My first blog experience.
My first blog experience was so bad since i was struglling to come up with it. It was very difficult for me because when the lecturer was telling us i thought it was something easy and i was not even concentrating. As time starts going on , it starts getting easy and even more interesting and i was not even expecting it to be easy for me as it is now. I thought it was something that can take much time to come up with and that day i was very much stressed and making alot of errors. Now i have realised that the thing is very easy and simple, its even very much interesting and so enjoyable just like a game. I really like blogs because they taught me alot of things now and i wish could be doing blogs forever and ever more.
