Helpful Blogging

Before this class, I was not really a blogger of words, so to speak. I have Tumblr accout, which is a unique blogging site that allows me to post videos, chats, texts, pictures, audios, etc. Check it out --> http://alilyofthevalley.tumblr.com/
But as you can see, I did not really do too much full texts posts, or anything that really takes a lot of time, and thought, I guess I could say.
This class allows me to reach out and exercise that part of me that I wouldn't normally use. I'm forced (in a good way) to do something I wouldn't normally do.
I'm challenged by it.
And I'm growing...
not just in my writing and academic abilities, but in life (as lame as that sounds hahaa). I can understand books a little better. I've learned techniques to understanding things. I've even learned how to pray better.
At the end of almost every blog, I sign off by saying something along the lines of "continuing to learn more and more from this class". It is completely honest! And blogging is what has helped me to learn so much.
There is something unique about blogging that is different than just class discussions. On here we are allowed to carefully choose our words, go in depth about a piece of work, and dig into our own minds to find purpose in meaning in what we have read. Class can be very beneficial, don't get me wrong. But there's something different about sitting down with just you and the text and evaluating, recalling, and studying. Blogging allows to do these things!


Re-reading the Guide to Blogging didn't actually strike any connection for me. I'm actually slightly confused about what the Professor actually wanted us to find when re-reading these instructions. It did help me though, to re-introduce how to write a blog correctly. I went through some of my older posts and looked at how well I had followed the criteria or not and saw how I can change in the future!

This adventure of Corrigan's 2 pm Intro to Lit class continues to amaze me,
