Blogging Reflection

 Well, this summer semester has been interesting that is for sure. I enrolled in my first online class, my first summer class and started a blog. I am all about trying new things but I was skeptical about the blog. I wasn't sure if this was something I wanted to share with everybody. I couldn't decide if it should contain deep thought provoking entries or plain information about daily life. I used it as a journal, writing about this, that and nothing in particular. I am still not fond of the thought of keeping a daily blog as I write in a journal and often post to Facebook. It did become a habit and was hard to write in a notebook on our trip to the lake instead of typing it all in. It is a different type of writing style. Sitting at my table typing in the computer vs lying in my bed writing in my journal. I enjoy writing my thoughts and ideas down so adding the blog wasn't a big deal but there were days I had no interest in writing. If dedicated writers do this daily then maybe writing isn't my cup of tea. It does offer a person a way to express thoughts and opinions or ideas and dreams to friends or peers that they might not be able to express in words. A blog might also be a good way to stay connected with loved ones, although there are other outlets for this like Facebook and Twitter. I enjoyed reading the other students blogs, seeing how they chose to write in their own blogs;even how they decided to design their pages. It was an interesting experience although I doubt I will continue this once I complete this course.
