I believe that stellar time influences my life and other lives based on Twitter. After reading every ones’ updates I felt that how some of my feelings about some things are similar to them and also how that affected my daily life. For example, after seeing Professor Milstein’s post that she goes to sleep at 6 a.m. and only getting two hours of sleep, I felt that I am not the only one who sleeps less than everyone. I actually live in Long Island, so I have to travel almost two hours every day. That is why I always complain how I can not finish my work and get good hours sleep. But now after I seeing that post, I believe that I must be lucky that I get more sleep than my Professor. Also, another peer posted that she also has accounting exam and studying for it. This whole weekend I was struggling with Accounting. After experimenting with Twitter I have seen that I had similar experiences with some of my peers. Also, this weekend my friends from Buffalo came to visit New York. But I had so much work and my accounting exam was on Monday that I could not manage and go visit them. I felt really bad in the end. So, here I felt that stellar time influences my life most. Also the Twitter experiences showed that how stellar time interacted with my life and all the students’ posts. It showed how a barrier or a hardship affected peoples’ daily lives.
After playing with the hypertext, I felt that Borges wanted us to have patience and see different words or parts of stories differently. For example, if I clicked in one word it would take me to another part of the story. I felt like something was missing and turned the story in a new direction. So, I felt that his idea was to make the reader have different opinions and have their own conclusion about the story. I was attracted to some words such as murder and attacked. I think this is because I saw a dream last night about a thief who murdered a guard somewhere. So, maybe this says about me that if something happens I keep thinking about it over and over again. That is why I was attracted to those words because I have seen a dream like that and kept thinking of it over and over again.

I thought it was interesting that you had to forego spending times with your friends while other people on twitter were hanging out with their relatives and loved ones. I do have one suggestion though -- I know you believe you don't have the time, but taking just an hour a day to do something very special and relaxing for yourself will give you more energy than sleep. Do some yoga, get a manicure, or just sit and listen to music while you massage your hands and feet. I promise giving yourself that hour for "me time" will make a huge difference :)
ReplyDeleteYes Professor, i do take the time off for that but that day i could not go because you know i live so far that spending my time with friends would have wasted my whole day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion Professor I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI guess the person who was studying for accounting was me,so i decided to respond to your post=)
ReplyDeleteI feel like Borges wanted us to believe that every one of us is an individuality so we choose different words and scenarious for ourselves; therefore, i do agree with you that we are seeing the different parts of the stories differently.
I agree that people can find something in common while twittering. And also lead other to put up similar messages.
