As what I wrote on reflective essay, writing blog in every week was one of hard jobs to me; because I had to finish by every Tuesday. Especially when I had to write unusual topic, I could not know where I should start from like find awesome blog. Also, express my feeling through blog was difficult to me because I am not comfortable with it. However, after I finished few blogs, it was really helpful to my writing skill because I could write anything what I think and feel beside thinking of grammars. It gave more chance to express my feeling or thought in my blog. Sometimes, 250 words were hard to write, but when I had interesting topic, it was nothing. Also, from the comments, it was really good that I could share others’ opinion and new information. (sometime if I don’t have any comments under my blog, I felt so sad) When I looked other classmates’ blog, I tried to see everyone’ blog and leave comments different blog each week.
Honestly, after class, I don’t think I keep on blogging. If I would, the subject would change to common or fun things that I liked more. It was nice experience to have own blog, but I will keep on my track in different ways.

Blog #10 Consumerism and Christmas
I went to Best Buy the day after Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday even I didn’t have anything particularly buy there. I was surprised not because of their price, but the people. Where were all those people coming from? I waited fifteen minutes to get into the store! That day, I surely understood consumerism that drives our culture crazily.
Christmas season, I always feel terrible about one th
ing. That is Christmas trees which is not a gift, but it is really awful to me and as what Prof. X said, the selfish, clueless, and ‘straight to the trash’. Please don’t think I am out of mine of non-emotional person. Every time when I see all the cut downed trees from Christmas tree sale, I feel really sad about it and wonder where all the tree come from; maybe every Christmas season, we cut down one mountain because of our selfish. I 
don’t understand why Christmas tree becomes symbol of Christmas; from the religion presentation, I learned other religions take care of nature and try not to cut the trees, but not for Christian?
Wrapping paper is also one of problems of this season. All the gifts are wrapped nicely with wrapping paper and ribbons. However, after open the gifts, all those things become trash; even if I save some papers or ribbons for
next time, I’ve never used it. Also, shopping bags become garbage after the season. I think these are also huge waste of trees and money because of our insanity.
There are many products at the market and I can easily find awful and useless one from it. It is also easy to show other people how awful or how
useless they are, but I think that doesn’t solve any problems. Recycling and reuse are really helpful after the seasons. Also, we have to stop cut down the trees to decorate our house for short time. I don’t know when we start to give each 
others gift without celebrating real meaning of Christmas day. On Christmas day, if you want to share your love to families or friends, write and send card to them; not E-Mail, and do you want to save more? Then, make your own card with old rapping papers and ribbons

Blog #9 Awesome Blog
When I saw this blog assignment, I didn’t know what to do because I couldn’t realize how many people have concerned of our environment and try to change around us. I thought there are only few people who really care about our environment because as I said my past blog, I felt changing attitude toward our planet is really hard; save everything, stop shopping and etc.
When I found this ‘Green Blog, Enviro space; the ultimate green community’ first time, I was surprised lots of people have same concern about our nature and environments. The awesomeness of this blog is many bloggers can write what they are interested about instead of control and write by one person. Also, there is calendar that shows environmental events around the world. For example, December 1st to 12th, there is United Nations’ conference about climate change in Poland. It seems like many bloggers are worried about climate change; there are many posts about it.
From the post, I have interested about one, “Eco Friendly Tips for College and University Students” by Daniel Harrison, one of the blogger. He said one of the green ideas for the student is save money which I agree. He gives some easy and common tips that he used during his college years which are make own meals in bulk, don’t buy text book, don’t have a car, and switch stuff off and use energy saving light bulbs. I especially agree with making meal in bulk because I waste my money to buy foods that always throw out after three days.
From this blog, I can see many people who are really doing something to keep our green nature. Because this blog realizes me there are many people who try to keep our planet, this is my reason that I choose it as awesome blog.
