Taking a Phone Call

Hello Everyone, This week I chose the prompt, make a phone call and diagram the conversation. Even though on that day I had made a few phone calls, they were not interesting, they were more how are you. So ironically I had received a phone call that was a little more interesting and a little more humorous. "Hey you left your apparatus in the lab and it is going off, do you want to come grab it?" -Caller Now in my head at this point I was like okay I was in Blackington today maybe I dropped something and someone took it to a lab but nothing I had on me would be going off. "Um what lab?" -Me "Is this Mitch?" -Caller "Yes it is" -Me "Do you want to come pick it up at the lab?" -Caller "Um..." -Me "I think I have the wrong number... Sorry" -Caller "I think so too but it is all good" -Me And then we hung up and I went on with my day. Then about 15 to 20 minutes later I received a test messag...

Once Upon A Time

Hello Everyone, For this weeks journal entry I chose "Once Upon A Time". Now with this one, it was a fill in the blank story. So I wrote a story and I am going to tell you it. Now the bold words are the ones that were already written down. There was a Tau commander named Farsight. Every day he travels farther and farther into space to find new territories and planets for his enclaves. One day  he land on a strange new world. On this new planet he finds a portal and decides to travel through it. Because of that he becomes lost as the portal closes behind him and needs to find his way back. Until finally...  well I wrote the ending but I don't think I should share that and there is a reason why. In class we were instructed to conceive a narrative within a digital environment and early we were separated into four groups based on four of the larger forms of social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. I am in the Twitter group. So based on the assignment, I...

A Reminder to Smile

Hello Everyone, This week I chose the prompt where the page was blank and it said to ask the closet person to you what to do with this page. They said draw a smiley face and so a smiley face I drew. After I drew the face it made me think, do I smile enough. Now admittedly that is a pretty cheesy question to ask oneself but I can raise other questions. These thoughts can be based off of last weeks blog, Questions...Why Do We Ask Them, so feel free to read that one before this, https://mit48.blogspot.com/2017/09/questionswhy-do-we-ask-them.html. With the world we live in, it has been not the happiest of place. With all the recent terror attacks and hate groups, I think we need to remind our selves how lucky we can be. I find amusement in the little things, that is what makes me smile. Find what makes you smile, find what makes you happy. If you have found it then use it. I think we all need to remember to smile or find that one thing that makes us happy. Then at the end of the day, d...

Questions...Why Do We Ask Them?

Hello Everyone, For the first week's prompt I chose "10 questions I have". Thinking about it, we all have more than just 10 questions. Each question can have a level of complexity too, is it serious, is it comical, or just a simple we want to know the answer. For example, one question I wrote down was "Am I over thinking". I think we can all agree, that is a difficult question and there are multiple variables to that answer. A lighter question was "What am I going to do for dinner". That can vary on the options, where is there to eat, what am I in the mood for. But besides what the question truly is, why do we ask them? I think the one main answer to why we ask questions is we want to learn. Being a college student, almost every syllabus day the professor always says if we have a question ask. We are paying enough money for this education so asking questions is almost crucial for us to take advantage of it. Asking questions can then build off what ...
