Blog Reflection (And next country details)

As I have mentioned before, I am doing this blog for my Honors English class at school. Well, it's been a long journey and even though I have changed my mind over and over about whether or not I like this activity. I have come to a conclusion and decided I do in fact like it. I love writing about places I've never been to or that I have been to several times before. It makes me feel like I am actually there when I write and that is why I write about traveling.
When I started my blogging journey, with my first post all the way to my last, I was sitting in my room pondering about what interesting things I had to talk about to get a good grade. Now, I sit in a corner somewhere (that hasn't changed) and write. I just wait as the the words flow from my fingers and I don't worry about that grade anymore, I worry about what the post is going to say. I worry about what the post is going to contain, how my photos are going to be aligned with the text or where I want to imagine myself as I write these posts. I could care less about the grade but being the person I am, I care a lot. Soon, I will be finished with this 'graded assignment' and start a new journey without actually restarting my blog. I'm going to continue to write and as I do so, I will not worry about a grade.
This is my final assignment for the whole year and after that I'm home free. I'm rereading this over and over and as I do so, I am realizing how dramatic I sound. Trust me, it's a school assignment, it isn't that dramatic. I'm just sitting here doing state testing and trying to figure out something that will get me a passing grade. Personally, it's quite amazing how things have changed so drastically since the beginning of the year. I write more, I've learned about new places, and I have certainly figured out how to use Blogger. That makes me happy. Also, I appreciate all of my family and friends that have followed me throughout my blogging journey and read all of my stupid puns or 'long' posts. It really means a lot, thank you! :)

Getting off of that dramatic note, I am done writing about the United Kingdom...for now...and I've decided to write about somewhere that's always intrigued me. Guess what it is? You'll never be able to so, it's Croatia. I watch vlogs online and I'm very surprised at how much vloggers travel... I watched this one video and the vlogger was traveling around the coast of this place and I thought, "Wow, I really want to go there." In my next post, you'll see why. Right now, since I have school, the closest I'm going to get to Croatia is writing about it in a post.
To conclude, thank you for putting up with my ramblings about the places that I dream of going to or the places I brag about already going to. I've literally tried to write this sentence over and over again without sounding too dramatic. I really need to calm down.. ANYWAYS! Thank you and I hope those of you that like to read my blog stay with me throughout the rest of this quest. :)
