This blogging assignment has made me realize that writing down my thoughts and feelings really helps me to organize them and understand them. However, many of those thoughts and feelings aren’t meant for any eyes but my own, which is my original objection to keeping a journal/diary. No matter how well you protect it there is always the chance that someone will find it and read it. If you try warning people away, it will make them curious. If you try making it look innocuous then someone might read it by mistake. The thought of someone reading my innermost thoughts scares the hell out of me, especially if I have written about them. But I have decided that the benefit outweighs the potential consequences, so I am going to keep an electronic journal on my computer. I will try to make it a goal to write something every day, because if I don’t make it a habit I won’t do it at all. Hopefully, some of the posts I will be able to post on here so that I don’t have as much to do. I hope that it will help to keep me sane as I embark on the crazy and stressful journey known as freshman year.

I think you hit it right on the head with your first sentence. I have to admit I wasn't a huge fan of this blogging thing the first time Ms. hickner introduced it. However, now by week three, i'm starting to warm-up to it. I've always had an opinion on the various topics discussed in our class page, but nowhere to write them. These assignments provide a place to put the thoughts in my head on virtual paper for others to see.
