The end of semester 1 comes marching along, and I am happy to say I liked it. This was my first experience blogging, so i was a little skeptical at first. I expected to be writing every class but after doing the blogs I have decided that I liked them a whole lot better than the writing we would have done. Being gone as I was from class the day that the site was explained I was a little scared that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to work it, but when I tried to fix all the things you commented on it was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Having done this I think that I might end up continuing using the blog but who knows if I will find the time.
The fact that other people in the class were going to read my crappy blogs was a little weird at first but I noticed that no one ever says anything about it, that could be because of my extreme lack of followers though. I think I might have three or four of those. I think that reading other peoples blogs really helped me though. I got to see how they wrote and their differences from my own, and from that what I was doing wrong and that happened to be commas and vocabulary. Though your (molly) commentary on those same things helped me out too.
The fact that the blogs were easy to do and of subject matter that was easilly accessible really helped too, though we did choose the subjects ourselves at times. I think my favorite blog was the one which you gave us a choice to do on foods and things that pertain to it. Having worked at a grocery store in the past helped me do it fast and well. While I don't know if I am a better writer these blogs really helped me to express myself better and how to better my writing even if only a little bit.

Thanks Alex. It's been a pleasure!
