Blogging

This semester was the first time I have ever blogged.  I did enjoy doing the two blogs per week.  It was fun to write about topics that I enjoy and being able to just write without worrying about grammar errors, etc.  I do think that it has to help with our writing skills.  Just to sit down and write about 1000 words a week in general would help, but there were some topics that we may have had to do a little research on. It helped to prepare me for the papers we had to write.  The only real complaint I have was running out of things to write about.  That should be the easy part, but I found that towards the end of this semester I had a hard time coming up with topics to blog.  I am sure I was just thinking too much about it.  It could have also been that this is my first time to ever blog.  Maybe it comes easier the more you do it.  I also did enjoy reading about what others wrote.  I especially like the plain casual blogs that talked about your week, or a bully at school, or just talking about your family or friends.    I feel like I actually got to know my online class a little more this way.  When you are forced to be more involved it makes for a better semester, like you’re not the only one out there.  Sometimes these online classes can make you feel alone.  The blogs helped me to remember that I am in a class with other actual students that have real lives.  For me, it was very interesting to read about.  As much as I did enjoy reading what others have blogged or blogging for my first time ever, I will probably not continue for now for the simple fact that I am busy with the kids this summer and working.  I am sure that probably isn’t a good excuse but that would be my number one reason.   I know there are more of you that can relate to being busyJ.  Have a wonderful summer.  Be safe and enjoy your time off of school.  Next year is my last year!  Yay!  I am so excited.   Six years later, I should finally be done with my degree.  I wish everyone well!
