Hello to One and all:
Yes, Amen, the final grades are out and I am rather pleased with the grades...College Comp.II - I received an A., my Anatomy & Physiology II - class, I ended up with a B- however, I feel really disappointed in my grade here, I'm sure it would have been much higher if I had not been interrupted with a family emergency while taking the final exam. (I still will not complain with what I did end up with though).
Hope everyone had a pleasant week off...ready to get started on the Fifth term, which once again, will be very challenging for me as I will be doing the College Algebra II course, and my math abilities are the weakest area for me of all things. I shall also be taking Diseases of the Human Body (which the text book, looks overwhelming)... this shall be interesting to see how I manage through these courses.
Then afterwards, I finally shall begin my clinicals...I am nervous, and excited about this aspect. I am also hoping to possibly get offered a position once I finish. (I am desperate for a job at this point in my life).
Take care, hope to hear from someone soon... It has been way too long.

Hello and Farewell:
This will more then likely be the last class posting. I've added a few photographs of myself towards the bottom of my blog profile page if anyone would be interested. I am Eight months old with Santa, Dec. 1960...then my High School graduation photo, in my parents front yard, June 1978. Boy does that bring back the memories.
Now, I am finishing up this, my fourth term (second round of college), 31 years have past, I am still learning, and maintaining to get ahead with a family of my own now, along with the grandchildren. I am praying that by my return to school, it will show them that an Education is something no one can remove from you. You, yourself earn that right, You may own all the worldly posessions you ever wanted and in a matter of the blink in ones eye, it can be taken from you. However, the education remains forever.-
Keep striving to learn something new each day, cherish the friendships you make along the way, and when one decides to stray, Pray to God, they find the proper way back...
Best wishes to one and all in whatever your future may hold.
Friendship for always,
Madelyn (Maddie) Mandina

Peer Reviews
Hello Everyone,
I love peer reviews on my papers for the classes which I need. Peer reviews are a great way to get some advice and input from someone other than just family. Students whom are going through the same thing you are have more insight to what it is that Professors are looking for also. The classmates, give feedback as to how one may improve their paper, or simply just by commenting in a nuetral opinion about what they have read.
It is reassuring one another if nothing else. I appreciate all the comments I receive, and I do in fact take the advice of others. It is just another way of learning something very valuable. So Please, do me the favor and comment, (good, bad, questions which you think may help improve the content of the final paper). Thank you for all the help, encouragement, and friendship of this class.

Welcome to the New Year 2010
Well, Looks as though I and my family made it through yet another year...Hopefully this new year will bring many new adventures to us all. (Including all of you out there in this blogging age).
I've never made a new year's resolution before because it seems as though nothing ever goes as planned... I know, I need to think positive more often, and so I think that this year is going to be better., I am going to think positive because, the Negative cannot get worse than it is already... Sound like a winner to everyone? My computer keeps saying "feed me" and I've no idea where it is coming from...it is frightening actually.
Any way, I wish everyone a Happy and Joyous New Year...may the classes continue to go well, and this is the year of graduation so it has to get better...Positive thinking all the way, I am going to do this, This is My Year of CELEBRATION...

Christmas is Over...A New Year fast approaching.
Hello to one and all... Wow, I've heard of cancelling Halloween a few years past however, I did not realize that Christmas would ever come to this...Churches in surrounding areas of Nebraska, Omaha- cancelled Christmas Mass, snow is so deep no one can get anywhere. My family is still trying their best to come over (December 27)- grandchildren 4 out of 7 haven't been able to get into my neighborhood. Gifts are still under the tree.
Neighboorhood is finally getting dug out and Yet, my vehicle is buried under in my driveway, I have a little Saturn Wagon, snow has drifted up over it, barely seeing the top of my poor little car.-
Doing my best to get motivated here to get my assignments for Units 7 & 8 finished. A&P II- no seminar yet we have assignments to post...wow, what a vacation. It will get done, today...no if's and but's about it...
Hopefully everyone out there is doing well and had a Blessed Chirstmas, May the New Year be joyous for one and all.

Christmas is Coming - A New Year too...Rejoice
Christmas Greetings to one and all,
Life here in Omaha,NE has been quite an ordeal for my household...I am without work since October 10, 2009...trying my best to keep up with assignments in school, looking for work, helping with grandchildren, and housebreaking a new puppy, (whom thinks he is the King of the house.)-
I finally put the Christmas tree up today, and now I am blogging my little fingers to the bones...trying to bake cookies for my little gift trays in which I do each year for the families, (My parents, the in-laws, and a few close, dear friends...)- so much to accomplish, so little time. LOL... Santa will be here before we know it.
I'm hoping he will leave me a package with lots of Knowledge, Energy, and Self Confidence...I definitely need all three at this time.
Things can only get better, If God has lead me to it, He shall see me through it. I firmly believe this. I wish you and yours a Blessed Christmas, and a Joyful and Beneficial New Year...
Be Well, Maddie
