Although this class has been relatively short, with just four weeks of blogging, looking back I am happy with the experience it has provided me. Even before enrolling in this class, I had given serious thought to beginning a blog to get my writing out in the public, and this class has opened my eyes to how easy and fun blogging can be.
I have enjoyed blogging about the Denver Nuggets and wouldn't mind continuing to write about them, but after four weeks I also realize that perhaps writing about Northern Colorado athletics, a subject much closer to home, would be slightly easier. With more access to my beat, my writing may become more in-depth instead of having to rely solely on the links of other journalists.
I would prefer to use more opinion in the pieces I write on this blog from here on out, as there are plenty of other links readers can go to for more in-depth formal journalism.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience this class offered me and the way it opened my eyes to how easy it is to have my own blog.

Nuggets get fourth straight victory with win over Houston
In just his second game back after the death of his sister, Carmelo Anthony scored 33 while leading the Nuggets to a 113-106 victory over the Houston Rockets. It was the club's fourth straight victory.
Anthony also recorded a double-double, grabbing 11 rebounds to go along with his 13 free throws.
"I was just trying to be aggressive and get to the rack," Anthony said. "Sometimes they call it, sometimes they don't. You know, when you shoot 14 free throws, it' hard for them to call every time you get fouled."
Nene chipped in with a strong performance, scoring 16 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
Houston forward Shane Battier said the descrepancy in free throw shooting was the different in the game.
"We didn't do a very good job of keeping [Anthony] off the line," Battier said. "It's tough to play on the road and overcome the 40 free throws they had as a team."
The Nuggets will look to make it five wins in a row on Wednesday night when they travel to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers and their explosive rookie Blake Griffin.
