I have Blog fever!

How many of you guys thought the same thing that I thought when we were told we were required to write a blog?  “Great! One more thing I am required to do that I need to keep up with,” is what I was thinking.  I honestly want to say, I hated the idea that I needed to post blogs for a grade.  I had no idea in any way how to even create a blog much less how to write one!  The anxiety of having to figure out how to work blogger scared me to death.  I felt stupid!  Here I am a girl who loves to write in her journal and enjoys writing in her free time (I know I am a loser, DON’T JUDGE ME) and I have no Idea how to create a blog.  As time went by I wrote blog after blog, (ok, this is only my 4^th)  but the point is, I did not want to blog.  One time I even went to my friend and complained to her that I didn’t know how to blog and thought about just not doing it.  I really do believe that the word blog scared me because I had no idea what it meant. 

            To move along in my story, I finally created my blog, and spent about 45 minutes typing up my new post only to find out that on tumblr I was unable to copy and paste!  So here I was cursing at the computer close to tears from frustration when I finally gave up and took a nap.  I procrastinated a few hours I believe until I realized maybe I should try another blogging website.  That was when I found blogger it was so easy all I needed to do was create an account then there is a button that says create new post.  I felt as though the world was lifted off my shoulders.  Awesome!!! I finally figured it out and it only took me a few minutes!  I had spent so much time procrastinating and being “scared” of trying something new with my writing that after posting one entrée I felt sudden relief. 

            As I go on with posting blogs now I find myself related my blogs to a lot of the same stuff I write in my journal.  The only difference is that I somehow need to relate the majority of my entries on topics discussed in class.  I believe that I am starting to really enjoy blogging and in a sense I feel stupid that I was so frustrated with the idea of it being a graded assignment for my comp class.
