Reflection: I had a difficult time completing this entire “bug
list.” I came up with about five bugs without a problem, but it was a little harder
to come up with another fifteen things that really bugged me. I am not used to
critiquing the world I live, alternatively I like to face challenges and overcome
them – not just complain about things. This exercise was useful in discovering what I place a value on in my life. This exercise also helped me realize ways that I can better the world around me and to fix problems not only that I have, but that other students or people around me have as well.
Max I had a hard time with this assignment too! Not because it was a difficult or time consuming task but because I don’t typically focus on the negative aspects of life. I would much rather concentrate on things that make me happy not annoyed. It sounds to me like you don’t have the best roommate, I can totally relate to that as well. I think I could have come up with an entire bug list just for my roommates! We have a couple items in common feel free to check out my blog: http://entweekly.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteYour bug list is definitely an interesting read. It seems the inconsideration of folks is pretty widespread as I encounter it too in my daily life. From drivers being distracted on smart phones, to loud neighbors playing bass heavy music at all hours of the night. It happens to me all the time and its definitely no fun. I also had a pain of a time identifying things that bugged me and I had to give it much thought. I really did not think it would be that much of a challenge but boy I was wrong. I'm glad you are able to concentrate on the task of overcoming the challenges as opposed to just tolerating them. I have to learn to get better at that, hopefully sometime soon. Good luck this semester and you can read my "bug" list here: http://ruben-s-castro.blogspot.com/2016/01/bug-list.html
