Blogging in FAU

Hi Blogsters!,

Today is our last blog post so I'd like to write out the blogging experience this semester. First off I really enjoyed reading (and occasionally) commenting on your blogs. I would have liked to comment more but finding time is not always easy. 

I think the post I enjoyed writing most was the one entitled "Something you feel passionate about". It reminded me of how much I love reading and all the great authors I've read, from childhood favourites like Enid Blyton or Arthur Ransome, to Kafka, Dostoevsky, Herbert & Kerouac in my teens and on to my current favourites of David Mitchell & Haruki Murakami.  It also made me see how obsessive I am about reading and reading different authors. If I like one novel, I then set out to read everything by that author.

Maybe my least favorite post was writing about "What you did last weekend". Don't get me wrong, I loved writing about my weekend activities but maybe a lot of you spent your free-time studying or build models so that might have been less interesting for all of you to write about. I think the most difficult post to write was the special meal as there are too many to choose from.

I honestly don't have a favorite blog. I enjoyed reading about all the things you've done or your opinions on different things and I loved reading all your comments. I guess the most interesting think for me as a teacher is seeing the progress you all make as that is very rewarding for me. At times I worry what you think about the blog as I know it can be difficult to motivate yourself to write about something if you don't find it beneficial or interesting. So, I truely hope you enjoyed the blog experience and found it a useful English learning tool.

I look forward to reading today's posts and I hope you enjoyed learning together this semester.
