Last Blog for English 101

Writing a blog every week was not easy. Sometimes I wrote it late, a few times I had nothing to write about, often though, it helped me understand how I was growing and changing during the first semester.

I can't say I enjoyed writing the blog. Many Sunday's, on my way back to MC, I would shout, "I forgot to write my blog!," then have to run to my dorm room and reflect on a week in which I could find nothing worthwhile to write about. It is difficult to reflect and write about someone who is constantly changing and evolving. I look back on my first few blogs and remember what I was going through. I think the blog assignment helped me get through a difficult time. I had chosen a college I was not sure about, came to school without friends, and began to try to sort out what I was to gain from Mississippi College. The blog helped me work through my thoughts. Even if I didn't write as personally as to let the reader know exactly what I was going through, just sitting down to write and having to reflect and think was almost a therapeutic act.

I had a lot of interesting times this fall, the presidential debate, visiting all of my friend's colleges, going home to a house that isn't really mine anymore, we even had fun in our blog with mine and Jared's pretend breakup.

I know when I am no longer at MC or even in college for that matter, I can read my blog and it will take my back to what I was feeling at that moment. These blogs will always be a look into my life during my freshman year of college, and I hope to enjoy reading them a few years from now. I am sure that on occasion I will have a memory lapse on a Sunday afternoon and yell, " Oh no, I forgot to write my blog!"

13. Can't focus.

So I can count on three different occasions today where I have sat down to study for finals, and end up not studying. I have to learn to focus or this week will end bad. I have test in all of my classes unlike those lucky people whose teachers canceled their test. I know that after I put the work into this week I will be able to enjoy my break more. I cannot wait for Christmas holiday! My mother, two of my friends from college and my little sister are going to New York right after finals! Oh, and my ex's aunt and little sister, which I am hoping isn't awkward. But, I love New York during the winter! Broadway shows, ice skating, snow in Central Park, it really is the best time of the year there! My mother is a complete Chinatown fanatic! My dad refuses to go with us this year, because of the previous trips when we drag him to Soho and Chinatown for hours on end. This year we are seeing Wicked! I cannot wait. We haven't been able to see it yet, and I hear its amazing. Well I just needed to get all of my excitement out, so maybe I can focus on studying now.. ha ha probably not.
