Blogging. How to express my love hatred joy endearment excitement stress content-ness for thee? At times you were such the perfect remedy to a cruddy day, allowing me to escape into a world of my own, able to write my feelings and express my ideas without being judged. At others, you were the annoying little sibling and developed into the thorn in my side on Sunday nights trying to type all 1,200 words of you out. But what I have come to develop just recently actually, was the feeling of openness you allow me to express.

 From the beginning with my crazy idea of exploring every country to ranting about music to describing America's impractical beliefs; you have always stuck by me. Through thick and thin; from horrid posts about eating dogs, to padded underwear; from owning the sun to depicting a travel to Turkey's Hagia Sophia; from my Halloween poems to my coverage of the Japanese Earthquake and nuclear plant meltdowns. You've always provided me a place to allow my thoughts flow freely, regardless of your annoying due date every Monday and requirement of 3 posts per week.

Admittedly, yes, you were a pain. But a good one, and beneficial in many, many ways. I want to take this opportunity to say my goodbyes, and thank you for all that you have done for me this past year: forcing me to research the rain forests of Brazil and consequently learning facts about endangered species there; looking up the random new stories of the day which helped me to look into online newspapers and become a frequent reader; or just making me stay up late on a Sunday night drilling me on writing my best under pressure and a time constraint. You've helped me organize my schedule and manage my time in order to get you done, which will definitely help me in the future.

 Plus, you've helped me see how great of writers I can proudly call my peers. Reading everyone else's blogs has been an extremely entertaining experience, and one that will be greatly missed this summer.

So again, blogs, thank you for all the good harm lack-of-sleep inspiration  great times you have provided for me. I think I can speak for all of us in Mr. Ayers's class when I say, SO LONG SUCKAH!! And hope to never maybe see you soon.

Love, for the final time,
