Im awful at blogging
So i forgot to get this done last week, and i almost forgot about it again this week. I feel it is safe to say i am not good at this blog thing. Anyway I realize this is last minute but at least I am getting it done. So far I have really enjoyed the class. It is the fastest three class I have ever taken. I enjoy how the class is moved by our work rather then learning how other people write. I have always found learning more effective when you just dive into it. Although I don't know if i understand this blogging assignment. I do understand that it is probably something as simple as just getting us writing on a consistant basis. I also do enjoy journaling to a point. I just feel that while I am writing in a journal I could be out doing things that are worth writing about. Anyway back on track, the class. I understand that my leads are a little weak, but i am scared to get to creative with them in small (and by small I mean large) part do to the J school. I feel the J school give you a box and says write inside this. This does not mean that I don't like the program. In truth, I do like the U of O J school and it has made me a better writer without a doubt. It is just completely different to every other journalism class I have taken so far. I guess I just got to find a way to write an interesting lead but not flowery. Allright I'm not sure how long these are supposed to be and I need to still write another one real quick so I'm going to end this write here. Hope I'm doing this right and I'll try to not procrastinate again. Peace!

good and real issues you are grappling with. I think the j school has you write in a box, at least in classes like this one, to build a solid foundation. After that you can build on it with Gonzo journalism, or whatever style moves you -- but the fundamentals need to be strong. I would hope, but maybe I'm wrong, that other classes encourage thinking out of the box in different ways?
