hmmm... interesting

Alright world, Here I go again. A friend, Karl Becker, insists that blogging can be a good thing. He is one of the smartest people i know, so for know I will believe him. By the way, when he runs for president in 25 years every one should vote for him. I have read through the Top 10 lists that I collected from my students in English 110 and was imressed with some and confused by others. For example, it seems that a couple of people did all of their brainstorming on the same sheet of paper as their top 10, and as result made it extremely difficult for me to understand what they were doing or even which list I should be looking at. I hope that their Top 5 is on a separate sheet of paper. Some students were very creative with their topics, which made me happy and even laugh out loud in some cases. Others were very personal, and missed the point of the list. Although they were moving and heart felt, it was almost akward to read some of them because it was almost like reading a diary entry. Hopefully, the next assignment will be better and have less confusion associated with it.

Blogging

Alright, I am not quite sure I am "in to" this whole blogging thing, but for the sake of keeping an open mind I am giving it a shot. Writing has always been a very personal thing for me, and writing in a manner that is appropriate for the eyes of my peers and students. I hope that I don't get to personal, and if I do let me know. So here it goes, I am a science geek who has decided to try her hand at an English masters' and so far so good. I have to admit that my Graduate Scholarship class is absolutely insane! However, i will not allow myself to fail and I will survive. Blogging seems kind of pointless and irritating, isn't it just a bunch of people whining and telling their worries on line? For real, i think that writing in a journal is much more personal and plus you can hide it somewhere and no one esle can see it, but on line.. THE WHOLE WORLD CAN SEE IT! no matter what you do someone can still find what you write if you writing in on line. Hopefully my opinion of this blogging stuff will changing.
