MY LAST BLOG POST EVER (or for a while at least)!!!

Yay! I'm done with this blog!
One less thing to keep up with!


I have to make this a real post, so I wanted to talk about the area I feel that I have strengthened during this course. That area would be using APA format. Until this term I have not had to use APA format, I was always taught the MLA format. This transition was not a welcomed one on my end at first. It took me 10+ years to learn how to properly use MLA format, and stupid me thought that it was all I would need to know, WRONG. MLA format actually makes more sense as far as it's reference layout and the in text citations, but it's just such a pain to learn something new. But between this class and my other class, where my professor is a stickler that everything has a reference (giving me lots of practice using APA format), I think I've done a good job acclimating to this new format for citation. I really wish Kaplan had sent me the textbook for this class, it would have made things much easier! Now that I've done the legwork I think APA format will be easier from here on out, but it's just too bad I wasted so many years using when in the end I would need to know MLA for my career. C'est la vie, now I know both citation formats!

Can I say it again? YAY MY BLOG IS OVER!!! :)

It wasn't terrible, I didn't mind it. Free-writing is fun, but only when you have time for it. Maybe sometime in my future I will revisit the blog world, but I definitely am looking forward to a vacation from mandatory writing for a few months!

Goodbye Everyone! Good luck & May God Bless You!
