This is my first ever time creating a blog, and how sad that my virgin blog is born because it is required for a course module.
Before this blog, i never really understood the purpose of blogs. People say that you can create it for anything but i just didn't see the wonders of a blog. In fact i thought it to be a tedious, superfluous web page that took up space and time in your life due to the obligation to update it. Plus, i never felt the need to inform the world of my daily activities or trials and tribulations. If people wanted to know, they could always ask. I guess my traditional beliefs of expressing serious thoughts and feelings were best done face to face and exclusively. The closest thing to a blog i've ever done is posting notes on Facebook and that's about it. Yes, some notes are quite personal but they are not exactly direct forms of expression, because only those who know the background stories can really understand what i write.
The first time i recall using the internet was when i was 11, 2001. Even then i wasn't that big a fan of the internet until i started using MSN which changed my life! Now, every aspect of my life revolves around the internet. I use it for everything! I love the fact the internet is a giant encyclopedia for me to use whenever i want or need to. What i love are the generous websites that allow you to watch movies and tv shows almost instantly and listen to songs until you get sick of them.
When flipping through the syllabus i saw the word blog in bold which stumped me.... as i had no idea what we had to do even after reading the paragraph that explained the purpose of creating a blog for the course. I had to admit a little spark of panic lit because i hadn't the slightest clue how to create one let alone know what to write. But i discovered that creating a blog is so easy, but there's still the faintest bit of bewilderment as to how i'm going to continue writing stuff for each week...
Well, now that i've created my very first blog, which i hope does not mess up somehow. Computers and programs seem to be out to get me sometimes.. so i hope this blog will be nice to me. This wasn't so bad and i am slowly realizing why people enjoy blogs so much! :)
