Blog Reflection

I felt that the blog experience was a very good one. I dreamed about writing a blog about my work for a long time. I wanted to let people know what servers like me go through on a daily basis. I wanted to put to rest any closed minded assumptions and misunderstood ideas about my job. I feel that I was able to express my feelings and accomplish these goals. If any body reads it, great, if not oh well. I said my peace and that’s that. I am going to continue to blog. I think it is a good and creative way to get your feelings out there.

My challenges were primarily laziness and procrastination. Here we are a whole two and a half weeks after this assignment was due writing the reflection. I also at this point have 11 blog posts. The few original blogs I have written up to now have been very entertaining and relieving. I got a lot of good writing down on “paper”.

I liked the freedom of this project. There was nothing I didn’t like about this project. I just made it a lot harder than it really was. You basically wanted us to free write for 10 minutes a day. Unfortunately, in the famous words of my electrical teacher, “Electricity is like Humans, it does the least amount of work to get the job done. If there is an easy way out, it’s going to take it.” I just didn’t do them. Well if you don’t get the blogs graded by the time you get back from Orlando, I will have made a pretty reasonable dent in my blog entries. Evidently, am totally cool with getting the low grade I deserve. I am an adult and I did it to myself and I understand the consequences of my actions and take full responsibility for them.

As far as changes, just from taking your class I feel more fluent about writing. I appreciate more than anything the idea that practice is what makes you great at anything including writing. You promote creativity before mechanics, and I appreciate that.
