Can you believe it friends! The semester is coming
to an end already and this is our last blog. I can hardly even wrap my brain
around that. I mean I feel as if we literally just started this class and were
assigned blogs. Where has all the time gone?! I swear the older I become the
faster time just flies by. I honestly dreaded taking this class before the
semester started thinking it was going to be like every other class that the
extent of writing is only academic research papers but I could not have been
more wrong. I am so so so happy I received a 8 on the WPA and was able to take
this awesome course. I honestly have enjoyed being able to write in so many
different genres. This semester was a lot about writing in a way that we can
express ourselves. As students we are always asked to write about what other
people think and this class we actually go to write about our own view and way
of thinking. I found that really liberating. I feel like I have become a better
writer because of it. I used to hate writing before this class and now I am
considering one day that I want to write my own novel!! Woo!
As crazy as this sounds to me (because at the beginning of the semester
upon hearing we had to write blogs my stomach dropped), I have really grown to
LOVE doing these blogs. I think they are just so so fun. It is nice to just
talk in a tone that is my normal voice! Happy and cheerful! I mean in academic writings
you cannot use this many exclamation points!!!!!!!! Pure excitement is portrayed
haha. I also like how you can personalize the look of your blog. The way people
personalize them gives insight into the way they are like. I am highly
considering starting up my own blog when this class is over. Who knows what I
will write about and I can guarantee no one would read it. But hey it is kind
of like journaling in a sense where you get all your ideas on "paper" and just
have fun with it. I love being able to upload pictures, memes, gifs, etc. It
gives it a nice personal and real touch to the blog. Sad this will be our last
blog of the semester but I have a feeling it will not be my last blog I will
ever write. I am considering rewriting one of my journals into a blog post!
Whoop Whoop! Thank you for everyone who has read my blogs at one time or
another. It has been such great fun reading everyone’s as well. Much love to
all of you.

I have also come to enjoy the blog assignments. I am not really one for reading blogs or blogging in my own time, but it was enjoyable to engage in this genre when you thought about it in terms of creating an identity kit. It made the assignment more interesting. Enjoyed your blog.

Hey Allison!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about how this course went by so fast! I feel like i just got used to how things are rolling and then comes our last blog assignment... I actually really liked these blogs too because it's a way I've never really written before since I don't keep a journal or anything. And you can use a million exclamation points if you want!!!!!! LOL I remember picking my classes during the summer and this course was one of my two only options that fit my schedule but there was no teacher listed so I couldn't look them up! I decided to just go for it and take a chance and I'm so glad I did!

So am I allowed to say that I feel the same exact way? I absolutely dreaded doing blogs this semester, but being able to read everyone else's blog and get to know that much more about them makes me feel a lot closer to our classmates and I actually look forward to writing my blog and seeing what others have to say...plus it helps that the prompts are flexible or even fun. I've come to like blogging and I think it's so convenient that it's stored online so we can access it whenever, wherever. I might continue blogging...we will see. It was really great to be in this class and I hope all of you guys make it out there in the world and make the most out of life.
