Why blogging is hard.

Today in class McArdle came out of nowhere and said, "That's it. I'm done. You all can leave." I was disturbed by his outburst and it has caused me great distress throughout the day. Why did he do it? Is this a test? Is this a head game? Am I thinking about it to much? I came to the conclusion that it was an Irish temper flare. I know what many of you are thinking. An Irish temper flare where booze wasn't involved! Crazy! You may think so, but it's entirely plausible. It's also plausible that the endless bunny trails caused him to go into a greater depression within himself. Or he could just be mad that we aren't blogging enough. I know I'm not. So I have prepared a 5 point reasoning on why I do not blog more often in order to provide peace to this situation. I will also provide solutions.

REASONING
--Politics
--I live among the generation of Internet users who's attention spans are limited at best.
--I am easily distracted by my Digg feature.
--Moon phases
--Leftover senioritis

SOLUTIONS
--Roll-over Blogging. You can blog more than twixe a week and your extra blogs will be carried over to the next week.
--Prize give aways. If the top blogger was given a prize at the end of every week, we would be more inspired to blog. Top blogers are the people with the most high quality blogs per week.

Interesting solutions you have there young Jacob. Blogging is hard because its sooo easy to forget to do. The rollover blogs would be flippin sweet but its not going to ever happen. I think that one of the prizes should be that you get to sit in McArdle's wheelie chair for the week.

no irish flare up - it's week #11 - that means it's up to you guys to decide just what it is you want to do with what we have done over the semester - we have less than 5 weeks left... let's see what you can do

btw: wheelie chair is off limits
