Blogging...

I really thought I would like blogging and for a while I did but now it seems like a tedious task we have to complete, I doubt my teacher even reads half of the students blogs. I'm pretty sure she reads those of the students she has a friendship like relationship with and just checks the others for the required number of blogs. I don't really have a problem with it, I just think its rather unnecessary for us to complete these blogs that she might or might not read, and post them to the Internet where everyone can read them, when half the students in my class are on myspace or facebook, instead of even doing the blogs. What happened to journals?
