This morning my English teacher from senior
year of high school suddenly popped up in my brain. He was (and still is) the most hilarious, intellectual,
and popular teacher. And he was the first person who introduced me and my class how
to be part of this wonderful world of blogs in the United States. I guess he showed up in my brain to
tell me about the blog again.
Blog, blog, blog. “Not so exciting word to hear
on the first day of class.” That’s what I first thought when I heard that I need
to be a blogger this quarter. Besides my English teacher’s lesson, the word “blog”
was not so strange at all because it has been pretty popular in Korea for many
years. I have seen so many great posts about food, fashion, TV series, entertainments,
and etc. but seriously? Me, posting to and for public? I couldn't imagine that.
Well, to tell the truth, this isn't even my first time to create a blog; I
already experienced this several years ago. If I remember it right, after creating a blog, I posted once or twice, and that was it. It didn't take too long to realize that I was more than happy to be a
reader, rather than a blogger. So, not to procrastinate in making a blog was
the most difficult thing for me today. I don’t worry about posting things here
because I have to do it so anyways whether I like it or not. I mean actually I think
I am already starting to like it because blog posting does not necessarily need
some outlines to follow like other boring academic papers, but yet I am still
writing something, and it makes me feel productive. Unlike Facebook where I put
a couple of sentences about what I feel like today, here in blog, I feel more
free to write as much as I want. I am still worried about being a blogger but
now I think this would help me relaxed with all those piles of duties.
Nice post, Joo. I enjoyed how your opinion of blogs continues to develop even as you're writing this first post.
