Reflection:
            Coming into this assignment I thought it was going to go pretty smoothly. However, the most difficult part of this assignment for myself was the character count – specifically because the link to the article took up so many characters. I felt it was nearly impossible to fit all of the layers into the tweet. Introducing the tweet was fairly easy, but I could almost never add in an ending sentence because the link was so long. In all of the tweets I posted, I did not have enough characters to mention or link any other related stories. Finding graphics to attach with the tweet was also difficult just because I can’t really take a video off of the article and post it without having the video myself. The links being so long also made it difficult to place the link somewhere in the middle of the tweet, not the beginning or end as page 241 mentioned.

Journal Week 12

People involved: 1 st Girl: Black hair light blue eyes Green NDSU scrubs  Big smile  2 nd Girl: Blonde hair  NDSU gold sweatshirt  Where: Starbucks 52 nd Ave.  Large tables in the middle of the room The story: Two girls were sitting at a table inside of Starbucks off of 52 nd Avenue.

The girl in the scrubs was consoling the other girl for maybe drifting away from her Christianity. They talked about how it was okay she lost herself for a moment, but now she needs to put more of an effort into going to her bible study group. This then led to a different conversation consisting of the girl in scrubs showing concern and giving advice towards ...
