My English 112 blogging experience

I could still remember that very first evening I walked in my English 112 class. We were already on the second week of the semester and I had missed the very first class of the semester. Upon arrival to the class I met a professor who wasn’t very pleased with the fact that I had missed our first class, however after giving me an extensive lecture she went on to explain to me what the class was going to be all about, and also what I needed to do to make up for the class I had missed. After hearing from the professor that the class was going to be a blogging class, I then said to myself, what the hell is a blog? I mean, I’ve heard of blogs before, but I wasn't exactly sure how to create one, and most of all, I didn’t think I was going to be able to maintain one for the next eight weeks. But nonetheless, with a little hint of reluctancy I eventually chose my topic and wrote my introductory blog. In this introductory blog I told my audience a little about my personal background, then after which I went on to explain why I chose to do my blog on the subject of health and fitness. After publishing that very first blog I was now fired up about this whole idea of blogging for an English class. After all, I knew it could have been a lot worst; we could have talking about stuff like Shakespeare, which probably would have put me to sleep for the entire semester.

Then by the time we got midway through the semester, all of a sudden I felt like I was running out of ideas to blog about, and at that point in time, writing blogs started becoming less exciting, and more of a constant struggle to get through. For the next two weeks or so the only thing that kept me motivated was those weekly feed backs from the professor and also from the other student’s in the class.

To summarize my blogging experience in English 112, I would definitely have to admit that it was somewhat of a different experience from all the other English classes I had ever taken. And the fact that we were only required to write one major paper at the end of the class, made the experience a lot more enjoyable. Now that it’s finally over I’m certainly going miss receiving those feed backs, but nevertheless, I’m still going to continue blogging, because I think that if I continue to write blogs, it could ultimately help me to become a much better writer.
