I love to write, I've tried the everything, the diary (when I was younger, oh the drama), journaling, poetry, short stories, and at one time even a book. Now remembering I have written about eleven chapters, I should finish that book one day... I am excited to start blogging, some people groan when given this assignment, I squirm with joy! “Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” ― Anton Chekhov I love writing so much because it's my own individuality going onto a blank page, I can describe something as in-depth or as bluntly as I want. We were told to create a blog and that we would be blogging about basically our experiences while we interact and expose ourselves to more of the digital world. It was a little foggy at first what the direct guidelines were for each one of our blogs, or how I could make them sounds less formal and directed. So, I took this project in like I would a letter, kind of, I would simply express my feelings and be honest. I had make sure I was answering the questions we were told to have in our blogs, but in an invisible way so that anyone reading them couldn't pick out some choppy sentences. It's fun, I think, to be able to just write, about things I am interested in. I'm very interested in this class, therefore writing about my journey further into our technologically-advanced world is an easy thing to write about for me. To start my blogging I went on a road-trip through the internet, stopping at rest stops, or at websites that looked appealing for creating my own page. This trip led me to my final destination that is Wix.com It had many different layouts and accessible options for me to create what I wanted. Of course, anyone that know me could understand I went too far on designing my webpage. But, eventually I steered myself back onto the road and began writing about our Tech-Disconnect. I think I might continue this, blogging I mean, it's somewhat relaxing. I find myself filling with an exhilarating thrill every time I click 'Publish'. Oh look, here comes that thrill now...

I think the way you described how getting to this website was like a road trip was wonderful! I like how everything flowed so well. You're doing great!
