Comp II Outreach:

I realize that we are already in Unit 7 AND that we are having Peer Reviews this week. But, if any of you would like any additional (general) help with feedback on your papers, I am happy to offer classmates what I can by way of input. I am still getting to grips with the 6th Edtn APA, myself, but the Writing Center has a great handout on the newest version. My understanding is that the newer changes mainly relate to technical issues like the running header needing to be on the left side, subtitles in bold font, etc. Unfortunately, the green KU Handbook has very little specific detail on how to handle different referencing entries in the APA style. The purple version from last term, is far better in this regard, to hear tell (and as I've also discovered).

Anyway, please do not hesitate to contact me by emailing me via KU, or here. Or, you can connect with me pretty fast by contacting me via my Facebook profile: Annabel Temple-Furman, Redding, C.A.

Whether the Weather be: Overcast (57F/14C)
In the News: Egg recall as hundreds sickened (CNN)
Events of Note: Unit 7 DB and Readings/Anat&Phys Seminar 7

* Sick and tired, both-that's me. So, my blog entries, together with my time on the computer for school, will be somewhat restricted. I'm on day three of a migraine that alternates between vice-like gripping pain, and throbbing that also has the effect of making my throat ache. Some years back, I had a concussive head injury that landed me in the hospital for five days, and took me a year to recover from. My neurologist at Stanford thinks that my migraines are directly linked back to that original brain injury.

* Today's tasks will mostly involve additional reading, a bit of note-taking, and about as much time on the Kaplan homepage as I can muster, however briefly. Yesterday, I got my third Dean's List Honor's Award from Kaplan in the postal mail. That cheered me up. I have a President's List one, too, from earlier this year.

* There's been a change in the air, here, and the Seasons are on the turn, once again. We have a cold air mass that is meant to blowing down in here from Canada, which always brings a bit of a chilly bite to our weather.

Have a great day-see you on the Boards!.
