It's Not So Bad After All

“What?! Are you kidding me?!”
That was my reaction when Emi told us that we had to maintain a blog for the semester as part of our grade for the class. Sure, I knew what blogs were; they were those online diaries that political super-junkies and Net lovers ranted on. Well, to be honest, that was my opinion of them. Now, I can’t say that I enjoyed posting to my blog everyday, but I can say that it was more enjoyable than traditional homework requirements. It was interesting to read the other blogs and see viewpoints that aren’t always expressed in the classroom, and I must admit, I liked being able to share my own opinions and get feedback. I don’t know if I’ll keep up my blog after the final, it could be fun, but regardless, I have Emi, Phil, and my classmates to thank for introducing me to this medium and changing my preconceived notions about it.
