Semester Reflection: What Went Wrong?

I recognize my blogging has gone way down in quantity, and from what you may observe, quality, since first quarter ended so many weeks ago. There is really no explanation for my lack of blogging, an act which would normally consume about 10-15 minutes of my week.
       As far as lame excuses go, "not being inspired/having a desire" to blog is pretty high up there. But honestly, when it came time for me to dedicate myself for those daunting 15 minutes every Sunday afternoon, I could not dig out a topic in my mind that I felt passionate enough to write an honestly worded post about. Perhaps that is only an excuse I am inventing in my own mind now, as the semester draws to a close, but it really sums up my attitude towards this assignment in general.
       That being said, I recognize that I am a student of this AiS class, and have missed the equivalent of several assignments. I have choice on the curriculum, and understand that a grade must be given based on all aspects of my work in this course, and that my grade may reflect my lackadaisical attitude.
       I will apply myself much more to my blog this second semester and third quarter; a fresh start will encourage me to more to work on the assignment. A sample of my work from this quarter can be seen here: http://shotsfrommyblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/who-is-real-authority-on-childhood.html. It is probably worse than many of my first quarter posts.
