm a visual person to start with so maybe that had something to do with it. I have always spent time with my kids when they couldn't sleep or were stressed out in a very similar way. I just made it up as I went along. Who knew that I was actually using this form of relaxationfor the past 34 years?
Listening to our recording this week was both challenging and excellent. The first time I listened to it, I kept getting distracted by who to choose for one person choices and the music intervals were long enough for me to be distracted. I think the first time I listened I was thinking that I needed to listen to get that part of my weeks studies out of the way and that's why it was so challenging. So I gave it a second shot and gave myself plenty of time to finish. Second time around was very nice and I could easily understand why she said at the end to listen twice a day! I stayed focused and went into it choosing the first person that came to mind and stayed with that person. I think the fact that I can listen over and over frees me up to not worry about who I am thinking about. The musical intervals were very important once the focus was there. I felt calm and yet energized, happy and hopeful, kinder and more patient the rest of the afternoon. All good for me and those around me.
