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!

Is it Really Plagiarism if it's Your Work?

This week we had three prompt options to choose from that included: "Make a poem out of newspaper headlines" or "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." or "Make a collage from items in your wastebasket [or steal scraps from someone else's wastebasket.]" This week I had a hard time choosing between all three of the prompts because they were all very intriguing. The prompt I ended up choosing to do was "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." I chose this prompt because I find it odd that one can plagiarize oneself but I guess it's possible and I wanted to try it for myself. I thought plagiarizing myself would be the easiest thing in the world. I was wrong. I found it more difficult than taking things offline and citing them. I did not want to break my own line of thinking in my original paper but for the sake of this prompt I ...

"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...

I was a Mother at 18.

This week we had the option to choose between two prompts: "Make up a really good lie about yourself to tell a stranger. Invent a story to back it up." or "Make a mixtape for someone who doesn't know you." As usual, I found both prompts intriguing and I am interested to hear the different mixtapes people made if anyone in class chose that prompt, but I chose the prompt "Make up a really good lie to tell a stranger. Invent a story to back it up." My lie is, I was a mother at 18. At 18, you think you know everything. You tell your parents, "I'm legally an adult, you can't tell me what to do!" If it is not that then it is something similar. You think you are your own boss and are mature enough to make your own decisions. I also thought this at 18, or at least I did until I was forced to make decisions for someone other than myself. Someone who was helpless, who relied on me to care for them and have their best interests in mind. At...
