Entry #11

This blog has been quite the wild ride. When I first started this project, I was terrified. I wanted to quit the whole class because of how much I hated the sound of having to write multiple blog entries. However, I realized pretty quickly that the point of the blog was that it could really be anything, it doesn't have to contain status updates about your life if you don't want to. I stopped hating writing blogs pretty quickly, but I never have essentially enjoyed it either since ya know, it's for a class. I probably won't write anymore on here if its for personal reasons just because why would I?
    
   I appreciate that our class didn't have to write a fourth essay since the 3 we had took up enough time. I think that this blog really helped me in the class overall, not because I learned some lesson from it, but because the writing needed for these was much less or at least felt like a lot less than the main essays. 
  
   Writing this blog, actually made me want to write my essays like they were a blog. When we wrote the digital identity essay, I feel as though it would of been much more successful if I could of written it on here with plenty of pictures, and videos to represent the things that I was talking about.

    The only thing I think that could change about the blog would be the due dates for it. The second grading period happened fairly quickly. We had to do four blogs all in the course of a week and it became very stressful. If it was spread out, or at least had the module open up a week beforehand, I would of had more time to focus on them. Otherwise, this project was fairly easy and I'm sure I'll do well when I continue using it for English 102.

 Otherwise,

Entry #10 I Swear Musicals Aren't That Boring

Image
Since I've spent most of this blog talking about music, I really just wanted to share a bunch of different types of musicals with you. I know a lot of people find musicals pretty boring, but I feel like those people just haven't found the right one to watch. I mean there's a musical for everything. There's Spongebob the Musical, which I kind of find stupid, but I mean, if you find squarepant humor funny, I'm sure you'd fine this to be great. There's also Shrek the Musical which by the way is on Netflix and then there's even a Spiderman the Musical where someone actually died during a stunt right before the performance.  Cartoon creators of South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, use musical numbers as comedy all the time. At one point in family guy, it seemed as though every other episode had some type of catchy and amusing performance. The creators of South Park love musicals so much that they actually wrote one called, "The Boo...

Entry #11 You blogged what now?

This journey as a blogger has definitely, well been a journey. I absolutely hated the idea of this thing sitting in class that day in January. I thought I had finally won and was done with it in March and then comes the first day of English 102 and HAH! SURPRISE! You have to do it again! (insert non-verbal maniacal laugh) I pretty much died at the fact that I'd have to come up with 5 more topics for blogs. I mean the last entry I had for last semester was just a poem I had written during some recent midnight thoughts. Luckily, I had been playing a lot of piano over the break, a few minutes after you announced the fact that we had to do the blogs, my inner soul ruptured so much that it initiated a light bulb effect where I came up with the three classical music directed blogs I had this semester.  I was pretty reluctant to write these until I actually started to write them, it felt like a chore, but in all sincerity, I also kind of love it. I got into A...

    If you have ever seen Star Wars then you are one of the lucky ones to listen to the epic works of John Williams. The infamous song, "Imperial March" has to be one of the most influential and widely known pieces in the world. However, did you know that this legendary song was inspired by music written in the 19th century?     Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig, Germany in 1813. Growing up, he wasn't very good at school, however he picked up a piano and started learning instantly. By the time he turned 16, He had started writing operas. Even though you have'nt heard of his name before, You have surely heard of his works.      " Here comes the bride, all dressed in white ."   You will here this tune as you watch your best friend or family member march down the isle on their wedding day.
