Blogging

The only reason why I am only blogging is because it’s part of Language Arts and there’s ACE to obtain. In fact, my views on blogging are mostly negative as I personally dislike blogging.

Firstly, from my perspective, it’s a waste of precious time due to the fact that I have CCA everyday from Monday to Friday 3-6pm, normally by the time I get home it would be at least 7pm then after dinner etc it would be almost 8. The time from 8pm till I sleep would mainly be used to finish off the huge workloads that are given almost every day, sometimes I have to stay up till 11 or 12 to finish all these homework, thus, I have absolutely no time for blogging regularly.

Secondly, blogs are publicly open for anyone to read and comment. I definitely wouldn’t want to post my personal thoughts or feelings for someone else to read would I? Well, that’s from my point of view. Although just like an online diary, any post that contains sensitive topics such as racism could probably spark off an online “war” whereby one gets criticized repeatedly for making such posts etc. This could possibly lead to disastrous outcomes. I certainly wouldn’t want to risk that.

Thirdly, I am wondering is there even a point to blogging? Besides posting about your life/something interesting that you witnessed/your perspectives of various issues etc, what else is there? Will I gain insights by blogging? Will I improve in any way by blogging? Will I find blogging interesting or fun? In fact I don’t see why people like to blog. To me a blog is simply an online journal which others can read and comment on, like a diary which isn’t personal, nothing else.

Finally, for those of you who like blogging please understand my standpoint. I admit that blogging is a way for one to express their feelings freely on a seemingly online journal but I am just not interested in it due to time constraints. Blog posts that consists in-depth thinking generally require a significant amount of time to “come out with”. For someone like me who barely have the time to relax, I would prefer not to blog if possible. From my perspective, people blog because they have the time and not everyone has the time to blog regularly. I may sound cryptical to some of you but those who find blogging a waste of time and a hassle will understand how I feel. However since blogging is part of school work I am left with no choice but to blog.

Once again I emphasize that the posts in this blog may appear lame compared to my usual self and sometimes lack in-depth thinking due to limited time (although I will try my best). This blog is purely for school work and nothing else also I don’t have a personal blog.
