Goodbye!

The blog consisted in posting what you wanted and how you wanted in a way that it would relate with the class. Usually, I posted works that were related to what we were giving in the class that week. This project helped me with my writing skills and how I expressed even though it is an informal or conversational style. This is something anyone could see; therefore, I had to give my best in every entry so that it would be interesting for the people who read it. 


Writing is something that helps you liberate yourself. We often endure situations in our daily life that may derail us. This semester I have fallen in love with it. This course has offered me several techniques that makes this process a fun one: the journal, life compass and now the blog. In this last technique that Dr. Pittmann taught us, we had to get creative and include media. At first, I didn’t know what to attach but then I started to research things that were related to the topic I was discussing and not only I had the media, but also I could add more information to the discussion. I noticed how in some entries I attached things that literally described what was going on in my mind while writing. 
         
This blog became a part of my daily schedule. I would log in and write new entries or checked my classmates’ blogs and read their amazing entries. I loved how each and every one of them created their blogs, in terms of the design. Also, I enjoyed reading their entries because they each had different opinions or saw things in another perspective. I laughed with pictures that were funny and got serious when talking about delicate topics. 

            
The semester has come to an end. To be the first one, I could say that, although it was hard to adapt to the university and deal with the classes, it was a very good one. There were times that I had to deal with a great amount of stress, but writing helped me reduce it. I can say that this project was my favorite one. I had the liberty to have fun while doing the entries. I learned a lot from this blog and I will definitely put to use what I learned here.

  1. Writing is most definitely the best way of expressing oneself. Often I would try to relate my blog entries to whatever I had been thinking about throughout the day. Also, writing is the most effective way to connect with others because written words do not expire. Written ideas have a lifespan that no other means of communication may offer.

  2. Erika, I loved your blogs. You were always precise when giving your opinion in any topic. It's important that people understand you when you write, and you most definitely achieved that. As you, I liked writing in the blog and being creative with the media.

  3. It's been exactly the same for me. I've enjoyed this activity very much and enjoyed reading all of your individual entries. Watching everyone get creative, like you mentioned, has made it even more intriguing. I think you've done a great job, and your honesty was always something I admired very much.
