The continuation

I'm curious what the exact purpose of this exercise in blog writing is. I know it can positively influence an array of areas. However, for the purpose of this class I'm curious as to what the goal professor Baldwin had in mind. Is it to improve writing skills? Unlikely. Is it to get in touch with your emotions? Sounds a bit too unorthodox. Or maybe it is to get in the lifestyle that is involved with all this software and "computing" for lack of a better word.

I find it refreshing to write these things down, despite my pre-conceived notions that is was only for self-absorbed people( I'm not completely removed from that idea). A part of me wants someone to take notice of these thought and writings, after all. Isn't that what's this for? But another doesn't want them to be completely broadcasted to everyone and have people read my thoughts without me reading theirs. Usually when two people meet there is a mutual exchange of information and dependence. When someone reads your writing, it's a bit vouyeuristic( to take a favorite word of the professors). That person has a power over you, however small or large and that's not a position I like to be put in.

running the marathon,
