My Blog Experience

My blogging experience.

Well this wasn't the first blog that I've done but it definitely was the most detail-oriented.

I had high ambitions and multiple sources of inspiration for what this blog should have been.

For what was required for the class, I came to meet the requirements. But, for my own personal wants it fell short.

Partially, this was a cause of multiple distractions and abscences of material. The distractions would include my other classes and other projects for this class. I decided to join and become highly active in different classes and activities. But this is not much of an excuse.

Mostly, it was difficult to write stories (blog posts) to match the exact wants and needs of my mission statement. I wrote a good number of stories that fit into my mission statement and intended goal but I felt like I was lacking.

Perhaps, after this class I will be able to follow more closely and add a greater number of blog posts that fit my mission statement (since it is important to me).

But my mission and goal for this blog was very narrowly defined and it kind of bit me in the behind.

I would like to apologize to those who felt I didn't reach their expectations. I will do better after this.

Besides that, I DID have a great time writing what I wrote.

There was an exhiliration that overwhelmed while I re-created life experiences that I experienced personally or witnessed in others around me.

Each uniquely meant something to me and had connection to anyone with emotion flowing through their bodies.

I will eventually (in the very near future), rewrite a new blog. The reason why this particular site won't continue via this site is because it was another beta test for me for blogging.

The link will be posted on here for my new blog within the next two weeks.

Thank you for your time and for reading this.

3. Dreamweaver Project



For this last project, the Video Podcast, I chose to make a video about the Civil Rights and Inauguration tour I and nine other students from SJSU's school of Journalism and Mass Communication embarked on over the winter break of 2009.

It's a collection of pictures from the trip of each student and the places we visited and recaptured the history in a modern context. (Unfortunately short in the amount of time for the video because we had to make the video portion, excluding the credits, within three minutes).



Thank you.
