Then there was one..

I have never had to blog for a class. I have had to create a web page or design a PowerPoint but never keep a blog. I must say I enjoyed it a lot more than having a journal or some other such contraption. Somehow writing about thoughts online is easier than by hand. As far as using my blog to develop ideas.. yea not so much. Maybe I didn't get as in depth with my blog posts and that is why I couldn't really use them to develop my ideas. I have never really been good at just writing about what comes to mind. I tend to think too much making spontaneous writing difficult. But somehow I can ramble on like there is no tomorrow. Overall i really enjoyed keeping a blog. i felt it was a cool new way to express ourselves yet be somewhat professional. I hope to get an original idea like a blog again in the future.

Will this be a happy circle?

In class today we did two editing "workshops" to help better our essays. I enjoyed them both. The first little group session really gave me ideas and useful feedback. Both Erika and Nicole sat attentively and gave me ideas in which to better my essay. I quite enjoyed this exercise. The second workshop wasn't as productive in my opinion. I did as the loose instructions asked.. but all that was apparent was what I was missing. I wasn's as sure of how to fix my issues.
