Reflection Time!

Blogging has certainly been an interesting experience. I found that even though blogging is more liberal when it comes to form and organization, I still had trouble putting my words onto the page. Maybe the dry spell of nothing but problem sets and lab write-ups chipped away at my fragile frame of writing skills, or maybe it was that I was so overloaded that I never had the time to think about what to actually say. Maybe I underestimated the blogging experience. Whatever it was, I was surprised to find the difficulty of trying to say what I wanted to say in generally 500 words or less. And even though this is true, I still find the blog to be an interesting experience. I like the style, the way I have my own page, and the way I'm part of this vast and growing community of bloggers. Not being much of a writer, my internet habits generally consisted of reading. This blog has been my only outlet to writing, and it's made me more confident in my online writing abilities (if that's a thing). I've even contributed to a few wikipedia pages, if only in a very small way. I still think that I'll continue to use the internet as an entertainment and quick-fact hub mostly, however I would like to continue my blog past this class. Maybe under a different name with different subjects, but I would like to continue this. I look forward to blogging some more in the future! :D

  1. I really like the informality to blogging. Though we are being graded, it's in a different way. I've never really academically written informally, it's a lot different.
