A Reflection of Blogging

Sad to say, this may be one of my last blog entries for this particular blogging site. As the semester rolls to a close, this is one project I’ll be finishing up today. It has been a good experience, the blogging thing. Before this, I never would have thought to make time to create, edit, and regularly update a blog. It has given me a good reason to research something I am interested in, but without all the stress of having to do an actual research paper. This form of research, in my opinion, is much more effective. I would encourage teachers to resort to this form of research rather than papers, especially in business courses, whether it is a writing class or not. I feel that in business, we will use technology like this regularly to communicate with co-workers and bosses. I also believe it will be useful to know how to research and share your findings, so that team learning can happen. If I were a manager, I would find it important to be able to use technology to make your writing and research efficient. If you know me, you will know that my favorite thing to do is to be efficient. I’m not sure if it’s my job, or my personality, but it’s probably a little of both. In my job, I have gotten used to running an efficient kitchen; achieving goals without much effort I thought were very difficult when I started. I’ve been a manager at Pizza Hut now for just under a year, and after reflecting on a year, I have concluded that practice does in fact make you better. This assignment is a classic example of something that requires you to practice. I have gotten much better over the course of this semester at blogging. At first, I felt like I was pulling stuff out of certain places to take up room. Now, I will sit down, get a good idea in my head, and there is no limit to the direction I can take it. Most of the time I sit down with something in my head, and by the time I get done blogging, I look back and am surprised at the first couple of lines. I would have no idea how I got off onto the tangent I was talking about, but it was a good way to learn something. Sometimes, I wouldn’t even know that I knew how I felt about something until actually sitting down to write about it. In conclusion, this assignment was a good way to start making yourself an effective and creative writer, at the least. I strongly believe that is important for business writing.
