Immersion by Josh P https://padlet.com/186206/lhvel8fn55zo Conversation with my mom. en-us 2018-05-07 15:36:43 UTC 2018-05-17 15:09:53 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Simplehouse.png Reality Check 186206 https://padlet.com/186206/lhvel8fn55zo/wish/258585409 2018-05-07 15:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/186206/lhvel8fn55zo/wish/258585409 Curiosity Review 186206 https://padlet.com/186206/lhvel8fn55zo/wish/261618084 When I was initially told about the project, the first person I thought to interview was one of my friends living in the U.K. He goes to military school, his accent is bizarre, and he’s just a funny guy. I thought it’d be interesting to learn more about what his life is like on a daily basis. But he’s about six hours ahead of me, so that didn’t work out. Instead, I resorted to interviewing my mother. I say “resorted” because like most people, I’d imagined interviewing a parent would be the least entertaining thing I could ever do with my time. 
That’s when I realized something. I’ve known my mother for my entire life. But I had to ask myself, how much do I really know about her? I never really talk to her about things that don’t matter. Stupid things, like what her favorite color or animal is. But once you know enough “stupid things” about someone, you start to really become familiar with that person. It just never occurred to me that I haven’t achieved that with my mom. So, that’s what I decided to do. Throughout the interview, I ask her a series of completely random, trivial questions about herself. Some of the answers were pretty in-depth, others were just so obvious that it’d be impossible to elaborate on them. And to me, at least, it was pretty interesting. Playing with the music was fun too. Wish I had premium, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I never anticipated it being one, so I was surprised when I discovered that it was. Not only did I learn a little more about my mom, but I got to have fun with music. I used to play guitar, but I dropped it a little bit ago because I had to stop taking lessons. So, I lost touch with that part of me. Doing this allowed me to reconnect with it for a while. After I finished the project, I played with soundtrap a little more. It was fun enough for me to do it in the middle of math class and while I was watching Netflix. Maybe I'll mess with it a little more over the summer too. ]]> 2018-05-17 15:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/186206/lhvel8fn55zo/wish/261619652
