A Problem I Encountered And How I Managed It

My problem is the blogging assignment I am doing now. If I had a choice, I would not even have anything to do with a blog. I do not like to publish things for others to view. However, as this blogging assignment makes up 50% of CA1, I have no choice but to do it. I reckon the teacher probably thought that not many of us would blog during our free time so they came out with this assignment to force us to blog by giving the assignment the weightage of half a CA. I also found the duration of two weeks given for the assignment too short. It was really difficult carving out time for the blogging assignment with so much homework from other subject teachers each day. As the deadline loomed near, I got more anxious as I had not managed to write a single entry in the blog.
As blogging involves using a computer, I put off doing the assignment as I dislike using the computer for homework. It is not that I am computer illiterate, it is just that I am not interested in. IT stuff. Another reason why I found it difficult to start doing the assignment was because I found the topics rather restricting. I did not have any ideas and did not know where to begin. When I was left with merely a week before the submission date of the five blogs, I knew I could not delay working on it anymore and steeled myself to put my thoughts to paper before typing the entries in the blog site.
I started out by writing a draft of my entry on paper to make typing and publishing it faster since I would not have to spend time constructing my sentences and arranging my thoughts. However, I encountered another problem as I had a lot of school work to complete and could not complete writing one blog at a time. I decided to work on parts of it as and when I could spare the time.
After completing the first entry, I felt it was not as difficult as I thought it would be. I hope to complete all five entries before the Friday deadline.
