Twenty- six articles with five hundred words each. A great and suitable definition for our blog project. Almost every day we ask each other in class things like “Have you posted any entries this week? How many have you posted? What is the required topic for this week?” and nothing more. It is such a hassle. I just want to cry it out loud. I experienced a lot of frustrations in the process of making this blog project. How I wish this was all just a nightmare that I could just easily wake myself up to, but, sad thing is, this is reality.
For eight hours, I am at school, studying hard, imbibing new lessons and answering nerve- wrecking pop-up quizzes, seat works and long tests. Having a hard time understanding lessons in Physics and Calculus, I need to practice at night. And also there are deadlines for projects of other subjects, how can I comply with 5 entries a week? I am a graduating student and there are other things I need to worry about, not only the Blog project. I know that one reason why we students are made to make 26 entries is to discipline us, to teach us not to be lazy, but for me, it teaches me to be lazy because once I arrive from school, my brain all stressed out and my body drained, I want to sleep as early as possible for me to be able to regain my energy and for my brain to recover from stress, but, how could I possibly do so when I have to write a blog entry every night. Writing a blog entry requires a lot of brain work (Like what I am doing now). You need to think of a topic and its contents and its organization. It is so tiring.
Another thing I would like to point out is the fact that our computer has no internet access and that it is such a hassle to have to cross the street and walk several metres to an internet café. And not only that, the fee per hour is 20 pesos and it usually takes me 1-2 hours to post all my entries. Sometimes it would take me a longer time to post my entries for sometimes problems occur within the blog site. At times, the blogspot site takes so long to load and upon posting, takes so much time to publish the entries. Another factor is also the computer in the internet café which is sometimes slow in processing data. It costs a lot of money. One fact that I enrolled in a state university is because my family do not have the capacity to enrol me in a private institution.
Even though, a lot of disadvantages occur upon the making of the blog project, a thing I gained was my expression of my thoughts through writing and my writing skills. All of these improved once I started writing the entries to my blog even though others do not comment my blog entries. The blog project helped me improve my grammar, sentence construction and vocabulary. And also my skills in typing improved.
I feel this is just how every student in high school feel towards successive deadlines of projects. It frustrates and benefits them.##
