B10: Edited: "Unfinished - Need to Edit, Indecisive"

Hi, I was wondering if I could run a few ideas by you. I am a very indecisive person and was having trouble sticking to one thing for this assignment because I am a person that always thinks and weighs pros and cons before they act. I have not submitted a proper blog post on time because new ideas keep coming into my head and I keep changing my mind. Can I try to show you my thought process of topics and see where I go with it after discussing it with you?
1) Astronomy Club: I started with astronomy club because I have not gone yet, but I will go this
Thursday.  The only issue is that it meets biweekly at most and therefore does not meet frequently enough. I’d only have like one maybe two meetings.
2) Office Hours: I thought about office hours because I haven’t gone to any yet and I have
preconceptions but it is not a discussed topic.
3) Stop Cussing/Being Negative: Next I went to “stop cussing” but I did not know how much I could write about that and it was too broad and less easy to document I think.
4) Vegan: I thought about going vegan but I just started Lift (the VT Powerlifting Club) and as I
am already very small, I think it would be too much to cut a bunch of things out of my diet. I am close to vegan enough as is, but will eat a burger or chicken every once in a while, when I really need food. Also, just because you are vegan does not mean you are healthy. I would probably get sick from not eating or just fail immediately.
5) Hydration: Then I went to staying hydrated which is what I wrote my blog post about but then I had all these other things going through my mind.
6) Diet: Then I thought about writing down everything I eat without changing my diet in any way, so I could observe where my money goes and what I am getting out of it. This is an
observation though and not an experiment.

My top choices are going vegan (Am I allowed to fail and cheat as long as I document it?), hydration (just because I have a friend with a condition where she has to drink water and stay on track with her drinking or she will faint and I think that drinking more water would be good for me because I often have mild headaches likely due to dehydration), and to stop cussing and make myself do stuff I do not like to do (because I’m lazy, such as eating three meals a day). Honestly, what I really need is to be more decisive and passionate about tasks

B1: The Loneliness of The Interconnected - Charles Seife

Charles Seife does an amazing job at getting his point across in The Loneliness of the Interconnected . His purpose in writing this piece is to give readers new and fresh insight. The use of a quotation at the beginning of his writing helps him catch the reader’s attention and give a glimpse of the topic he will address: human interaction. The evidence he provides gives his writing credibility and further supports his purpose to educate/inform about all aspects of information including its impacts on societies interactions and “common” beliefs. Seife explains that even though people feel comfort in numbers there is loneliness because their crowd becomes limited. He encourages others to question their environments by listing numerous times the internet has negatively led to isolation in society. People get caught up in their own information bubble because of how the media markets specifically to every individual. The author highlights the narrowness that media has created and explains...

B8: "The Unitasker"

Although the “Unitasker” went in each of Huxley’s 3 directions, there were never any concrete moments where you felt he was moving directly in a single direction. In the beginning, when the author introduced his topic he typically stayed in the direction towards the personal, the autobiographical, and inner experience, but as his writing progressed it was pretty sporadic. I’d say that the essay was much more like a conversation. He begins the essay with personal anecdotes and describes a setting, giving the readers context about where he is coming from and what he is trying to do. For his experiment, the author researched a lot about different theories involving his coined term “unitasking,” or focusing on one thing at a time and living in the now in order to help him with his experiment. He even goes as far as contacting and meeting with people who would most likely be the best at unitasking / limiting distractions and errors and proceeds to take their advice. He also asks questions ...

B5: CRA Intro Paragraph

             Everything in moderation? On April 26th, sixteen-year-old Davis Allen Cripe collapsed during art class and was pronounced dead in the hospital just over an hour later. The cause? Too much caffeine in too little time. Cripe ingested one McDonald’s latte, one large Diet Mountain Dew, and one energy drink over a two-hour period and it killed him. (Lynch) Energy drink risks are discussed worldwide across the internet and through the media in the forms of both positive and negative responses. I am going to analyze how the issue of energy drinks is publicized across a variety of sources, from formal to informal, including pages from a scientific journal, an article on NBC News, and a Red Bull energy drink advertisement as well as compare each medium’s message and rhetorical features.
