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 message from that call explaining to me that it was one of my good high school friends father and he has a coworker named Mitch and accidentally called the wrong one. While taking the call though when he asked for Mitch and my name being Mitch it kinda freaked me out, almost making me believe it was a prank call. But it all turned out in the end that everything was alright. I still do not know what was going off in the lab or what lab he works at but that is probably none of my business. There is not much meaning to this blog post other than to tell this story but I can ask a question to the readers. Have you every received a call from somebody that kinda freaked you out?

Do I Really Want to Say This?

Hello Everyone, This week's journal prompt is " Write something that could get you fired, expelled, or disowned”. Well since wee post the journal prompts online, well I first thought, why would I post something online that could possibly get me in trouble. Well also we were encourage then to turn our answer from this prompt into an interactive narrative so I thought this is a little more reasonable. What I first though was an insult that I could possibly tell a boss one day and how I could turn this into an interactive narrative. Well the narrative that I thought of was a scenario about you going to you boss to quit after you felt like you have been mistreated at the company and the boss has done nothing to help you. The narrative would continue on with you walking into your boss's office a little hot heading, fired up, and ready to tell it to your boss and quit. Then the narrative would have the player select what they would want to say to there boss and then there woul

Being Boring

Hello Everyone, This week the journal entry I chose was "Describe what I do in six words". This prompt took me a bit to think about because it made me think well what do I really do on a day to day basis. As a college student I do my studying but then what else? I play video games, watch movies, hang out with friends, etc, but when I reflect on it, I came up with what I do in six words... I am a boring college student. I think there is something to say about being boring. I enjoy the simple things in life, I just like to sit back and watch what is happening, that is not to say that I won't chase what I want but I'm not one to go and have a wild time out. I like sitting in my room with my friends and just talking and bs'ing the night away. I'll go out and have fun with them, but we don't go looking for fun, we just go have it. I think boring can be a good thing to be, I get my work done, I can manage my time affectively, and I can still have a great life.

Taking A Walk

Hello Everyone, This week in class we continued talking about location based narratives. To continue on my idea from last week of a game of "Where am I?", the game itself evolved into a greater idea about our campus. I wanted to show the little places on campus for people to see how nice this campus it. Showing bits and pieces of the campus can show followers or viewers who don’t go here, how nice the campus is. But then it allows students who do go here to partake in a fun game and seeing how well they do know the campus. While taking pictures for this narrative, I myself learned a few things about certain locations that I didn’t know before. For example, the stone bench down behind the nursing building and to the left of Heather Lodge, is a stone podium. If I didn’t take the time to go explore, I wouldn’t of found out. So overall, through these pictures, I hope to spread and have some fun with the beauty of UPJ’s campus.   To help expand on this idea this week, the jo
