The End of an Era

     Overall, I really enjoyed our blogging project for AP English. It was nice to be able to write with less restrictions on topics and so forth, and really allowed me better insight into my fellow classmates' writing styles. I definitely found myself spending hours a week reading everyones blogs, and I never found a blog I didn't want to read, or loss interest in. At the beginning of this blogging project I was frustrated with having to come up with two different topics every week, and trying to keep those topics related to English class. Also, when I would first log on and go to my Dashboard, I couldn't help but glance at other students blogs. Then I would freak myself out when I saw that someone wrote about a topic I was planning on writing on and other ridiculous things. It seemed even this blog project stressed me out. However, as this project continued I found myself enjoying writing freely about things that I had found interesting that day, or early that week. It became more of a way of expressing myself to my classmates rather than a project I had to do to receive credit. I sincerely hope Ms. Serensky lets us blog again next semester, so I can continue to grow in my writing while connecting what I learn in AP English to the real world and my peers in the classroom.
