2A- Bug List

ENT 3003, 2A- Bug List
21 January 2020

1. During school hours, scooter parking is always crowded, making it hard to easily find a spot to park in before class.
Why? There is not enough scooter parking on campus.
2. When my clothes are in the wash, the water pressure is really low everywhere else in my apartment.
Why? The majority of the water is being used for the washing machine cycle, making it difficult for water to reach other places like the shower or sink.
3. I am always really cold in the morning when I wake up during the winter.
Why? The heat is not on high enough in my apartment.
4. There are no school-busses in San Diego, my home town, that pick kids up from their neighborhoods or houses to go to school in the morning.
Why? Most schools do not have adequate funds in order to do so.
5. From 5-7pm, the rush hour traffic is really backed up by Lake Alice on my way home from swim practice.
Why? There are not enough lanes in that area to keep traffic moving.
6. I can't drive my car to practice in the morning even when it's really cold.
Why? Because there is no free parking on campus, a decal is required in order to park anywhere on campus if parking has not been lifted.
7. It is a 5-10 min walk from the closest scooter parking lot to one of my classes on campus.
Why? There are not enough scooter parking lots that are close to some buildings on campus.
8. My phone dies really quickly.
Why? Because it is an older version of the iPhone, so the battery life is shorter.
9. I have to rush from practice some days in order to make it to class on time.
Why? Sometimes practice will run late, or our coaches will keep us for longer than 3 hours.
10. I have a lot of homework to do over the weekends.
Why? Between practice and class, I do not have a lot of free time to get everything do throughout the week days.
11. There are long lines at the restaurants on campus during lunch hours.
Why? There are not enough options on campus or there are not enough divided lines at the restaurants in order to make the service more efficient.
12. The wifi in my apartment is really slow, especially when trying to watch lectures or videos.
Why? There are too many devices using the wifi at one time.
13. My backpack starts to hurt my shoulders after wearing it for too long.
Why? It is too heavy and stuffed with books, my laptop, food, and textbooks.
14. I can never find water fountains on campus to fill up my hydro flask.
Why? There aren't enough water dispensers around campus.
15. In one of my lecture classes, I can't hear everything the professor says.
Why? She doesn't use a microphone so her voice doesn't echo throughout the room to hear her clearly.
16. I find it hard to get ahead on my school work.
Why? My week is too busy with classes, meetings and swim practice in order to get ahead, so I end up doing most of my homework for that week during the weekend.
17. My laptop dies quickly during the day when I do not have time to charge it.
Why? I forget to charge it in between classes or at night when I'm home.
18. Some nights it's hard to sleep.
Why? Because my neighbors are loud and the walls in my apartment are relatively thin.
19. I am unable to attend lecture classes for this class.
Why? My swim practice time interferes with my Entrepreneurship lecture time.
20. The indoor pool is always really cold during practice, making it harder to go fast.
Why? It is difficult to regulate the pool temperature at all times because there is only one employee who has control over that.


Reflection:
I found this assignment to be particularly challenging simply because I had to think really hard over the span of a few days in order to come up with 20 bugs. It required me to try to pull from my memory and to think "What has annoyed my in the past recently that would work in this assignment as a "bug" and its reasoning for being a 'bug'?". While completing this assignment I also felt like I was being very negative and constantly complaining about third-world problems I would consider as "bugs" that occur throughout my day. Even after something small happened that I considered a "bug" I immediately had to write it down in my phone in order to memorize each one, so I would definitely consider the memorization aspect of this assignment to be a challenge as well. However, I found the "why" part of this assignment to be relatively easy because most of the answers were straight forward and a step I would need to consider in order to get to the root of that specific problem.

  1. Hello Kalie! It looks like most of your bugs are related to each other. We don´t share a lot of bugs, but I can for sure relate to some of your bugs. Definitely, the ones about being cold, Im cold all the time (in the morning as you mentioned, in the pool...). I also agree with you when it comes to lunch options on campus, I feel like its not enough.
    I dont share the ones about doing all my work on the weekends, because I try to keep everything up to date, but It makes sense with your swim practice.
    Very interesting overall to read your post!

  3. Kalie, I enjoyed reading your post. I've read a couple just because and it was funny to see how different people view the world and what and how things affect different groups of people. Compared to the things that bug me, your list seems to have similarities that coincide with mine like when you talk about why you cant get ahead of your school work because you busy with classes and swim practices.
