So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night.


This is the last post I will make for the Blogging course.

Though I will continue with this blog for the remainder of the semester since Doc Hoc's Advanced Comp class also requires the maintenance of a blog, I won't be surprised if I continue on after this as well.

As a young girl through my teenage years, I was a devout diarist. It made me feel important and wise to collect my thoughts in a small, pretty journal. But, in my early twenties, I stopped keeping a diary. Life got too busy, my attention too divided. Ironically, it was at this very time that I truly started experiencing noteworthy milestones emotionally and event-wise. I lament that I do not have any epistolary time capsule of this segment of my life. I am now almost thrity and I find myself resurging into the sphere of the diarist, thanks to this blog assignment.

There are certainly things that I want to record that I would prefer not share with the blogosphere, but there are also things that are only thrilling when you know someone out there might read it. To share life in this open and pratically anonymous venue is enriching. I look forward to maintaining this blog in the future, if not weekly, then quarterly. But, I will definately be taking things a little 'old school' and bring back my journaling.
