BLOG Reflection

According to two years ago, when I was a ten grader, I wrote the independent reading responses on tons of papers. I might be exaggerated but I'm sure that you can imagine how many it is. Every Thursday night, I would sit down, take my paper out, and wrote down what I thought of my books that I read over that semester. I really like this way. But now, we are using a computer or laptop as a new technology. We write about our thoughts, feelings, and etc on the blogs.  From my view, I have faced some difficulties when I use my laptop to write reading responses. For example, when I went out with my family over the weekend like Hua Hin. There doesn't have the wireless internet for me to use, so I have to wait until I get back home and it might be overdue. However, for second quarter, I will try to figure some ways out. I will write my responses on Microsoft word first and then, I will go to the internet cafe' and put it down to my blog.
No doubt that laptop is a high technology to use and the blog creates a lot of nice pages, but for me, I think it's hard to use. I want to change to our traditional independent reading response which is writing on the papers. Some might think that writing on blogs is not waste of time, but in contrast, I used about two hours to write each response on mine because when I use my laptop, I couldn't resist to turn on my MSN or look for facebook or other websites. I couldn't concentrate that much writing on my blog.
As I'm a partner with Eisuke and Taku. I think Eisuke's comments are very honest and insightful. Every time I read his comments, it always reminds me of my mom who like to say things straight forward. For Taku, I like his unique writing. He always expresses his personality on the blog. It makes me want to write more comments.
