Reflection: To be honest, it was definitely challenging to come up with this list. I had a hard time coming out with 20 things that bugged me even though they are really easy to detect on a daily basis.
Hey Carolina, after reading your list, I found that a few of the items on there were also on my list. Disorganization and technology that doesn't work both definitely bug me. As for critique, I just think that your "why" explanations could be a little longer.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolina, I think upon first glance at your list the concept of how truly annoying entries number 4 and 15 actually are would get lost upon some people when shown in the same spotlight as poverty and dictatorship. However, I completely understand how bad humor and the constant hovering of store personnel can change a person's mood. Both issues seem to result from another person being oblivious to the situation. One person who is unaware they are aren't funny and in the other scenario staff is unaware their presence is undesirable because no one wants to feel under surveillance.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a good thing that coming up with 20 things that bugged you was difficult, maybe you look at life in a more positive light so you don't notice these things! Keep this positive attitude and this good work up for the course!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolina,
ReplyDeleteIt seemed that half of your list are daily struggles of our first world lives, and the other half was related to behaviors of the world around us. It is good that you found this list hard to write up because your "bugs" all seemed very understandable. Definitely seems to mean that you are pretty much cool, calm, and collected. Hope that never changes for you!
