Reflection

I found this assignment to be extremely difficult. When I first read the assignment, it sounded very easy and something that I would be able to fly through and finish very quickly. That did not end up being the case. Coming up with 20 things around me in my daily life that bother me required me to think in a different capacity than I am used to. I found it interesting how difficult it was for me to do this assignment because I realized how little I pay attention or make note of the things that bother me. After doing this assignment, I imagine that I will pay much closer attention to the things that bug me on a daily basis.
