Looking back and looking forward

I still remember the feeling I had at the very beginning of this semester upon learning that I would have to build and post regularly to a blog.  And I can't say it was a good one.  But being made to leave one's comfort zone is always a good experience, and I was no exception.

At the start of the semester, I had had experience using the MLA format, but was certainly no fan of it.  But due to a semester of writing using it, last week I found myself dreaming that I wrote a facebook status... with in text citations and a works cited page.  This is just one of the ways that I've grown through blogging.
Another way would be that I'm simply more knowledgeable.  I've always had an interest in factoids, and this process of researching my blog themes has only added to my (hopefully) ever-growing mental reservoir of information.

I understand for some the idea of blogging for 16 weeks seems daunting, or even torturous, but looking back, it has been very rewarding.  This does not mean it's always been easy.  But sometimes the greatest things in life are those that are hardest to acquire.

It's a metaphor, cuz life is a road, you see?  Ah well, never mind...

I should like to continue with this blog, as seeing it end here (as I'm sure so many have) would be a shame.  Stylistically, I have been fairly satisfied with my posts so far, but in the future, I hope to see my style and format evolve as I reach farther and deeper into the world of communication.  Over time I may even begin to see a community develop to join me in my quest.  Who knows what the future will hold.
BONUS: Remember my post about Time Capsules? Well there was a recent time capsule opened in Oklahoma.  It was 100 years old, and you can read more about it here!
