Reflection
When first sitting down to come up with the Bug List, I had found it challenging to think of little things that bugged me. Relying on solely my memory it was very hard, and I was only able to come up with three things. Not being able to think of any other “Bugs” I had left the assignment to come back to a later date, thinking that there was going to be no way I would ever be able to come up with 20 things that bug me!
It wasn’t until later that day as I went about my day-to-day activities, with the Bug List in the back of my mind, that I had started to jot down the things that would bother me. Going through just one day I had found 8 little things that had bothered me!
After just two days of having the assignment in mind, I was able to easily come up with 20 things that had bothered me in just the two days that went by.
Opening my mind to see the annoying problems in day to day life had made me come to the realization that a lot of things do bother me! As well that a lot of things need a fix!
I agree with your reflection regarding the difficulty of this assignment. It was extremely difficult to sit down and right down twenty bugs all at the same time. So, I decided to write down two to three bugs a day to make it easier and actual reflect daily what bugs me. In the same manner you created your bug list I completed mine. It was easier to reflect in the moment than sitting down trying to come up with twenty different things. I find it intriguing to determine where the bug comes from and discover what the root of the problem is. It’s fascinating to actual think that all the things that bother you can possibly be a problem waiting to be solved.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that the assignment does become easier once you start incorporating conscience thinking into your everyday habits. Sometimes we just don't realize how many things get on our nerves. It's almost like we are numb to the world. My favorite part of your assignment was the condensation point. I never realized how annoying that was too! I mean the cup wets whatever its under which is why coasters exist! I feel like your post is strong, but you could have elaborated more on why the problems exist. Overall great job!
