As the week progressed, my mind occasionally wandered to the blog, trying to come up with a creative and enlightened topic. However, all I could think to write about in my next blog post was how something in my life relates to English. I know with the new semester, blogs can be about whatever we like, and when I first heard this I smiled at the thought of having less direction with the blogs. Now, I still appreciate this new freedom, but it seems to make the whole blogging process harder for me. I cannot think of any intriguing, intelligent topics to ponder on my blog, and everything thing I come up with always relates in some way to English. I cannot escape the constant reminder of this class and it seems that I can now relate almost anything in my life to English class. Now, as I read through my post, I cannot help but laugh at the irony of a post dealing with English.

Don't Think About English!
As the week progressed, my mind occasionally wandered to the blog, trying to come up with a creative and enlightened topic.

Hannah, I agree that it is difficult to think of a topic not relating to English to blog about. But when I think about it, maybe the reason that we are having such a hard time is because we are connecting the assignment to the class too much. If you think about it, you can technically blog about anything that's on your mind. For example, you could talk about your favorite book (like Harry Potter) or something along those lines.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can kind of see where you're coming from, but I definitely love the new freedom. I find it so much easier to blog about stuff, since it can be virtually about anything. Not only does it take less time to come up with ideas (for me at least), but I can also think of more interesting posts than I normally would.
