The End of Reflecting

During this process of writing, my thoughts of have changed about reading and writing. However, my actions have not changed. Instead I just have started to realize more of how I am writing and reading and what works best for me, and how my surroundings are affecting me. Instead of this whole blogging thing being a hassle, I somewhat enjoyed reading and writing about literacy. I can’t say I didn’t learn anything from this experience. I learned to sit and express myself for at least 250 words hah. At first, this was my biggest challenge. No not the expressing thing, but the 250 words thing. I though at first that the blogs could not be over 250 words, but that we could not be too far under the mark. Until about last week, when professor told us how to gain an A in this assignment, did I start to writing more and expressing my opinions. Now I find myself writing more than double the required amount. This is no longer a chore, but some what of a liking, due to the fact that I get to express myself, not to mention, I get more time listening to music, since I listen to music to get my brain and train of thought going.
This entire experience has been a fun and interesting one. I went from running around trying to turn these posts in late, to double tasking eating and typing posts in Nelson hall, to finally doing two posts 12+ hours before they are even due. This last post especially is like a diary or a way to reflect upon what is happening in my head on a certain topic. However, once these blog requests are over, I won’t feel upset about ending my blogging “career.” Instead I will be somewhat happy that I won’t be rushed or be forced to read something that I am not that interested in. However, if this is my last post, I hope you enjoyed my some \what interesting posts as much as I did. Fair well general public. Until next time?

  1. At first blogging was a hassle for me too but now after realizing how informal it could be and the stream of conciousness style of writting I am doing I am slowly starting to enjoy it. It helps me put everything else on hold and just talk out what I am writing. However, I do like the somewhat deadline he has given us. It forces me to sit down and actually write because without a deadline I would be slow moving for sure.
