My First Blog
It is my first blog I am writing with the mood of uncertain. Telling the truth, I have waited an afternoon for someone to post the blog, so that I can have a better understanding to write an “appropriate” blog. I checked the meaning “blog ” in Wikipedia, and have the answer that a blog usually maintained regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics of events or video. It is very match with those good examples that professor posts latter on the day about a good blog. Combining the things I read, blog sounds to me is a free place to share my stories and views with others by writing. It should be a place that I like to write more than on the paper because blog has more space to create the writing, and interact with others through comments. It is more alive!
Personally, this class sounds very interesting for me today because it seems so much different from those English classes I have before. It sounds much creative. Honestly, I do not think I am a good writer not only because I am a Biological Sciences student, also, English is not my first language too. However, I like to write (especially using back my own language) and yearn for the feelings that write out what to want. I think once people can freely express in words, writing is amazing, so as English!
Hopefully, this blog will be my good starting for this class, and it will not make people feel pain to read.
I am looking forward to see my improvement process right here in blog!

Joanna, I am very glad you linked to the Wikipedia definition of "blog" in your first post. First, as you saw from the "what constitutes a good blog" post, including links is important because they help the reader understand where and how you received your information; they are a form of citation. Additionally, links may expose your reader to something new. I had not checked Wikipedia for "blog," yet, for example. Tomorrow, remind me to bring up this issue of the journal entry and the blog as a medium for personal thoughts. I think this is something we need to discuss further as a group.
Joanna, I completely agree with your post. It seems that the more technology we get the less we seem to have to work at anything, including building real friendships and relationships. I have often thought about your first point, the special effects used in movies. It seems that eventually everything that was enjoyed in the past such as live theater will be replaced by special effects. Movies today dont even have the need for real actors, as we can see by movies such as Beowolf where the actors were animated. Moreover, you often hear people commenting on how impersonal it is to send emails. Yet it is true almost everywhere that emails have replaced letter writing.
