i never had a 'blog', to say the least but i have written in journals for self writing and for school entries. the first time i had auctually 'blogged' in a class i guess, would be my senior year in highschool. everyday we came to class the students had to pull out the journals and start writing, ten minutes non stop. at first i didnt like it because it hurt my hand! lol but i then went on and continued doin it, even after i graduated. it was a nice way to gather my thoughts and understand my self a bit better, i guess because the words were in front of my eyes and not jus thoughts. i could go back and refer to the things i did and how i felt.
i guess this class wont be so bad. since thats pretty much what im doing now.the only difference is its on a computer, pushing keys, and nt on paper writing with a pen. for the most part i like writing on the computer better because its faster to me and i feel i can be less formal. most of the times when i was assigned a 'work' in ighschool it was hand written and had to be turned in so grammar punctuation and all that good stuff had to be correct.and i knew there was someone, whetheritbe a teacher, or another student reading my wrk, there would be sumone expecting thingss from me. expecting me to be 'correct', whereas when i feel its just me i jus write what come to mind and how it gets there. i prefer being less formal when i write because most of the time im writing about the way i feel and its written how i talk. i knw its bad to write like this, in fact i hate it when others do it...(what a hipocrit, lol) well with everyday life. idk i guess i feel theres a time and place to be formal and less formal. if im writing for self then id rather write shorthand, if theres an assigment that requires correct grammar, punctuality, and spelling then i make those changes.

Nice entry.
ReplyDeleteIt's not "bad" to write informally, or to write about yourself, but unfortunately we have to write about other things in other ways sometimes.
