Reflection
The bug list was indeed a difficult assignment to complete because you don’t notice the things that bother you, well it did with me at least. I would do a couple bugs each day so I wouldn’t get frustrated. The last five bugs were the hardest part of the entire assignment. It was an interesting assignment to complete because you never think “why does this happen?”. The assignment makes you look at things in a different perspective and gives you a different outlook. After going out to different places you get to notice the things that bother you and after trying to pinpoint the bugs it becomes easier. With more practice I can see that there would be a progression of skill calling the bugs out, also you could find solutions for the bugs.
I had a similar struggles on this assignment. Toward the last five I was definitely racking my brain for something else that grinds my gears. We shared some point on our lists such as Traffic, and other road trip struggles. I tried to limit the amount of traffic related "bugs" on my list or I would end up writing at least a quarter of my list on my traffic pet peeves. Over all this was an entertaining bug list. Good work!
ReplyDeleteThis was a pretty entertaining bug list Christian! I can really relate with the bug that talked about making a bowl of cereal. This one was not on my list, but I can imagine how irritating that could be! For some reason, I get really excited about food, and if that excitement is snatched away from me at the last second that would really upset me. LOL. The last five bugs or a struggle for me as well. As I’m reading everyone else’s list, I’m like wow, I never thought about that, but that would bug me as well.
ReplyDeleteWhats up Christian, I feel you like you had to get some stuff off your chest their, especially about going to the bathroom on the road. I thought that was funny, anyway, I think this was a good bug list. I also had some similar bugs that just get to me. I think that universal needs to calm down a little with the $20 parking. You are already going to spend as much or more on food and drinks. I think you could turn some of these bugs into business ideas, great job Christian.
ReplyDeleteHey Christian! I think you did a pretty great job with the assignment. Reading yours and Austin's posts have made me realize I may need to format my post a little better. In regards to the difficulty of the assignment, I found it difficult at first because there is not really much that bothers me in day to day life. In order to complete the assignment, I had to reach far for things which have bothered me in the past.
