Personally
blogging was a very interesting way to remove pen from paper or get away from
the typical essay and do something out of the ordinary. This was not my first
semester blogging but at times I still found it difficult and challenging to
create a worthwhile blog. From the very start it made me go above and beyond
what I’m comfortable with and I appreciate and enjoyed the experience.
Blogging
gave another outlet for my writing, and gave a chance for a bigger audience to
hear what I have to say. It showed me there are other ways to write and give a
message out to people. With the thought that more people can read it I had to
take it more seriously because of the responsibility, let alone the grade for
the assignment.
I
thought blogs were a great tie-in assignment to our discussions and our writing
projects. They were very useful to get more out of our project and others
perspectives. I believe that they helped with my writing and also gave me the
chance to steer away from the projects. The self-generated posts gave me a
break from the essays and I was able to discuss topics that I’m interested in.
If I didn’t have the opportunity to do so, I wouldn’t have liked blogging as
much because it would have just been another assignment.
Blogs
must stay! Even though they were difficult at times they were very useful and
fun. I liked reading what others posted, most were very fascinating. Although
this may be the end I can’t truly say goodbye. I’ll never know if this is the
last one Ill post because I don’t know what the future holds, I may miss it.
Although I may not know if this is my last post I do know this is my last time
I’ll be with the same group, so I’d like to take the time to say goodbye to my
classmates and Prof. Chris. I wish you all the best of luck.
