how has this blogging helped me??

hmmm, well to be quite honest, I really do not like blogging. I think it is just something I have to do to pass a class, much like anything else---like reading a book or listening to a lecture but I don't get much out of blogging. Mostly because we have to blog on specific things and I am not much of a deep thinker so a lot of the time I am just kinda saying "WHAT...?...?.....? and I am without a single word on the subject. Then there comes the times where we have to blog on what someone else has to say. If I don't have time to blog in the first place or email like I like to, how do I have time to read somone elses blog?? REALLY, NOW. Have I mentioned that this last summer when I was saying my good byes to all my family and friends that I apologized early?? I told them I would be busy and may not be able to visit with them but just know it's only temporary and I do love them, I am just focusing on school...I am pretty busy with just studying and being a mom and wife. I guess what I have gotten out of this is patience in doing things I don't really like. I can tolerate it and will do it because it is assigned to me.
