your mother likes whats in my blogs

I don't like to blog. I think that blogging is a waste of time. I don't think that this blog has anything to do with English 111. I understand the reasoning behind doing blogs as part of the English class, but I still think that it is pointless. When blogging, grammar and spelling mistakes are acceptable. I don't understand why mistakes would be acceptable in any English class. Blogging, in my opinion, is just another way for people to bitch about things. When I look at some of the blog replies, I see more bitching. I thought that I signed up for English 111, instead it is turning out to be Whining 111. I'm sick of blogging. I'm sick of reading other people's blogs and replies.
I think that blogs would be better if we were given specific assignments for them. For instance, blogs could be about current events, school issues, or politics. If we wrote assigned blogs it would be easier to compare them to one another. This way the blog spotlight would have a better defined set of criteria.
Another option would be to blog about assigned issues, but from the opposite point of view. I think that if this was done, blogs could be utilized as a learning tool. Just throwing a few ideas around.
