Academic Blogging

I have never written a blog before, and I have only read a couple blogs in the past. This is a completely new and different experience for me. I do like to write, and I often write a journal in my free time to help express and understand my thoughts, but I have never thought about putting them on the internet for the whole world to read. Perhaps I was a little intimidated by the idea of posting my work in a public place but, now that I have started doing so, this whole idea of blogging seems a lot less intimidating and easier that I had thought.

I am a student at the University of Guelph-Humber and I am writing this blog to reflect on the issues that will be discussed in my Mass Communication class. I am required to write a weekly academic blog as a part of my assignments, but I am also excited to write it. I think this blog will help me to sort through the course material and organize my thoughts better.

If you are not a part of my class and you are reading this blog, don’t be discouraged – this is not only a place where I will ramble on about academic issues. Many of the topics we will be discussing in class are very interesting and this is a place where I can reflect on those topics and express my own thoughts. Who knows, I may come up with some great revelation that will completely blow your mind. I guess you’ll just have to keep checking in and reading to find out.
