I know what blogs are, and how individuals use them to express themselves on topics that matter to them and that some outstanding bloggers have even become famous.Comparing myself to them,I would never have thought about having a blog of my own.
So when our instructors asked us to create a blog, I was a little nervous. A" little " isn't actually the word;I was so stressed that I got up at 3:00 a.m local time and sat in front of my computer to perform the task.At that time I was almost certain that my internet connecttion will be operating, and I thought I would be back to bed after 30 min .I stayed in front of the screen until my alarm clock rang!!! It was time to wake up and get ready for a long working day: my classes end at 4:00 pm.
But why did it take me so long to create this blog though I had the step by step instruction under my eyes? First, I was disappointed that the site was in French because I had to read in English and then match the given instructions with their French equivalent. JUST TIRING!!!!!
But my troubles weren't over yet.I had to find a title and a relevant address to my blog.
What a poor imagination I have !!!!!! 20 min to come up with a title and address.
Next time Ill be less demanding with my students.

You've done a great job Hassina, congratualtions. Every other step would be much more simpler don't worry. I guess you could have done the registration through the English Blogger website as that would have been far more easier. One can never know how difficult something is until he or she be directly involved in it. If you need help or assistance, I am happy to guide you through anytime.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear Hassina, I'm so sorry your first blog experience was so tiring...but it's just the first attempt, don't worry. I'm not experienced in it too, but after spending some time learning things it became much clearer!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in blogging!!!!!

Hassina Salhi,
ReplyDeleteby paying attention to your very last comment on your first blog, it made me smile thinking of how hard we are with our students at times when thinking that they lack imagination. Honetly I went through the same lack of imagination when deciding on how to "christen" my blog; it did take a while to come up with something that would satisfy me.
I just have to say that you did do a great job with this blog. Congratulations!!! And as our partner, Amjad, said, "every other step would be much simpler" than the previous one.
Great job and greetings from Costa Rica,
Jonathan

My best wishes:

Hello Hassina,
ReplyDeleteGreat things are never done easily, it's a slow process we all go through, but the end results are worth it. You've done a good job.
I look forward to reading your future posts.
All the best,

I like the last confessional line in your blog - 'i will be less demanding with students'.
