What I Carry and What They Say About Me
Based on the picture above of my belongings, one will be able to tell that I place a lot of importance on technology, which is evident from my Macbook, earphones, and camera SD cards. The fact that I carry around my Macbook shows that I am an avid computer user and do most of my work on my computer. From my earphones, one might infer that I spend a lot of time listening to music, and maybe that I do not like to hear a lot of outside noises and prefer to be isolated with my own music. The fact that I carry around not only one, but three different SD cards for my camera might cause some people to infer that I have an interest in photography. The yellow envelope with my name on it shows that I like keeping small items that represent some kind of memory, in this case my time at Princeton this summer. The yellow pack of mints show that I always need to have something in my mouth, usually gum, but in this case, mints. Lastly, the small piece of notebook paper with doodles and the phrase "bow ties and fezzes are cool" is something that represents the importance of my favourite TV show. From this small piece of paper, some may be able to infer that I like doodling and scribbling on small bits and pieces of paper, usually when I am bored.
However, more than the things that I actually did have in my bag during this class period, it is the things that are absent that define me more. The two of my most important belongings, my phone and my wallet, are missing from this photo. To be honest, my mom took away those two belongings after I got in trouble for staying out past my curfew. This shows that I do not always follow directions/rules, and can sometimes be rebellious.

I've learned so much about you learning about the things you carry and aren't carrying this day in particular. What TV show does the "bow ties and fezzes are cool" doodle refer to?
ReplyDeleteIt refers to Doctor Who, a British science-fiction program! The main character, the Doctor, always wears bow ties, and whenever someone comments on it, he justifies his fashion choice, saying that "bow ties are cool." In one episode, he was wearing a fez, and when someone scorned him, asking him why on earth he was wearing it, he replied, "Fezzes are cool." C:
