Haiku for Mabel Strickland inspired by daily create 1/25: Cowgirl Honoree A rodeo performer Mabel was fearless  

Earlier today I trudged through the snow for lunch with Christine, Britta, Maddy and Kelsey. We walked from campus over to Kumo Sushi where we each ordered about three rolls. I ordered, as part of the lunch special, the spicy scallop roll, tuna & avocado roll and the spicy salmon roll. Before the rolls were ready … Continue reading "Writing Assignment – Instagram Is Down…DESCRIBE Your Lunch To Me!"

Dear Mom, Thank you for being an amazing mother. You may not feel like you have, but you’ve raised four fantastic daughters. Each one of us loves you very much. I’m so thankful I look forward to coming home and hanging out with you; I’m thankful for the wonderful relationship that we have. I hope … Continue reading "Writing Assignment – To my Mom"

Here is my daily create for January 25, 2016! Bonnie, may your legacy live on.

For week three we’re have to write about our own character, mine just happens to be the prettiest and wittiest saloon owner/bartender in the whole west. Sally “Shot” Winderson is her name and pouring the meanest whiskey in town is her game. Born in the heat of the summer of 1845 Shot was from a … Continue reading This town ain’t big enough for two bartenders…

This assignment required me to pick a quote that I liked and write about why I found it interesting. For this week’s task I was required to complete writing assignments that equaled six stars. This assignment was worth two stars. I was required to tie it into the western course theme. As such, I found … Continue reading A Meaningful Western Quote

For my western character, I decided to make my character a rancher. I read through the different types of characters and I thought this was the one that I would be able to do the most with. My character is a rancher named Bob. Rancher Bob is 33 years old and is the owner of […]

My final assignment bank post of the week (worth 3 stars to complete my 6 star total) is a writing assignment called tell us about your future life. This prompt tells you to write about yourself as if you were a small blurb in a history textbook. It tells you to focus on college life and […]

For this assignment bank post (which is 3 stars) called short story with random words and animal. This assignment told you to go to a random word generator and select for 10 random words. I did this and it gave me the following ten words: noble, aquarium, blueberry, distant, aggression, teeth, hope, honey, diva and emergency. Once given […]

I decided to complete this writing assignment because I never really thought about what my name means to me or why my parents decided to name me what they did. So, I decided to take this assignment in several directions. This assignment has definitely provided me a different perspective on how I view my name … Continue reading What’s in a name? Especially my name?

This writing assignment intrigued me because I really have never thought about making a bucket list. I have seen others make one or make comments about their own but, I never really thought about mine. I know there are many things I would like to do and see in my life so, according to the … Continue reading My Bucket List!

For one of this week’s tasks we were required to choose one of three provided writing assignments. I chose to complete this one. It is a letter about my hopes, dreams, and fears I plan to encounter in the next 10 years and where I hope to be at that point in my life. Dear Natalie, … Continue reading Dear Future self…

For this assignment I am to write five things for my bucket list and reasons why, so here I go! 1.) Compete in either and NPC Bikini or Figure show and win my pro card. I love the sport of bodybuilding and with my competitive dance background I’ve been itching to go back on a … Continue reading Dat bucket list doe

I have absolutely no idea what the future holds for me. This assignment requires me to write to myself 10 years from now. Dear future Tierra, You’ll be what, 30? when you read this. Dear God woman you’re old! Except not really, I’m just kidding. You’re writing this to yourself on January 24, 2016. There’s … Continue reading Dear 30 year old self…

For this little diddy we have to write about our Freshman year move in day, something I loved and hated all at once. I moved into Jefferson Hall around August 2013 at 10a.m. I had absolutely no idea where my room was and thought my Mom couldn’t be anymore embarrassing. My Mom and I unloaded … Continue reading I like to move it move it…. except not really…

Dear future Julianna, So 10 years from now means that you are 32. Hopefully at this time you have graduated medical school and are nearing the end of your residency. I imagine that you did more than the typical 4 years of residency and went to specialize more specifically in your career (thus making it […]

Today’s daily create was to make a western warning sign. For this, I used the picture that was put on the daily create website and uploaded this picture to paint. Once in paint, I painted over the original sign and then added a clipart image of a snake. I wasn’t specifically looking for a rattlesnake, but could […]

Today’s Daily Create challenge was to find a western themed road sign. Check out my tweet to see mine!

This weeks assignments are mostly writing and out of three options I decided to choose this one. My Mom is my best friend and closest confidant so of course I wrote a letter to her. It got kind of “mushy-gushy” but I love her so who care! Here’s to you Mama! Mama D, Words can’t … Continue reading To My Mom

This week, while more work than the previous, was certainly more intriguing. I did not carefully read the weekly schedule carefully so I only completed one daily create this week. It was simply enough, and sort of fun, so I am actually disappointed that I missed the others. The assignments were really good to get […]

This about me is a little different than my other because I want to focus on my internet and digital experiences. I came of age with the internet and consider myself rather tech savvy. I had an AOL when that was the thing and grew up using yahoo messenger. My original myspace account user ID […]

Hey friends of #ds106! This week started off way better than the previous one. I began the week on Sunday by completing a major of work required for the course since I knew the upcoming (past) week would be very hectic. I spent a majority of my time at work this week, so I am […]

Ever thought about decorating your room a certain way? When people walk into my room, they always say two things: 1. Wow, your room looks so cozy! and 2. You have a lot of books. I guess you could say I go for the “vintage hipster look.” I don’t know. It’s just a style that […]

For this assignment, creep on a move scene, I originally thought it would be a good idea to put myself in a horror movie, maybe even cover myself in blood or something. Although this was admittedly easier, it is, to me, somewhat more entertaining. After I decided against a horror film, I thought a Tarantino […]

Week two went a little more smoothly, I think. I completed one weekly assignment posts in the photography, design, and written sections each with the photography example linked below: ABC Pic The rest are linked to my front page under the titles haiku! and informed decisions. Were they the most creative? No. But I’m practicing. […]

Weekly Recap #2 This week was definitely more work than last week. I got started a little later than I wanted to, but having a snow day made it all just a little bit easier. The assignments were much more fun that I was expecting, especially the buzzfeed quiz. The only problem I had is […]

This week I completed several daily creates, an audio assignment on the DS106 Assignment Bank, and several of the assignments found on the Assignment Bank page. Embedded here in this post is all of my work for the week. Daily Creates: Check out my Strawberry Milk cow everyone! @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1473 pic.twitter.com/LEZbFT0aoz — Andrew Slupek […]

Created Assignment #3: A collage of your favorite vacation pictures Assignment description: “Make a collage of five pictures from your favorite vacation destinations. Then upload your collage to your flickr account. ” Flickr Post What do these pictures really mean?: These are 6 of some of my favorite vacations from the past few years.  I knew I […]

Hey future Andrew, This is from you ten years in the past, hopefully you have remembered writing this in the beginning of 2016 as the time has passed. Im assuming (hoping) that you are pretty successful by now, possibly working in Washington D.C. for an international foundation or internationally.  If not, I’m sure that you […]
