The most exciting part of this class for me has definitely been the class blog. While other networks such as Google+ and the Class Wiki were not only slightly negligible and rarely contributed to class efforts, the same cannot be said about the class blogs.
Given my own inner nature, I am oftentimes drowning in a mental sea of ideas and endless words that seek expression more often than not. All throughout the day, the inner clockworks of my mind are going through not just the days events and what could have been said and done that wasn't; but also through various ideas for creative projects I will eventually attempt, the myths and legends that all young men in my age group are burdened with, countless fantasies of myriad varieties, and impulses coming at me in every which way. I go to bed at night and often cannot sleep from the oceans of words that flood my mentation at such a constant and consistent rate.
(This is not to say that others do not have rich mental atmospheres. Only that part of my life ambitions and creative pursuits, revolve around finding ways to channel all of this in ways that would do me well.)
So when I learn that we would be blogging in class, my heart silently skipped a beat out of the knowing that I had legions of useless information and ideas to pour into the internet for my colleagues to ponder. For the longest time, I have always wanted to write a popular and successful blog, but without an audience, nor a consistent theme with which to attract an audience; I was at a loss.
I still am at a similar loss; but this tool in class has been such a joy and treat to peruse and it has truly been the highlight of my class time with Hamon.
Bon Appetit
