Learning about the class’ content and what the final project will ultimately look like has been very different from my original expectations of what the class would look/be about, especially with the emphasis/lens of art so far in the class. I don’t view it as something negative, but definitely something I need to adapt to as I move forward with engaging in class content. Despite the nature of the class being unexpected, I’m still interested in what I can walk away learning and what I can make via the final project. 

I think for my final project I would want to share a story from my own history with wherever I end up choosing for my final project: a way of showing and allowing them to engage in my personal history through my chosen space. Right now I’m also taking LTWR 126 which is Creative Nonfiction, and although the content that I wrote about in a class last quarter that I went to (Personal Narrative), there’s been a large focus on place and the pathos of what places can bring to oneself. I think picking a location that evokes pathos from me would be a great choice, and the content of my station would be a story of my time there. 

Although I don’t know the exact location just yet, especially now that I have to take an electric outlet into consideration for powering my station, I think I would either go with a place that has a view of The La Jolla Project/Stonehenge on campus or the courtyard from Engineering Building Unit II. The La Jolla Project is one of the first places that I made memories with at UCSD, even before being admitted to the school; EBU II’s courtyard is somewhere I’m also fond of as it’s somewhere where I said farewell to a friend recently so I’d want to share these moments of companionship and what others could do to sort of feel the same experience as I have had.
