Thoughts...

It's warm out, classes are starting to wrap up and I'm getting closer and closer to graduation and getting ready to go out into the real world. At first I was ecstatic about being done with school; now I'm not so sure. Anyways, part of my class assignment is to post some final thoughts about my blogging experience.

I actually started this blog way back in November as a way to provide updates at the women's soccer NCAA tournament games. My volleyball writer at the Huntington News live-blogged the CAA volleyball tourney at Cabot...and then things kind of went dead.

But starting Online Journalism in the spring semester gave me a reason to start the blog again and I have to say its been a good experience. I've live blogged the Beanpot, Hockey East playoffs and will be providing updates from Fenway Park at the NU-UMass Beanpot final Monday evening. I wish I was a little better at uploading audio and pictures to go along with some of my posts-some of the interviews I posted from the Beanpot were a little sloppy. I also wish I was a little more timely with some of my posts- sometimes I'd upload audio a few days after an event.

Overall this has been a good experience. I've gotten some good feedback from the few readers I've had. I hope to keep this up, although I'm not sure what subject matter it will be on. If I am around Northeastern in the fall, you bet I will be following Husky sports and giving my thoughts on here.
