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 journal prompt this week was, take a walk during your lunch break. So after lunch I took a walk around our campus to find some of those small beauties on campus. While on this walk, the idea of expanding on my narrative came to me. Like I explained up above, this greater idea of just a game was overall a good thing in my eyes. Fall is a beautiful time I think we can all agree. If we can take in those short few week of enjoyable weather, I believe we can find the beauty no matter where we are. And if you're in the UPJ area, we all need to brace for the winter coming!

If you would like to see the pictures I took and guess too, here is the link to the Twitter moment!

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....

Watching

Hello Everyone, This week in class we are talking about location based narratives. A location based narrative is a narrative that uses a certain location to help tell a story and engage the viewers. So our assignment is to create a location based narrative. To help come up with an idea for this assignment, I turned to the weekly journal post which I chose sit/stand/document the same spot each day for a week. The spot I chose was the main lobby of the Living Learning Center (LLC). I documented this spot each day when heading to class or to lunch in the LLC café around the same time. I will break it down by a list below. Monday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people. Two were heading to the resident side of the LLC and one was going to the café. Tuesday: I was heading to lunch in the LLC. I didn't see anybody in the lobby when passing through. Wednesday: I was heading to class and saw 3 people standing over the news papers and 2 people were walking into the building. Thursda...

Telling a Lie

Hello Everyone, This week, my journal prompt is " Make up a really good lie about yourself to tell a stranger. Write a story to back it up". And well I thought about what I could lie about myself and whether I should go extreme or keep it simple. I decided extreme because as the saying goes, you can't make this up. Here is my story... I moved to Pittsburgh when I was five years old. My family we came from a small town in England called Gateshead. We lived near our family church, The Cathedral Church of St. Nicholas. But we had to move to the states because of my mom needed to help her family. When we first came to the states, my accent cause the kids at my new school to make fun of me that I eventually changed schools and forgot my English accent. At my new school, I did my best to learn an American accent and before I knew it, my English accent was a thing of the past. I feel guilty of hiding my true identity but I've kept it a secret for so long that my American...
