MY BLOG EXPERIENCE THIS SEMESTER.

We all have tons of things we want to say or express, but most of the time we don’t find the time or space to do so. It doesn’t have to be something deep and poetic… Sometimes it’s just words without a hidden meaning and we still feel the urge to share them with someone not even expecting an answer.

This blog and this class gave me both the time and the space to do so.

As I’ve said before, one of my biggest passions is writing and even so for the last year I haven’t been able to enjoy it as much as I would’ve like to. So having the instance to just sit and write this blogs has been refreshing.

Other positive thing I take from this experience is that it helped me to finally take a step forward into improve my English. Reading in this language is something that, by now, I’m used to… but writing was another whole new and frightening level for me. I had tried it before and stopped without been even a hundred words in. I guess I never felt prepared to keep going and it gave me anxiety to not be able to fully express myself. Here, I’m obligated to carry on with the blogs and after twelve of them I can see how much I’ve learnt. And now I also know I’m not going to stop after this class. Maybe I still don’t know the best way to say what I want to say, but practice will take me there.

From all the blogs I’ve written so far, three of them are the ones I’ve enjoyed the most.

The first one is called “WRITING”. The tittle is pretty self-explanatory so I won’t get into much detail; the reason why this blog is one of my favorites is because it was the very first one I wrote in this blog.

Then we have “THE PERKS OF BEING BORED” –again, the title explains itself–. That blog contains some of the thoughts I’d had for the longest time. You know when something finds its way into your head and won’t leave? Well, that’s what that blog is. Having the opportunity to express all I had to say about that topic was great.

Finally, we have “SHUT YOUR QUIZNAK!”. I remember being so angry while I wrote this blog and now, going back to read it, it’s just funny. This blog helped me to explode in a safe way. I literally threw up all the words that came to my mind without even minding if the made sense at all. The only thing that mattered was to get all that rage out of my system. Here I leave you a graphic description of me writing SYQ. 

Now, because not everything can be all sweets and rainbows, there was one blog that I both didn’t enjoy as much as the rest and that I had a hard time trying to write. “A SPECIAL MEAL” wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. It was just so… boring to write about it? And that’s probably because I haven’t had any big meals in my life? Or maybe I just don’t see them special? So stared cracking my head in search of something interesting to write about and still… nothing. The consequence of it? The shortest blog I’ve ever written.  

Well, we are coming to the end of this blog. But I can’t finish it before comenting with you a blog of one of my classmates I liked. For me what does the job is “A FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH” from Ceci’s blog. There are not many words, but she still is able to capture all the meaning her photo has in two paragraphes. I really enjoyed it!

Okay, I guess there’s not much more to say? If you made it this far in my blog, or if you just read only one of them, or the half of one… still, thanks for your time.

See you soon!
