In terms of my data project I’m working on two drafts that track my emotions and that track my cursing. I chose these because I had the intention of having more control over each of them in a healthier way. I personally am a person that is quick to react to things and that a lot of followers that aren’t necessary slip. In general, I want to stop cursing and this project just showed me where I’m most likely to curse at, which is with my friends. I tracked all this data on the worksheet, which was the easiest for me and I use my Notes app to track my curse words. I found this to be very helpful when trying to break down the specifics of how I felt in each hour and even who I was with as I cursed each of the three days. There wasn’t anything that was too difficult about tracking the data myself, but I didn’t realize that I had the connotation of trying to stop. So far from my results I’ve realized that I like to curse a lot when I’m very happy and around friends. I wasn’t surprised by these results, but I never realized how much I did curse even when I’ve been trying to stop cursing lately. I also found it a bit surprising how much I’m not angry, annoyed, sad or fearful of anything. The visuals I plan to use to express this information are with a popsicle stick fan with pom poms and buttons showing how the curse words just pop out. For my emotion data I tracked I am thinking of putting it on paper since it is a large amount of fluctuating data that has lots of different meanings. So far I have started the form of my popsicle fan. I haven’t put any pom poms or buttons or made a key yet though. I think everything will turn out great though with steady progress!
