     Why? He does not mind sharing with others who double dip. 

Reflection: When I first began thinking of 20 things that bug me it was difficult, because I tend to be easy going. It started to get easier as I thought of my previous trip to Chicago, things that disgust me, and my day to day routine. I also thought of the problems I faced throughout my day at school. Some of the things on the list I am able to control such as wearing gloves on a cold day to keep my hands warm or keeping my headphones on a ring so they do not tangle. On the other hand, most of the things on the list I am unable to control, for example the amount of people at the gym or the time my class was scheduled. Overall, coming up with the list was difficult until I began analyzing my day.

  1. Hi Jessica,
    I thought your post was very intriguing and interesting. I loved how specific each of your bugs were, with some giving exact times, some giving exact locations, some giving exact people, and more. After reading your reflection I have to agree that some things can be controlled whereas some cannot, which was a great point that you made! Overall, I thought this was very enjoyable to read.
