Meta-Blog Reflection

        Looking back on my first week of school and all of the activities we did and how I responded to them, I've begun to realize that I come off as really technical. I am not sure if that is a good thing. I always attempt to convey how seriously I take my education, but I soon realized that technicalities weren't a defining factor in this class and that Lacy wanted us to think outside of the box. I've never considered myself to be a very creative person, so when she told us that doing things that we weren't comfortable with was a great way to earn the grade for this class, I felt very challenged. Though this class doesn't require a large Quantity of work, it requires a greater Quality in every task we do. The activities we have done spark deeper thought, and I wish I could have represented myself as more of a person- narrating my experiences and connecting it to my posts. If someone read my blog or my G+ posts and comments, they probably wouldn't be able to deduce much about who I am as a person because my posts remain quite vague: "I also enjoyed talking about literacy and writing in response to Gawandi. From this I have learned that we always have a purpose when we write, whether our opinions or objectives are directly stated or not." In my posts, I tend to reflect on the tasks we completed that I enjoyed, but not my deeper or more negative thoughts about what I could do to improve my writing. If I could do things differently, I would somewhat choose to appear less optimistic and a little more realistic.
