Never have I ever…blogged (well not before this class at least. If I’m being as honest as I can be, I’ll have you know that I was NOT too thrilled about doing this, especially not for a class! Actually, I think that most of this English course was me looking over the syllabus and thinking “Oh gosh” followed by a deep sigh. I thought professor Perry’s creative style was going to be a bit too much for me. However, I am so glad that I got this experience!
Our second project was a digital one and that was a bit different. It was definitely out of my comfort zone and I thought it’d be hard, but it was the total opposite. I enjoyed working on it much more than writing a traditional paper, sometimes it’s okay to do things different than the way you’re used to. Of course, blogging for a class is also one of those things.
I enjoyed the idea of blogging for a writing class. It keeps you actively writing, and this was very beneficial when it came to writing my papers. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to catch up with the blogs and other assignments due in class. Fortunately, I was able to do to it! I think I’m beginning to enjoy the idea of blogging. I’m considering about doing this on a personal account as a matter of fact.
I would like to encourage others, as I have mentioned before, I plan on being a school counselor someday. There is so much negativity going on in life, so it’s nice to read something inspiring for a change. I think this would be an interesting hobby to take on!
I to was very concerned about this class and the professor at first but as it turns out this was my favorite class and professor this semester. I enjoyed being forced out of my comfort zone and jumping head first into new writing styles such as the blood, writing about social justice and even the books we read were entertaining and thought provoking. I appreciate the mental exercise and ultimately feel that I’m a better writer for it. Though I have not posted much on this blog, I have found that expressing my thoughts through writing to be quite therapeutic as well as a good mirror for observing, analyzing and critiquing ones thoughts. I wish you luck in your career as a school counselor.
