goodbye?

First time bloggers: As you continue your journey through education and into the professional world, I hope that you have learned a valuable skill from this blog: that blogging shouldn't be feared.

If you'll look back to the first 50 or so posts you'll notice a common theme: many of the posts start with "I'm new to this and I don't know what I'm doing".

Hopefully, you'll never ever ever (etc) write that again. First of all, it makes you seem incompetent, which is absolutely not true. Secondly, it's annoying. It was annoying the first time I read it and the effect only multiplied with repetition.

Everyone: in this class is a blogger of, at minimum, basic competence and many are advanced. The next time that you blog, whether for a class, job, or personal pleasure, know that you are capable of doing it well.

The hardest part of good blogging is getting the attention of readers and keeping it. With good writing and exciting visuals you can do that.

Instead of goodbye, I say welcome. Welcome to publishing in the 21st century.

C'ya around.

My Farewell To You

Well, you guys, we finally made it. Towards the end it became really hard for me academically and personally. I almost gave up but I was able to persevere and finish, at least one part of my assignment. But I just want to thank all of the positive encouragers and those that went above and beyond to help those that were lacking or slacking. Once again, THANX.

Au Revoir

Is it appropriate to bid farewell to my English class in French? I feel like I have learned a lot this semester! This class not only improved my writing skills, but it also has helped prepare me for the rest of my college education. I was terrified when I first started out, but with a little time management and lots of questions, I feel apt to take on what comes at me. Thanks to everyone for all the insight, and I wish everyone the best in their future endeavors. Special thanks to Ms. Chapman for making my first college experience a great one, and I couldn't have done it without you!

good bye

its hard to believe that its over already, but its come to the end. take advantage of today for no man knows tomorrow. something my mother tells me all the time. if i had to do it over i would manage my time more effectively and get things done ahead even if i am not well. it was nice knowing you all even though we didn't get the chance to meet in person. good luck to you all in future endeavors.

Goodbye

This class went by so quick. I guess because it was an online class, I don't know though. It was challenging and frustrating at sometimes. Well good luck to everybody and I hope all goes well with the rest of your education.
