Twitter and crazy hypertext

1. I think that my life would most likely be described at in stellar time. I feel like our lives were intertwined in some crazy way. It’s like we were at some point going through the same things. We all had midterms the following week and none of us wanted to study. On weekends, we had more time to update our twitter and see what each other was doing on their free time. It was so weird seeing what everyone’s weekend consisted of. Some people were working, hanging out with friends or flying across the country. Yet when our weekend ended, we all went back to our lives going to school and work.
It felt good see what everyone did outside of school. It made me feel like I was bonding with people I didn’t really know so well before. I still don’t know them that well, but I feel close with them by knowing what they are doing. It shows we are not all that different from each other. However, our differences make us who we are define us as a person.

2. I honestly don’t know what the designer intended for us to learn from the hypertext. I spent about thirty minutes on it and didn’t get anywhere! I was definitely running in circles. I wasn’t attracted to any words in particular. I did try to remember which words I clicked on so I wouldn’t click on them again. By that time, I forgot where I was in the story and could never really piece it together.
I think that what this says that while I like things to be stellar, it is easier for me to understand things in teleological time. I think that life in general is stellar, but when a story is being told, it is easier to be told in teleological time.
