CC2 unit 7: 3 questions and a look see

Hi All,
I have not posted for about a week!
Things have been going on, and I am sick. Not serious sick; just a bothersome cold that makes me want to nap all the time. My nose is chapped from blowing it all the time too, ouch!
I hope you all had a happy Christmas, and are going to have a good New Year too. I made sure one thing was going to be better for me. I consolidated all my debts. I will now be out of debt in less than three years, or even less time if I can help it. I get my new mortgage in about a week, my modification, that took me all year to do on top of everything else. I guess what I am saying is I am not going to let these companies push me around anymore. But I did it legally, and without bankruptcy. It was hard to do for sure, but worth it!!!
On to unit 7.
Q1. I personally hate doing it, peer reviews. I feel like anyone who has enough gumption to even turn in a paper should get credit. I know it has to be collegiate and professional; however, I am not a professional. I do not have the right to evaluate an others' work.
Q2. In my paper my Ah Ha was when I realized the name of my paper. Thallium is a necessary evil. They need it to look for cancer; it is in the equipment lens. They give it to patients to follow the route of the thallium and find a cancerous cell or cells. Then the people that have access to it can do other things with it. It would be another paper to find out their clearances for access.
Q3. That the element thallium is still available. It lies in between mercury and lead, which are both illegal to put in a human body, yet they still use thallium. I do not get it. They say it is safe in a small amount. How safe is a small amount, what is a small amount? You are talking about a poisonous heavy metal. I would not put that in my body!!
Thank you, Happy New Year.

Good Morning,
I feel like a one legged woman in a butt kicking contest. In other words, I am running in circle's; trying to get everything taken care of before the end of the year. I am actually getting there, go figure.
This is the first time I have ever posted so late in DB, I figured that I am doing double duty this week; I can afford a little extra time. I am doing my post for DB unit 7 on top of this one so...
Well on to work, see you guy's in DB and then again in school next year.
Thank you all,
Lara

Hi you guys,
I am kind of down in the dumps today, missing Rodger. I received a sympathy card from the Vet. Just re-opened the sadness; it was very nice though.
I am working on my paper. I may not have my DB in today because I have such a weird topic. I need to get it order. I am going to sign off quick today, just wanted to say hey! :-) ...
Thank you,
Lara

Hi Everyone,
I am just checking in today. I have so much to do in both classes. I am really going to take advantage of the time off. Even though it really isn't for us. Meaning that assignments are still due. I just keep thinking about Jan. 7, 2009. That was my first day of school. So, one year down for me in a couple of weeks. I cannot wait to graduate. It seems like it is going fast; then it seems like it is dragging on and on. I guess I am just impatient.
Well, talk to you later. I have a lot of things to do.
Thank you,
Lara

CC2 unit 6 Q.2

Hey Gang,
School starts in an hour so this is a quick one. I have been busy all day trying to do one of those debt consolidations. I have it done, I just want to make sure I have everything I need to put in it, in it. If it is true, it will be a big, big help!
On to the question.
I have done these, formal papers in school, in almost every class it seems. In this class I was able to choose my own topic. The thing is, I chose a topic that takes a lot of investigating; I love that word! I will not even know all the answers by the time this unit is done, because no one else dose either. This is an unknown topic. What I mean is, it is not as if we know what to do about this substance, thallium. It is still used legally; however, people use it illegally to kill people. There is no conclusion.
We know Lincoln was shot; that is true and a conclusion. But did you know he was buried 10 times? It is one of my favorite stories. I wish I could do a paper on that.
Well, take care and see you in class in about half an hour.
p.s. I am doing a little better today, Rodger wise.

CC2 unit 6, here we go...

Hola!
Well, on to the outline now. From what I have read in DB, all of us may have a chance of doing it correctly. :-)... It is actually just an organizational tool, in my eyes anyway.
I am getting a little bit better from the loss of Rodger; I am still kind of numb though.
Question # 1.
I think you can see how my last week of school went. I am a basket case about Rodger. Other than that, it has been smooth sailing except for the quiz. I am such a horrible test taker.
I will get it all together though, I have to. You know why, I get really mad at myself when I mess up. That is not a good thing when you are already depressed about a big thing. I just need to have a big giant cup of "Get a Grip" tea. Have you guys ever heard of "The Republic of Tea"? I by all of my tea from them. I have gobs of it, and one is called that.
I am actually going to see if I can get a job helping someone take care of their twins in the morning. That will take my mind off of other stuff for sure.
Well, I have to go get ready now. See you guys tomorrow.
Thank you very much,
Lara

CC2 unit 5, end of week

Hey Everyone,
I lost the fight yesterday with Rodger. He collapsed, and that was it. I am so sick to my stomach about it; I can hardly think. I feel like giving up to. Rodger never left my side; I could not even go pee without him making sure I was going to come out of the bathroom okay. How am I going to go tho the bathroom now? I have to make it seem funny to just get by. I do not know what to do? He was a big golden retriever. I am going to get another dog. Rodger was my best friend and I had to sign the paper to say you have my permission to kill him. I am sad. I know he was so sick, I saw his blood work and x-rays, he needed a blood transfusions, probably surgery, and more than likely to no avail. I believe he had a bleeding tumor. Well, I always move ahead, I have too.
I will see you guys in class on Thurs.
By the way, I did lousy on the quiz! I think that 20 minutes is WAY to stressful. Maybe that is the point. To see if you can handle it. I cannot, I am a very stressed out test taker. I could study for a year, and still get things wrong.
Thank you,
Lara
