Dear Coffee,

You make it possible for me to get through the day
I am so eternally grateful, I just cannot say
how much I love you so much
your taste, your energy, your touch.
So I’m writing you to say,
That you’re appreciated each and every day.

I have coffee every morning. Sometimes at night too, if I’m staying up really late. I guess I never really thought about how much my life would suck if I didn’t have it. Wow…I can’t think about it anymore.

Tuesday’s DC (2/26) – Spell ‘create’ using interesting materials/objects to form the letters.

First of all, how fun was this? I watched the video The Pilobolus VOTE Project before I did this daily create to see some examples. The pictures in this video are amazing and the people are very talented – go check it out! I knew I wanted my creation to be ‘themed’. So the first thing I did was pick a theme. I chose to go with a crafty one because I love to scrapbook and make crafts, that’s how I create.  I looked around my house for objects that could form the letters in the word ‘create’ that were crafty. It was a little challenging but it got me thinking out-of-the-box {the best way to think!!}

Thursday’s DC (2/28) – Pick a vowel and write a one paragraph story avoiding words that contain that vowel.

I have a midterm tomorrow in Ling. I have to know all different vowel noises and classifications. I wanted to do this daily create so I can relearn and relook over my notes concerning vowels. The vowel letter that this paragraph is concerning is a high, back, tense, and ** vowel. ** = something I cannot write since this vowel is in it. ** = when lips are in the shape of an ‘o’. This was a trickster daily create assignment. However, I enjoyed thinking on the other side of the box.

This was SO fun! I picked the vowel ‘u’. Some words I had to change. {I couldn’t say “out of the box”, so I said “on the other side of the box”} This daily create really got me thinking and helped me study for my Linguistics midterm tomorrow!! {WHY did I wait until my last semester to take Linguistics 101??!}

Friday’s DC (3/1) – Pretend you’re a panda and talk about what you think they would think about.

Yes. This was an audio daily create. I cannot believe I opted to do this! And I wasn’t even pressured {I still have two weeks to do three daily creates}. I wanted to do an audio daily create because these two weeks are intensive audio. Practice makes perfect!

I don’t really know much about pandas. I’m guessing they would eat a lot and I was actually eating an english muffin when I read TDC prompt. So when you think I’m chewing, I really am. Can you say Foley artist? :) See what the other DSers thought pandas would think about here.

Saturday’s DC (3/9) – Write a response from your underappreciated object in DC 413.

{scroll up to read my ode to my underappreciated object – it is the first DC on this post}

Thursday’s DC (3/14 – Happy Pi Day!) – Take a picture of something you collect.

Oh yeah. I collect(ed) all of the Friends season DVDs. I can’t get enough of these. I can, and probably have, watched each episode over and over and over again. It is my “go-to” show. Since I’m done collecting them, I guess I need to move on to another show to buy all of the seasons. Any suggestions??
