THE END... MAYBE?

Blogging has been a very interesting and helpful experience for me. Before this class I was not very savvy with blogging, and my interest was growing as I heard about the blogging world growing. I will admit when I first walked into this class and heard what we would be doing all semester I thought "What the hell is going on, we learn how to blog in college english now." It only sounded like a interesting idea, not a educational one which is what I'm going to college for, but either way I didn't have a choice but to buckle down and give it my best shot.

So as we started to look at blogs that very first english class I came to the conclusion that the good blogs we read about were ones of deep interest to the author, so I knew I had to write about some thing that interested me. I picked religion because it is some thing I have spent a lot of time on and know it fairly well, I was not comfortable at first to pick an out there topic.

As I moved along during the semester I got more comfortable with blogging and decided to try some new types of blogs... my "NFL" blog and my "Answering the Questions" blogs are what I came up with to skyline myself with attempted new ideas. I believe I did a fairly good job, the best I could have with my little experience. If I did it now with my experience under my belt, I realize I could do a better job. One thing I would like to figure out is if an experienced blogger could tell we weren't "real" bloggers. I think if I changed my mindset to being a blogger on my own free will it would have been different. We knew we only had a set number of blogs we had to complete, and also for a grade, so I wonder if this altered us from the rest of the blogging world?

I learned a lot in this experience, and realized that it was not only interesting, but also educational in today's world. I am glad I was able to learn about blogging through a english class, it just goes to show me that we do learn important things in college whether I realize it at the time or not. I better keep learning things that I think are pointless at the time, because I never know what it will turn out to be.
