Writting Assignment 1: How do you feel about blogging.

My experience so far with this blog can be described in one word : slow. I have a little bit of previous blogging experience from a couple of months ago. It was required of me to set of a blog for a summer program I was accepted into. Coming back onto blogger.com after a few weeks of being home from camp brought back a lot of memories of people I haven`t seen since july and who I miss terribly. To be honest, I`m a bit bitter about having to write on this new blog, because it means that the summer is officially over.

I actually really enjoyed designing my blog. I love picking out templates and matching colors. I think that doing my AP Psychology work online will make it a lot more enjoyable to do. The way I see it, blogging can either really help or make handing in assignments much more difficult. Since the majority of teens check their emails and facebook account multiple times each day, doing homework will be more convenient. But on the other hand, the internet is a very distracting thing and I`m feeling like my procrastination could get a lot worse. Only time will tell.

At this point, I`m okay with having my work posted on the internet. I find it hard to believe that random strangers would come onto my profile to read my writting on psychology. As long as this blog remains solely for academic purposes I have no problem sharing my thoughts. On the other hand, I`m not the kind of person who would have a blog for personal reasons. I`m too much of a private person for that. I`m hoping that this course will challenge me in that area. That I would become less afraid voice my opinion.
