Blogging has been a new a fun experience for me.  I haven't ever really blogged before this class, but I think I'll try to continue to do so afterward.  It's just fun to sit down vent my thoughts.  I don't really think blogging has been that difficult.  I have a little trouble getting started sometimes, but once I start writing I have those 250 words before I even realize it.  I think that has been the most surprising part of blogging.  It's easy to just go straight from my head to the screen.  I'm also surprised at how fun this is.  I find myself getting all giddy as I express myself on this screen.  Honestly, this open ended topic is my favorite kind of blog post.  I don't feel constrained by a topic based on specific readings, or anything like that.  I can just say how I feel and it makes me feel good.

I have to say my reading and writing habits have changes a little bit since this started.  My writing style feels similar to how it used to before, but I find myself getting more personal with these blog posts.  I don't really like formal writings, so I really gravitated towards the informality of blogging.  I don’t know if my reading style has changed significantly, but I have been looking for things that I wouldn’t be looking for a year ago.  I find myself looking for strengths, weaknesses, and tone much more than I used to in the past.  I also find myself looking for interesting parts of my classmates’ blog posts when I get bored.  I really enjoyed some of the blog posts people made that weren’t part of a prompt.  Those posts felt more personal, and gave me an insight to their interests.  I have to say that blogs are one of my new favorite writing mediums.
