1. What I attempted to do was greet someone wearing a womans jacket (also in a odd spot such as the 1st floor of the library), and see how their instincts would be perceived on me

2. People asked me why I was wearing a womans jacket and asked if I had more clothes. Some people thought my name was Ricky or Marsh. And they believed my major was interior design.

3. Yes, they would respond differently than ordinarily, more as if it was a questionable greeting.

4. Overall, I believe first assumptions can be varied depending on how you represent yourself, the people I talked to were of the most part friendly but also hesitant when it came to answering questions.

Trapped Demons

1. I choose the piece of art to portray a feeling of depression and anxiety.
2. What I hope was communicated was having a certified feeling or thought that could be connected to this image.
3. I would say it half success, meaning that people diagnosed with depression or anxiety might understand the meaning to this image, compared to someone who isn’t diagnosed with either or and might interpret a different message.
4. I would find an artwork similar to this piece, but representing whats opposite being represented in this photo.
5. Climate changes over time through photos or artistic work.

QUESTIONS

1. I chose this story because I’m always hearing or being reminded to save water due to past and current causes of Californias drought
2. I believe this photostory defines its purpose and reasonings of natural drought effects, though I believe I should have added impacts that drought may have caused amongst California communities
3. The second image really stands out and shows what the drought can cause
4. Yes, such as my 4th picture, it shows fancy houses in a desert, but it can represent an image of what people in those conditions might have to undergo when it comes to water shortage responsibilities (e.g, watering lawn, showers, cleaning, etc)
5. Next time I would add more information on how the droughts have effected inner parts of California cities
6. Next time, I would do a photostory of how Californias financial economy is effecting citizens today in wealthy and poverty standards.

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
