Blogging

I now realize that having a blog about a class allows a student to explore the extent of his or her own knowledge in a comfortable setting.
Whenever we, as students, write about a subject, we prewrite in our heads and begins thinking before pen touches paper of fingertips to keyboard. When a student writes about an experience in class, thinking about the subject is done before and in the act of displaying our thoughts. These thoughts and understandings of what we know are exposed on the page and allows a student to identify any holes of understanding. This is a common advantage about writing in any subject but blogging provides something unique in the atmjosphere in which the conversation is given.
Due to the causeul nature of a blog, the blogger is free to apply personal feelings and resposes to the information. In other settings writing is simply used to illistrate a student's grasp of the material, but in posting on my blog, about my thoughts allows to personal reflection.
Blogging is fun and i am glad that i was exposed to this new form of communication. i hope i will keep it up, but this may be my very last blog...only time will tell.

Two More Weeks of Classes

Wow my first year of college is all but over. I still have two intense weeks of school and finals but now things are coming to a close. I thought of this while I was in my Honors American class because I just have ONE more class and then that is it. Just one more, it feels so strange while simultaneously in all my other course we are on the last page of the syllabus...counting the class periods with both hands. then one. then I go home. i realized how much i will miss the atmosphere of BYU when i go home. I return will not be as drastic as some, since i live in SLC, but not waking up to learn around other young members is something i am going to miss even though i assume my mind will be busy with focusing on my impending mission. Before July 1st though i will look back at the wonderful people and my fondest of memories i shared with them here in that setting. it will never be the same...i will never be a freshman in college ever again. I will never live on campus again...never have a meal card with "fake" money to spend.

All will change drastically in the next two years and by the time i get back BYU will be a differant BYU.I hope all the the bad will become good, and the good will get better.
