So I really wanted to get my feelings out so I decided to write on my blog cause that's what a blog is for (I think).
  I am getting really upset with the Library system here in town. They have cut back hours, raised fines, and doing a lot of absurd things. For instance, a few weeks ago my dad, older sister, and I went to the library to find a good movie to watch that night. The library ladies told us that we could no longer renew movies online or by phone and we could only renew books once and we could do that by phone, online, or coming in. What really ticks me off is that we took our movies back and renewed our books. But we have now been fined for not returning our books. I know we renewed the books but we're getting fined for not returning them. This city needs to do a whole lot more in the money saving department because I will not go to the library anymore as long as the city won't fund them. I'm actually kind of glad my English teacher made us do blogs so I could get my feelings out.

Blog Evaluation

So this is my last blog for school. I'm kind of sad this is the last one because that means I am closer to being a senior. SCARY!!!!! I enjoyed blogging, I liked some assignments over others but it was fun. I think my favorite blog was the 1920s music playlist. I love music from that era so the assignment was easy for me. One of my least favorite blogs was the Voki blog. One reason was because it was difficult to figure out and then it didn't turn out the way I had been hoping it would. I tried to put my best effort into my blogs but when I forgot to do some, I would write a paragraph and then move on to the next, not even really thinking about what I wrote. Doing these blogs helped teach me to be more responsible for my homework. The blogs weren't written on the assignment board because there was one every week. I forgot though that we had a blog to do that week and forget about it the next couple of weeks until I looked at my grades and wondered why I had F's. This was good though because in college I'm told that the teachers don't remind us of homework. I'm not sure if I will shut down my blog or continue blogging after this year. I definitely recommend that the juniors next year have a blogging experience. Thanks so much Mrs. Williams!!
