Blogging

    In the beginning of the semester when Mrs. Crocker announced we would be blogging my stomach sunk. The only blogs that I had read were the blogs that my family members have made. Their blogs typically are about their days around the house cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids. I figured it was a way for the homemakers of my family to brag about their “Susie homemaker” life styles. I enjoy cleaning and taking care of my son as well, but the last thing I want to do is write about it!

    I try to leave as little of a foot print on the World Wide Web as I possibly can. My Facebook profile is on private. I only add people that I know personally. So, the thought of my personal life being splashed across a blog site was not something I was not excited about. In the directions it stated we could avoid using personal situations and information if we wanted, but I knew that in order to write blogs that people would enjoy reading, I had to use my personal experiences. I doubt I will continue to blog after this semester is over. Even though it wasn’t horrible, I just feel like I don’t have much to write about, unless assigned a topic. My life as a mother is boring enough; I don’t think I need to bore the world by writing about it. Also, the privacy settings are not strict enough for my liking. Facebook is really the only form of blogging I will continue to use. I can post pictures, comments and stories for family and friends to read.

     Blogging hasn’t been all bad. I like the fact that we get to see what other classmates came up with for their blogs. It is interesting to get a glimpse into their lives. Usually you go through a semester hardly even speaking to your fellow classmates, but in our case we got to read stories about each other. I have enjoyed so many blogs this year it is hard to even pick a few that were my favorites. Amanda’s blog was a fun one because I got to read more about the girl sitting next to me in class. The title of another blog had something to do with golf and poker. I found that one interesting because he talked about being in the military. My father served his country for many years so I could relate to the writers struggles. Yet, I enjoyed something in all of them. I wish the class best of luck in all your future endeavors.
