Blog reflection

Here is my blog reflection..This writing experience has been tedious. I have not written everyday. For two reason: first I just never could think of anything to write about. Two I couldn't ever find the time to sit and write about anything.. I have never been one to enjoy writing. With this class nearly over, I am still not a fan of writing. I have never been a very talkative person, while speaking or writing. I suppose I just have to be inspired and in the mood to write. Although I had tried looking at the creative writing prompts to help me think of something to write. It proved to not be very helpful. There were a lot of good ideas, but I was unable to actually be able to write about any of them. So my experience with trying to write everyday, has I believe not helped me. It I think takes dedication and a will to want to write everyday. All though I do see how people could argue that it only takes 10 minutes a day to just sit and write. But for some people finding even tha much time is hard.

Military Wife

I thought today I would share the poem I wrote to my husband. I had read it to him on our wedding day. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Military Wife

Beside my soldier I will stand
Though tears will fall from my eyes
My love will never fade away

A life as a military wife isn't easy
But it is worth every tear, every
Sad day, and every sleepless night
Becuase I know our love is strong
and will last a lifetime

Some people do not support the cause,
Some people do not agree
But what they do not see is that
These men and women fight so that
We can be free
No matter what they say I will always
Stand tall and say. "I am proud to be a
Military wife"

~Josh my love, my husband, my soul mate
I love you always and forever. I will always
be by your side no matter what
The world throws at us.~

This is my 3rd semester here at OTC. I've been an online student since starting and plan on continuing to be an online student until I finish. Although I am currently a stay at home mom, it is just easier for me to go to school online. By now I've become comfortable with the school. And although I'm a huge procrastinator and most of the time wait until the last minute to do my school work, I've still come to be comfortable with being back in school. But at first I wasn't, I was worried that I was going to be in class (online of course) with a bunch of young fresh out of high school kids. This was not the case of course. From the discussion board I learned that very few people in my class were that young. Although I am not old (27) I still feel old sometimes, then I have people who are actually old laugh at me saying "you're too young to feel old." But in my 27 years of life, I lived through a lot. Also from the discussion I learned that almost everyone in my class are all going for different degrees. For a moment I feared I was the only one who as going into Accounting.. But I was happy to learn that there are two others. I had asked the question "if you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?" And everyone that answered all had the same answer, right here in the good ole USA. Even though I said I would like to live in Italy, I don't think I'd be happier anywhere else but here. The freedom we have here, most countries don't have the same kind. But it seems alot of our freedoms are being taken away, or being threaten to take away. Such as the "smoking ban" even though I quit smoking, I do not agree with that. Because that is violating our cival rights. If people don't want to be around smoking, there is a simple solution- don't go to those places.. Anyway getting off topic. The dicussion was a great way to find out that although we all come from different places and our lives tell different stories, the one thing that showed common for us all is that family is the most important thing in our lives.

Breaking the habit

     I enjoyed smoking; it was a good stress reliever. I didn’t smoke a lot, but from the point of a doctor even one cigarette is too much. I knew smoking was bad for my health, but I still did it. I thought many times about quitting, a few times I did. But then the stress got to me and I’d start back up. And I’d say to myself “what’s the point every time I try to quit, I end up getting so stressed out that I start back up.” Then there would be times where I would only not smoke because I couldn’t afford the brand I smoked. But money would come in and I would start back up. My husband was in the same position as me.  Finally we decided that we should really quit because it would not only be better for our health but would save us a lot of money. So we finally broke the habit. It has now been six months since we quit smoking. Although it has been a while it is still sometimes really hard to fight the urge to want to go buy a pack. I will sometimes have days where I will be so stressed that I feel like I’m about to burst. But I just take a deep breath and say I do not need a cigarette. Then I will put some music on and listen for a while until my stress level goes down. It sometimes hard to not smoke, but I have broken the bad habit of smoking. Now the next habit I am still struggle to break is to stop drinking soda, or at the very least stop drinking so much.

My Reflection

My reflection is that the test come out to be right. I feel more at home, well at home. I don't like being around lots of people. Also I am a very punctual person, I hate being late for anything, even if it's my own fault that I'm late. I really don't like when other don't hold up there end of the work. I had also went and checked out the career choices for my personality type, and I found that it said that accounting would be a good fit for me. Which is exactly what I'm majoring in. I've had a few people tell me because of my learning disablilty in math, that maybe I should consider a different career. But everytime I take a test like the Jung typology, they all say the same thing.. Accounting.
