- My devices all have a different charger
- The devices might have different chargers because they are not all the same brand or they might need different adapters for the amount of energy they need.
- Getting from Gainesville to home or home to Gainesville is a long trip and expensive

Reflection:
Coming up with the list of the 20 things that bug me was not easy. I usually do not think about what bugs me, I just think about it when the "bug" happens and get over it pretty quickly. It was also hard to come up with the reason behind the "bug" because when I get bugged I don't usually reflect on the source or the why of the "bug". This assignment did help me understand what bugs me and the next time something from the list happens I can think of the why so that I might not be as bugged as I usually am.
Hi Maria, I feel the same way about coming up with the list. Usually when small things that "bug" people happen, we often complain and then forget about it quickly. Its incredible to see how many solutions there could be for these small problems, and how many times we ussually ignore the oppurtunities that are in plain sight.
ReplyDeleteYour bug list made me notice other "bugs" that I deal with day to day as well. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Maria,
ReplyDeleteI really like the 'bugs' you came up with, specially the last one where you said people can't pronounce your last name. I also have an uncommon last name and 99% of the time people don't say it correctly. I also liked how organized your post was with the numbers and bullet points, making it easy to read. Great job!
Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteI found your bugs for the most part to be very relatable. I think one of the reasons we do not dwell on bugs and just move past them is because we do not consider that they can be improved or fixed and do not want to get too frustrated over something that seems small. I think this assignment was super helpful in changing the way of thinking to something constructive. Thanks for posting!
Maria,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your thoughts on your blog! I really enjoyed reading this post and found that we have very similar things that bug us. I definitely found it difficult in the beginning to come up with things that bug me. You never really think about those things until they actually happen! Oddly enough, I found that once I was able to come up with a few things that bugged me, I was able to piggy back off of the rest.
