So... I read Stephanie's and Dylan's blogs...

Hey Stephers,
i agree that the blogs could have been more personal, too! I always found myself completely straying away from anything english-related in my posts, but you brought up a good point: that these are public, and he has to make sure everyone is comfortable doing the assignments, which means nothing tooo personal. ALso, I like the prompts. They're pretty easy to follow because they give us an approach from which to write, but we can literally write about almost anything. Blogging has gotten easier for me with every post... I had no idea what to do at the beginning of the year, and now the posts are nearly effortless... It's weird that the year is coming to a close.

Hey Dylan,
Whoaa what a long post... anyways...
I definitely agree with most of the points you've brought up. Essays are okay, but there are so many restrictions and grading and expectations that so often just cause me to come to complete halts in my writing and my thoughts. With blogging, I never have to worry about sounding eloquent and making sure my sentences flow and have the proper length in comparison to the surrounding sentences... You get it.. I blog how I talk, because I'm really just being me, Melanie, the uneloquent student, and it's been easy to blog about these open topics because anything I need to write is already in my head. No outside research required!
