Wow....this
is blog post #42. This has been a looooong semester. Normally this is when
people say “oh this is such a bittersweet moment” or “I am going to miss this.”
Great for them. For me though I am thinking, “hallefreakinluiah! Freedom!” So
anyways…back to the whole blog thing, even though these posts were kind of
annoying to do so often I felt like they made me a better writer. Why? Well let
me tell you. Since I was writing 3 times a week it made it so that I was
constantly writing. Between writing in
my journal, publishing blog posts and writing papers for other classes I was
writing at least once every day. I noticed that as the semester has gone on
writing papers has become easier for me because I am used to it. Sitting down
and just typing on my laptop is not that big of a deal. The more you do it the
more comfortable you are with it and the less scary it becomes. I also quite
enjoyed reading my classmates blogs because it was fun to see what they had to
say on certain topics and what was going on in their lives at the time.
I'm with you - the end of the semester isn't bittersweet, except for the fact that we have to get through finals first. The end of the LAST semester here might be a different story, but it's not like I won't be back.
ReplyDeleteThe end of the semester is always a great time. I agree with your observation about writing getting easier as the semester has gone on.
ReplyDeleteAmen...Amen. That's all I have to say.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that hallefreakinluia was a word
