Dan has posted a nice poll to his blog, asking you all to vote as to whether you think I'll count the words in your posts. Not to steal the fun of his poll, but I'll answer that question flat out, right now. No. No, I will not be spending my evenings counting the words in your blog posts. I don't need to. Why? Because I can tell if your posts are long enough just by looking at them. I'm THAT GOOD. Really.
But in all seriousness, I gave the word count as a loose guideline, or suggestion. 250 words is the length of two healthy paragraphs. It's not a lot of writing. If you seem to be close, you're clear. And, as I said, if you'd rather do shorter daily posts, that's fine too. The point I wanted to make with the word count suggestion was that I don't want people to misunderstand my expectations, and think that 3 one-sentence posts per week is ok for a "B"
Anyhow, sorry to skew Dan's poll results, but now you all know. Also, I'm enjoying reading through your blogs at this point, and you'll notice that on the left hand side of this blog, I've provided links to everyones' blogs. I recommend you all do this too. The option can be found under the Layout settings. I'll try to get around to posting a "how to" later this evening, but I encourage you all to poke around the site and see what settings and applications there are--feel free to format your blog however you'd like. My own webskills are relatively weak, so any tweaks you all make will probably put my blog to shame.
Hope everyone's having a great Sunday!
p.s. for the record, this post is 300 words long.

I gotta say, you need to let your students have a little fun here too =P
whether Natalie counts or not, I will write this blog as a journal. I do not want to forget anything happened when I am in US.
