BLOGS

So the year has finally come to an end and it’s my time to evaluate how well the blogs worked. For me personally, at first, I thought blogs were a hassle because of the fact that it took a lot longer to write one and that we were stepping away from the conventional idea of writing in our notebooks. However, after writing a few blogs, I found that blogs were very convenient and an easy way to transfer what I was thinking quickly down into the computer. Throughout this whole process, it was really hard to start off a blog and to get an idea in my head. However, this short yet frustrating time period made me think a lot harder and made me write a lot more efficiently. In my notebooks, I am very repetitive with the words I use, the ideas, and in general, the writing is repetitive. However, with blogs, I am forced to proofread my blog and from there, I am able to delete out certain phrases and cut down on my repetition. I must say that I miss using a notebook but I do believe using the computer to transfer our thoughts down was not a bad idea. In college, I plan to continue to blog and still write thoughts down in the notebook. I believe that we must learn to live whichever way, whether it be writing on a computer or on a notebook. We must be able to adapt to our environment. As the end of my high school career is coming to an end, I must say, having this sort of change at the end of my senior year was a very fun and exciting thing to experience. I can say to all the underclassmen that it was our class that first started off with these blogs and will be able to boast about how I was part of Mr. Watson’s Composition class.
