I've actually really enjoyed blogging. I think it's fun to write my feelings about the readings without it being in a classroom discussion. While I do like participating in classroom discussion posting it on a blog seems more judgement free. Like it's just me and my computer and I don't need to worry about any body elses opinion because chances are they won't read this. It's a lot less intimidating and it's easier to get my words out on paper because I have time to think everything through before saying it. I can also delete and rethink things.
The most challenging part I think is comparing two authors. When we have to compare two authors opinions I can find this challenging when there isn't a prompt. In class a teacher asks a question which gets the thoughts flowing but when it's just me and I need to come up with a topic all on my own it can be kind of tough. I've kind of liked this challenge though and I think it's kind of fun.
The most surprising is how much I've enjoyed it. I really didn't think I would like it so much because at first it seemed like a lot of work. But it's really easy once I get started. I think it's interesting reading every one elses because often times I have the same thoughts as other people which is interesting because in class not everyone shares their opinions because maybe they're shy or something so reading it I find interesting.
During this process, my writing has changed in the sense that I've become more open with my thoughts. At first I would say less controversial things but the more posts I've done the easier it is to say anything I want. It feels really free to write on blogs and I like being able to say whatever without worry about sounding dumb or anything in front of the class.
