I was very excited about this class because in high school creative writing was my favorite class. Journalism is not creative writing. Learning how to write factual, to the point hard news was so hard for me. Learning how to keep my opinion out of my writing was even harder! I have a lot more respect for the journalist career because it has to be a tough job, not only with deadlines and interviews and finding sources, but then watching closely what you write in case you are sued for Libel.
I have to say this was a very intense class that pushed me really hard and for that I am happy. It taught me how to get things done quickly and make sure I was checking over everything for imperfections. I really liked Blogging in this class, that was my favorite part about the class!

It did push me very hard! And I am a creative writer, too, so changing my style was hard as well. The deadlines were the toughest, but what a good experience.
I hope you keep writing, Sarah!
