a conversation with myself

dear world wide web,

I want to start this entry by saying that when I first started this blog, I decided to call it dear world wide web sort of as a joke. What I came to realize today is that this blog sort of is like a diary real or journal. More so, is my Press in America notebook. I was looking through my notebook at the beginning of class today. Functions of media, social responsibility theory, libertarian theory, attention economy, positive and negative freedom. All of these terms are laid out neatly in my notebook. Yet this notebook is not like my notebooks for other classes.

If a random person went through my notebook, they would think I was nuts. I have random comments, phrases, and even paragraphs that I have written down while we were having discussions. I am not very good at organizing my thoughts for speech. When I begin to speak in front of people, it comes out in a stream of nothingness. However, I can write clearly and in some kind of order.

My notebook is proof of this. In a sense, it is like a conversation with myself. This is something that does not happen in other classes and I think it is because I have a lot to think about in this class. So, even though the semester is over, I think I am going to post some blogs about some of the conversations I sort of had with myself in my notebook. A lot of them are from out most recent discussions.

I know that Professor Good is probably the only person who reads this, and most likely only for another week, if that, but I think that I have learned a lot about myself from this class and from the discussions and I want to post them because I think that it is sort of a way for me to continue thinking about the issues we raised in class.

So thank you, and I'm sorry if there are a lot of random blogs in the next few hours/days.
