When I look back over my blog I can really say to myself “THANK GOD IT’S OVER!!!!!” Blogging was one of my weakest aspects of English class. This blog taught me to remind myself every week of what I have to do. I may have hated this blog but it taught me a lot of lessons like getting 0 out of 20 really does lower your grade. Also it taught me it’s not the best idea to wait till the last minute to do my blogs. Although this lesson may still need to sink in (as I type this on Monday at 9:00) at least I realize now it’s not good to procrastinate.
English has been great this year and as the year wraps up and I look back on my blog I can definitely tell I’ve learned a lot. At the beginning of the year I wasn’t exactly the perfect student. As I look at the dates a lot of my blogs were published I can see I may not have taken them too seriously. As my grade took a slight hit I can see I started to get the picture. This would be the reason I have about ten blogs that were all published on the same day.
As we look later into the year my blogs started being published…… around… the time they were given to us and with the extra time I got to put a little more depth into my blogs and a little more personality into what I was writing like when I said “She’s been screwing with almost EVERYONE in the novel and look what happens in the end..... SHE BURNS TO DEATH“. It’s almost as though I was there giving my own sarcastic opinion.
Although I like to joke about it I was definitely a slacker at the beginning of the year, but after the constant look of disappointment I would get from Mrs. Gilman every time I had missed a blog. I knew I should probably change. Well…. Here I am Tuesday night, the due date for the BIG blog with the thought of a disappointed Mrs. Gilman lingering in the back of my mind I hunch over the keyboard typing away making sure to get my point across. My point being…… IT’S ON TIME!!!!! Yes. That’s right Mathew Geisler’s blog is ON TIME. No more making up. No more zeros.
And to thank I have Mrs. Gilman. You’ve made freshman year one of the coolest freshman years ever. It sucks that we won’t be having you next year to make us feel guilty about not doing our blogs. But after this I don’t think I’ll need Mrs. Gilman to remind me and let me make my blogs up. After everything this year I’m pretty confident the rest of my high school will be fine. Who knows maybe in a couple years when Mrs. Gilman’s staplers disappear suspiciously and end up duct taped randomly around the room, she’ll remember…….. Wait that’s 500? Okay all done!!!!!!!!!!!
