Well, overall, the experience of writing a blog has been pretty good. I've certainly enjoyed writing a lot of the things I wrote, even if they didn't net me great grades, but even if the structure is a little more formal and the standards a little higher than I initially thought, I've enjoyed the blog because doing unedited writing on whatever I feel like is a great time. I've always been a little pressed for posts, and a little personal responsibility might have helped it be even more fun; I think my parents would be a little astounded if they saw the time of night I posted most of my entries.
Frankly, I'd still much rather this than a written journal, because even if the expectations here are necessarily much harsher, I'd rather write semi-polished things with a keyboard than non-polished things with pencil and paper. It's hard to explain just how much I hate long periods of pencil-writing. My hand starts to hurt and my pencil gets dull and my handwriting gets sloppier and sloppier and terrible things happen.
