Hello all!!! Thanksgiving was a big hit! Everyone loved the feast I made and especially the pies.
I am feeling kinda puny still but cooking was no problem because I love it so much and I love to see people eat. I didn't get much school work done but am back to the grindstone now! See you all in class and in discussion! Laura J

Well this blog is on Writing a thesis statement and critical thinking. I am very lucky to be a critical thinker normally I know I can get better at it but I have a great base to work from. As far as my thesis statement I am still trying to decide between PTSD and Children of abuse and PTSD and children of deployed military parents. I think the later would be easier but who wants easy right? lol
I am doing better from my surgery but I am still in a lot of pain and still sitting on my old lady donut...LOL It's a beautiful day here I hope all are as lucky to have a great and beautiful Turkey Day!! Lots of good luck and cheer to all.. Laura J.

This blog is supposed to be on Critical thinking and Thesis statement. I think I am getting the hang of this. My critical thinking skills are very tuned in because of working in customer service so long you have to think on your feet and I feel I do that very well. As for my Thesis statement I have chosen PTSD and abused children. I might go into Deployment PTSD in children, depends on my library searches I don't want to depend on just a couple articles for either. Well see you all in seminar. Laura Juracka

Well had to go back to the hospital and get more IV antibiotics thank goodness didn't have to stay the night but it was an all day process. Tired of it now just want this thing to go away so I can have it surgically removed at the end of this semester...
I love being an online student and don't want anything getting in the way of it. This has gotten me behind in both of my classes and I being such a perfectionist it has me very discouraged. I got 2 A's in my classes last semester and that doesn't seem possible this semester. I cried myself to sleep last night and am breaking up now so I will let you all go. Have a great week and see you in seminar.

Just got home from my volunteer work and again a rewarding day!! I am feeling better and have lowered the pain killers to almost nothing so the nausea has almost gone. I have been on the library site almost constant and have printed out about 4 articles that seem to be worthwhile in my topic. Hope everyone is having as good a luck as I am... Well going to take a little nap talk to you again soon. Laura Juracka Shuey.

Went and did my volunteer work today it is so rewarding!! I hurt really bad but it was soooo worth it. It is so sad that people need food. Just food to make it thru the month. Well getting back to studying... Laura Juracka Shuey

Hello everyone just waiting for class to start. The reading this week was interesting the formal reading was really hard to get through.

Well going to class now have a great day!!

Well my wound got really infected so I had to spend 2 days in the hospital getting IV antibiotics. No fun and I am in a lot of pain. Hope this week it gets better and that classes go well. See you all in class and good luck! Laura J.

Well I had a small outpatient surgery yesterday and I am in a lot of pain today. It hurts to even sit at my computer. I hope the pain eases up in a couple days. I have to have a major surgery as soon as this semester is over. I'm a little scared but I have a great surgeon. Well have a great day all!! Laura J.

New Classes.

Starting new classes is always difficult. Starting a blog is worse because I have never had one! LOL I'm a 41 yr old woman with A 20 yr old son. I live in Boise, ID and love it! I am thinking about moving to Texas in the next few years. I really want to succeed in life and my major, Medical Office Management. Well here is my first ever blog!!
