I am a bit sad that this will be the last blog that I write for this class this year. Sometimes it has been a struggle to fit the blogs into my week but it really makes the members of the class interactive with one another. I like the blogs where people talk about their everyday happenings or when they get on to vent. My take on blogs when they first started to get popular on the Internet was, “who really cares?” That is probably a bad outlook but I thought it because it seemed like it was hard to know what the truth was through written words. People could say anything and it could not be true. But the truth of it is that it doesn’t really matter anyway. A blog is for the writer more that it is for the reader. Blogging has helped my writing and how I relate to others. I am happy I won’t have to blog this summer but I will miss some of the funny news articles and stories that we have shared together. It feels good to complete a year of college. It goes by so fast that I bet graduation will be just around the corner for all of us.
On another note I would like to share some of my summertime plans and ideas with all of you. Canoeing is what I have been waiting for all winter. One of my friends has planned a trip next weekend and I hope that I have enough money and time to go. I think that I will if the river is down enough but I am not sure that it will be.
Memorial Day weekend is when I wanted to go canoeing but I am afraid there will be to many people. That weekend is my birthday and I am finally getting a pair of boots from PFI where my sister works. She can get me a 20% discount because I am family and I already have an idea of which ones I want. I would love a pair that was five hundred dollars but somehow I am not sure that I will be that lucky for my birthday. But you never know, I didn’t think I was going to get a nice new car but I did. (haha.) All I really want for my birthday though is to go out to eat with my Dad, Sister, and Seth. I am really looking forward to the trip to Springfield that weekend. I am not sure what Seth has up his sleeve but I’m sure it will be wonderful as usual! Well Farewell fellow students!!! Have an awesome summer!!!
This blog thing is pretty tricky in my opinion! Here we all were thinking "what the heck?" and what a daunting task to write 2 a week. One having to be persuasive and the other about whatever we want?? I was thinking, "no one wants to read measly little thoughts in my mind". What a surprise I soon found reading all the entertaining blogs from my fellow class mates. If you notice when you go through the posted URLs on Discussion Board, several people did not make the cut and dropped out. I think all of us survivors learned a thing or two. Got to know a little about our classmates and if we are lucky a little about ourselves. I for one was surprised, how much I actually had to say once I got to writing. There was one blog that comes to mind that I realized all of sudden that I was 900+ words haha! Now that one I was getting carried away on for sure! Anyway, I wanted to wish you the best in the future, thank you for keeping us classmates entertained and GO CANOEING!! You deserve to relax, enjoy your birthday and enjoy the rewards to your hard work. Yes, there will be a lot of people out there, but as long as you are safe and do everything within reason I am sure you will have a great time!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you blogging has been great; and has kept us all connected as a class. This is the only online class where I feel like I know my classmates. I took Holly Chism's other class that had blogging and had to take this one as well, sad part is I never blog unless I have to but, after I do my own blog I feel so much better. And to think that other class mates come online and read it and put their two cents makes me feel better and I get advice from unknown faces. So, Thank-you for enjoying the semester with me!
