Happy National Coffee Day!!

This week we were asked to pick between the two prompts called "Ask somebody to coffee. Afterward, write down everything you remember about the conversation." and "Make a phone call. Diagram the conversation." I did not find this weeks prompts as challenging as I usually do but I did find them both intriguing. I felt as if I could easily answer both this week but I chose the prompt, "Ask somebody to coffee."

Here at UPJ I am the president of a club on campus that I will keep unnamed for the sole fact that I like the anonymity of it. Also, I feel the need to keep things a bit private because I do not want people knowing what my advisor and I discuss regarding the club. If anyone has seen the corresponding Instagram post then you may have noticed it is not very detailed. I did that on purpose because if the world was meant to know the details then the world would have been invited to coffee as well.

Anyway, this was my first coffee date I have ever been on so I was excited! Plus it was on my birthday which made it even better! (I'm always in a good mood on my birthday, who isn't?) But that morning everything seemed to go wrong. I woke up late and was late to my coffee date. You could imagine how bad I felt but my advisor was super nice and pushed it back. My first coffee date was a huge success. 

I chose this prompt, because like many of my peers, I usually can't function without coffee in the morning. It has become part of my routine and when I don't have a cup of it in my hand things just feel thrown off. I also chose this prompt for today because it is nation coffee day! So if you have not yet, you need to go get yourself a cup and sip it slowly and enjoy it!

Favorite Method(s) of Procrastination

This week we had the option to pick between the two prompts titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" or "Chart your latest project against this shape. In what ways does it match? In what ways does it differ?" As per usual, both prompts sparked my interest but when it came down to picking one I chose the one titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" One of my most common methods of procrastination, like many of my peers, is my phone. Social media, texting, and music are my main problems when it comes to turning to my phone instead of my schoolwork or whatever else I am supposed to be doing. I would say my next most common method is food. When I am working on something I am constantly thinking about everything in my kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. I am constantly snacking and it drives me crazy. I should probably weigh like 50...

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words or Sometimes About 40.

This week we were asked to pick from two prompts titled, "Write a fan letter" or "What are the secrets of your trade? What would you lose by sharing them? What would you gain?" Instead of picking between the two prompts suggested I chose the prompt titled, "Pictures can say whatever we want them to say. (Come up with your own captions.)" This page shows six columns. The first three are triangles and the last three are circles. I answered the first row then had two friends answer the next two rows. The two friends I had answer the bottom two rows are engineers and I think some of their answers help show that. I found when I asked them to answer all they could think of were math equations used to solve for triangles and circles. I find the different perspectives very interesting. I chose to make this collaborative because we have been doing collaborative work in class. By working on a collaborative social media presentation, a collaborative narrative, an...

"What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?"

I find myself challenged with the prompts every week. I found this weeks prompts, "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" and "Who do you feel are your competitors? Could you turn them into collaborators? How?" to be the most challenging so far. The prompt I chose to do was "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" I did not write anything long or elaborate on this page because I find myself keeping what I wrote on this page to myself often. I wrote four words on this page, "My thoughts or feelings."  Growing up I was always afraid to speak out in fear of being rejected even though my dad always told me to stand up for what I believe in even if no one else does. It has always bothered me that I always kept quiet because some conversations I have been apart of in high school would really fire me up. Instead of saying anything I would simply nod or say, "alright" and walk...
