My last blog, for real. <--most uncreative title yet!

So, I lied, this my last blog. As I sit here in english class I must write another blog. I think this is kind of funny - blogging about the blog. Anyways, I have diverged from what this blog is supposed to be, a reflection. What have I gained from the blog? What was it's purpose? These are the questions that I am supposed to answer.
This blog has given me a chance to express my thought on some issues in a different way than I would have had I not been in English 101. I normally would not blog on a daily, or even weekly basis, or probably at all, but I do find it helpful as some sort of a release. It's a good way to get things out of your head and get them somewhere. Although the blog entries were supposed to be reflective and deep for the most part, it also gives you a chance to comment on recent happenings. I enjoy telling stories of things that have gone on lately in my life and doing so in the blog allowed me to search for what I have learned from these experiences rather than just letting them pass. It's also a good time to "talk" and say what you want withough being interrupted : ) I even found myself at times wanting to write on the blog because I was so upset or distraught about something that I had to let it out...Thank goodness most of these times I did not have access to a computer : )
Overall, this blog has been helpful to me in several ways. It has taught me to draw deeper meaning from typical everyday things, allowed me to express my feelings, see what other people think (when they comment on my blog), and also get into the heads of others. I enjoyed reading other people's blogs and often times I've found myself agreeing with people and actually looking to see who this person was and if I saw them around I would talk to them about their blog. It gave a semi-bonding experience. But if i didn't agree, commenting on their blog was a non-confrontational way to discuss the disputed issue.
I learned many things from the blog even though at times it was hard to post. I did not always feel like doing a blog or reading and commenting on others', but here, at the end of the assignment, I'm glad we did it. Looking back I would have done this blog a little different. I would have taken it on with a better attitude than I did at the beginning and probably blogged more often now that I see the benefits of it.
