I had several challenges while I was thinking of all of the ideas of what "bugs" me. I think one of the most interesting parts of this assignment is typically, when we look at something bugging us, we let it fly over our shoulder and do not look at why it really bugs us or how it can be fixed. Essentially, when we realize something bugs us, if we cannot figure out the answer to change that right off the bat, we do not take the time to figure it out. Twenty different topics that bug me personally was very hard to think of. When I first read over the assignment, I thought it was going to be very easy to come up with but I was wrong. As stated, when something bugs me, I just let it fly over my shoulder and not worry about it and do not think of it again. That was my biggest problem because I could not think of what truly bothered me in the past.
Nice list dude, very relatable to me. My condolences for your car I would hate that happening to my car! Nice list of bad bugs that could easily ruin anyone's day. Good on you for not letting it bother you so much. I also had that problem when trying to come up with 20 things to detail as bothersome to me.
ReplyDeleteDear Billy,
ReplyDeleteThis list was very relatable to me as well. I often have to deal with my alarm not going off, but instead it makes me late to class! I have learned to take as many afternoon classes as I can. I can also relate to the pet peeve about the washing machines. When I was a Freshman, I would have classes that were very spread out, so I would often attempt to finish my laundry in between. However, every time I went to do this, every single laundry machine was taken in my dorm room (all 4 of them), without fail. Hopefully this course teaches us how to look out for solutions to these problems more.
