So Here I Am At Hofstra...

So here I am at Hofstra and I am blogging.  Writing online makes me feel nervous, and excited at the same time.  I'm nervous because I don't want people to think what I am writing is dumb or pointless.  Or just think that my writing in general is not verry interesting.  I want anyone who reads what I have to say to at least be intrigued and maybe even respond with their own opinions.  I hope that my future posts are able to inspire people to think about whatever I am writing about.  I hope that my posts challenge people to express their ideas, especially if they differ from my own.  Writing online also makes me excited because anyone who wants to has the ability to look at what I write because it is a public site.  It is cool to think that some person across the the world, country or even another town can what I have to write about.  Another reason that I am nervous about writing online is because I do not have a lot of experience writing, especially freewriting and I am noticing that I feel like I am just rambling.  I also am not very confident in my writing skills.  I hope that this writing class will help me become more creative and expressive in my writing.  I am used to just writing bland essays for classes but this class seems like it will challenge me creatively but also help me to improve my diction, and other writing skills in general.  I still have to free write for five more minutes but I do not know what else to say.  Free writing is hard because there are so many thoughts just coming to my head its hard to make sure I write them all.  Also its hard because I want to keep going back to fix m mistakes and sometimes i do because I forget that we aren't supposewd too.  This is really challenging.  In the beginning of writing this i definitely did too much baackspacing because it is just a habit.  This writing online is stressing me out a little, at least for this assifgntment.  All of the red lines i see on my screen are just SCREAMING at me to go back and fix them but i am trting my best not too.  These last few sentences have been the worst ones.  How else does writing online make me feel?! Well I'm eager to post my next blog that hopefully will be able to make people think about what I am saying and hopefully i do not feel like i am rambling as much as I do now.  Well my twelve minutes are up.
