I'm Bloggin It!

Before the semester started, I had no clue what a blog was. I'd only heard of it in passing. Stereotypically, I thought it was a self made soap-box for people who felt they knew more than others, therefore everyone should read what they think. I assumed there was a strong degree of self-indulgence and arrogance involved. As usual, stereotypes and assumptions are fair from the truth, in my experience. Through the semester, I found it was more about creating and sharing and less about getting people to jump on your bandwagon - whatever your bandwagon may be. As a class, we grew closer just by viewing the layout and color choices of our peers. We gained insight into their thoughts, and caught a glimpse of their personalities while at it. I must admit, I despise such self advertisement sites such as facebook and myspace (yuck). Our blogs were much different than those, though. It was a casual, more open area. I was a little intimated when we first found out classmates would have access to our writings through our blogs. The initial fear faded fast, especially because everyone in class was so kind (thanks guys!).
And now... this is it: the (dun dunna dun) final blog. It was a neat experience. I don't think I will continue on on this Internet venture - I'm more of face to face kinda gal - but it was fun. I'm glad I can at least say I've done it; it's good to try everything once. And I no longer feel I did when I started... I think they call that learning. Hmm...good times. sweet ass. peace out guys!
