To blog or not to blog?...That is the question.

I was actually really excited about the idea of blogging about what we learn in management class. I heard of classes that did this (creative writing and literature courses) and I wished business classes were more fun and interactive. I was good with posting and responding to other blogs at first. It taught me that there were other people out there who felt the same way as I did about not only management but other topics like culture and ethics.
Having to write about some class activities of discussion allowed me to reflect on the actual lesson learned. Sometimes lectures seem pretty pointless unless you actually THINK about what you just heard or learned or experienced. I'd find myself writing WAY more than what I should really post, way more than what the professor will bother to really read afterwards.
Also, having the blog become a bigger part than what most people would have it believe it is, did not really help in motivation with the class. I react awfully to anxiety and late deadlines, and knowing that I was late in something so important usually causes me to avoid it even more. After experiencing major surgery and having my gall bladder removed, depression kept me from even opening my computer. I didn't even want to go on Facebook!
Besides the e-mails I had sent to my professors letting them know why I would be absent in the next couple of weeks, I stayed away from the computer and books for a while. This was not only due to my disinterest in studying at the time and growing anxiety that I was missing classes that required interactive learning (such as my management class), but also because I couldn't comfortably lift anything, not even a book, until a week and half after surgery.
Having missed about two weeks worth of class, I was highly unmotivated to write on the blog, since I didn't feel like I had much to write about. The blog was usually a reflection of what I learned in class and I had not learned anything in three weeks (this in including spring break, though).
I wish people had written more about things that weren't necessarily assignments, but at least somewhat management related. I remember having written about a funny (and perhaps fake) letter to the manager of Always sanitary pads. I might continue to write on this blogs about things related to management, or perhaps other business fields like marketing or accounting (snoozefest!). I mean, I AM in a business school. I'm going to continue to encounter news and topics like these every day from now on. Let's just hope they are interesting enough for people to want to read them.
