Dating a Professor...

This week we had the option of choosing between two prompts: "Write something that would get you fired, expelled, or disowned. (Scribble over it so nobody can ever read it.)" or "Write a letter to someone you hate. Try to make them laugh." After reading this week's prompt choices I found myself struggling to come up with an idea for either prompt. I do not think it is right to hate people and I try not to hate anyone so I thought it was obvious that my choice for this week's prompt would be, "Write something that would get you fired, expelled, or disowned. (Scribble over it so nobody can ever read it.)"

Once I chose, "Write something that would get you fired, expelled, or disowned. (Scribble over it so nobody can ever read it.)" I had to think about what I could write about for some time. I didn't want to go overboard with what I was writing because, even though this is fake, I didn't want my readers to think too harsh of thoughts when reading it. So after some time I finally thought of something that I thought some of my readers could find funny and relate to. I also thought it would make sense since I am in college.

I wrote the words, "Dating a Professor..." in my journal.

By dating a professor I could get expelled from my university.

I was thinking this would be a great interactive narrative!

It would start out at the beginning of a semester. Each day you are going through the motions like every other previous semester you have had before. Then one day you are sitting in class bored, the professor is teaching like usual. As the professor is teaching you notice and feel as if certain parts of the lecture are being targeted towards you (but you also pulled an all nighter for an exam) so you are probably just sleep deprived. As the semester is dragging you you start to notice more and more of this professor aiming hints in class lectures toward you, but you also don't mind.

I would want this narrative to go the way I stated above but I would put different options into it along with different classes with professors that people could start dating, that way it wouldn't be specific to one gender. I would also make alternate endings in case the readers reading the interactive narrative wouldn't like the idea of dating a professor. This is just a rough brainstormed idea.


Our group interactive narrative is a mystery titled "Escape." Our link takes you to our twine page and it says it is by Cassie but we all worked on it together. It says it is only done by Cassie because Twine does not let you share and have more than one author like GoogleDocs does so we all worked on it together under Cassie's name. The link is embedded in the title of our interactive narrative! Enjoy!

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...
