Blog Project: An Assessment

I was very resistant to this blog project even at the middle of it. I really do not want to have this kind of project because I thought it would just be a waste of time, effort and money.
It is a waste of time because you need to think for a topic and expound on it to reach the 500-word minimum per entry. It is very hard for me to do this because I have other things to ponder on. I have other concerns to think about.
It is a waste of effort because you will really dig for ideas in your head. You will search for points that you will add in you entries.
It is a waste of money because you will spend in uploading your entries.
But I have realized that even though it made so much problems, there are also benefits in blogging. You can improve the skill that you already have. Your vocabulary skills will be enhanced through this blog project. You will learn new words that will be added in your vocabulary. Your grammatical ability will be harnessed. You can use your knowledge in constructing sentences and using correct punctuations in every entry you will post. Your typing skills will greatly improved. You will type fast to save time and money in every posting.
This blog project is an instrument for acquiring new skills. I already learned how to manage my time well in order to comply with all the entries at the end. At first, I was very lazy in making the entries for the blog. But at the end I was able to make all the needed entries. And this is my last entry. I also acquired skills in organizing ideas. This is very important to give a good flow of all your ideas because if you will not have this, your entries will be very chaotic. I also acquired skills in impromptu writing. I just think for a topic and directly type it without making any draft. I also learned to think for different interesting topics and expound these to reach the number of words required.
While doing this blog project, I also encountered some problems. I faced time constrains because I never planned well on the time that I will make my entries. I have financial problems because I do not know where to get resources in going to an internet café. There were time that I cannot think any topic .I had deficiency of topics. Another problem is insufficient ideas. I have a hard time in expounding certain issues or topics.
I never stopped and I really find ways how to solve these problems. I made a timetable on when to write the topics I have in mind. I also saved money in order to go to an internet café and post my entries. And in posting entries, I refrain from going to other sites so that I can save time and money.
Now that I am already finished with the blog project I recommend that this would continue but with lesser entries per week. I also suggest to the next students, that they would work on their entries every day so that they will not have a hard time in complying with this requirement.
