My blog and blogosphere

My blog is based on giving information about Korea. It was my first time for blogging, so I did not have any idea. I did not know what to do, what should I do and how could I make up and pick lay outs. First of all, I worried what I had to choose as a subject for my blog. I remembered that there was no international student except me in class and classmates could visit my blog. I decided to choose Korea as my blog subject. I thought it would be a great chance to give information about Korea to them. Because I always felt so sad they did not know Korea well, even if they were using Samsung cell phones and LG cell phones and riding on Hyundai cars. Sometimes, my American friends used to tell me Samsung is good Japanese company. I tried to make up the header to be more impressive than any others, so it took lots of time to pick some awesome pictures of Korea for my blog header.

First time, I focused on giving information about Korea when I posted on my blog. I gave information about location of Korea. After that, I introduced about Korea cultures, customs, and weather. I posted how could cook the typical Korean food and who is the most popular singer group in Korea. However, I decided to change line about my blog after had a conference with Rachel and visited the other classmates’ blog. They more focused on expressing their feelings and thoughts and Rachel told me to do practice writing through the posting on my blog. After that, I tried to more focus on expressing my feelings and thoughts than just giving information about something. I think the best post on my blog is posted on April 10. Of course, I could not decide easily, because I thought the post about spring break in the San Francisco was also good. However, there are some reasons why I chose that one. That time, I was very hard, so it was unbearable. Cares about my lack of ability, weighed heavily upon me. I did not have any one to talk about my concerns with me. I was going to crazy. I could not do anything by disappointment and worry. What was worse, I started to think about going back to Korea. I wanted to express my feelings on anywhere in anyway. I decided to express my feelings on my blog. It was my first time to express about my worries in English. Of course, I used to express my feelings such as happy, and what I saw in English. It made me felt relieved. That I had had my say, I felt much better.

I think the blogosphere makes us to be related each other. There are lots of people in the world and there could be so many different points of view about something. Through the blogs, I could put myself in another’s place and get knowledge. In these days, Internet is called as sea of information. It means lots of information is overflowing now. It could include good things but also bad or wrong information on someone’s blog. We have to be sensible and thoughtful.
