Blog Post #5: Self Assesment

 In terms of the rubric criteria, my blog almost meets all the criteria. I need to remember to put my sources, I’ve done it for some but not for others so if I can consistently ass my sources at the end of my posts then my blog should great in terms of the rubric. There aren’t any aspects of these assignments that I would say are confusing or cause stress, I enjoy writing and doing research so all of this has been quite enjoyable actually.

I do put my best effort into each post all though I definitely procrastinate. I don’t really have trouble completing the work when I get around to doing it, the hurdle is just getting around to doing it. But have gotten better with my time management, it seems that I lost all of those skills over the long winter break. But when I do the blog post I revise the writing extensively, bad grammar is a huge pet peeve of mine and I truly don’t think I can physically submit an assignment that isn’t good quality because I will constantly think about the errors after submission.

I like the idea of other people reading my blog. In a way, it makes it more fun, especially because the format is a blog and not a formal writing assignment so I can be a little looser and have more fun with it. With that, and knowing that anyone can read the posts I create, I can write not only to present information but also to present that information in an entertaining way.

From this process, I have learned that one, writing a blog is actually pretty fun and two, blogs are a lot more common than I have previously realized. It’s one of those things where if you’re not apart of the community or if you don’t explore that part of the internet, you’ll never know how large the community is.
