My Bug List

Here is a list of 20 things that bug me, or in other words, my bug list:

5.)         When it is extremely warm in Garnett Auditorium by the end of my double block on Thursdays.

Identifying 20 different things that bugged me was quite difficult. The first few were simple because they were things that had very recently occurred or occur often so they were easy to come up with. To come up with the rest of my bugs, I had to run through all the activities I participate on any given day. Even then I still didn’t have quite enough so I had to leave the list and come back at a later time to add a few more that I experienced in the time away from my list.
