The end!!!!!

I really enjoyed writing the blogs this semester. I honestly don’t think that it is an experience that changed my life but it was interesting to read about my classmate’s interests and lives that would not necessarily have been shared in a class setting. I think that is brought us as a class closer together, and we are much closer because of it. This is on the account that we know so much more about each others lives and each others interest.
Our class community versus our blog community, I believe are very different. Although we as a class are very close, and usually pretty open with each other we are still in an academic community. Therefore when we get of topic we have to be brought on topic, we do not openly flat out disagree with each other out loud (most of the time), and we don’t always say our opinion to each other. In our blogs however it is much easier to be honest, it’s also much easier to disagree with each, because there is no immediate reaction. Most everyone has at some point gotten off topic in their blogs, with is also more natural, and more of our own personalities.
Our blog community compared to other online communities that I have belonged is very different. Our blog community was a much more academic then any other online community I
have belonged. Facebook the only other online community I have belonged to is much more personal, and more of a reflection of your own personality.

Almost Over.....

This semester is going by so fast…I can’t believe that we only have five weeks left of school. The craziest thing for me how much I don’t want to leave especially, because I really hated it here first semester. I used to count down the days till I could go home for the weekend….and would dread the day I had to come back. But now I can’t even explain to you how much I love it here. I love the freedom to do what I want…But even more I love the friends that I have met here. They are people that I have become so close to in such a short time…and people that I consider to be the best friends that I have ever had. My mom always used to tell me about her college friends, and how they were all in her wedding, they were all there for each other when their kids were born, even now that is has been around 30 years she still visits them….and I am so excited to get to experience that…and I feel so lucky and fortunate to get to of met all my friends.
