I think all assignments, regardless of what type they are, take some getting used too for people. After getting used to the blog I think it was one of the most enjoyable assignments that I ever had to do for a class. Not for the reason of doing the excess work, but for the simple reason that it was done with each other. You get to know a little more about people than you would just sitting in class with them. Assignments would be carried over in to conversation topics outside of class as well. I thought the fact that the one girl from our class even had a job offer from the simple reason that the person that happened to read her blog liked the way she wrote.
In life, you never really know where it is going to take you. I have understood that if you start to look at things as more of a privilege than a task, the easier it is to like. People all over the world are dying for the opportunity that we have to get to go to school. For me to complain about some little assignment once week would be selfish and unappreciative of the opportunity that I have been blessed with.
The blog has been a good way of reviewing what has happened in class, talk to your classmates about it, and get some feedback to look at your interpretation from a different light that you would never thought of. God willing this blog will be one of the ways in which I will keep in touch with the people that I have met in this class.
I always thought about my vision for the future, without this blog I would've never put it down in writing to the point where I actually planned step-by-step to get to my vision. That was the second part of the vision process, the planning. The planning phase to get me to the action phase. Maybe this was the way that life guided me to get another stage in my vision completed.
I like the fact that we were in complete control of 20% of our grade without having to study for anything. Just a little bit of effort took you a long way in your grade and I love that. All in all, great job on the blog Kurpis. Don't change anything about it and it should be one of the things that your course should be known for. You think outside the box and this is an example of practicing what you preach, this assignment is a good "purple cow."
