Eggs-cellent failure

So our egg drop came out kind of scrambled. Step 1 was pretty good. Our group knew what we had to do and we allocated time to each part of the project from drawing to the planning of the eggs' encasement. Step 2 was also good. We saw the materials we had to work with and planned appropriately for how to utilize them. We chose the artist but failed to distinguish weaknesses or strengths among the group because we all felt like we knew what was best. Step 3 was argued about for only a few minutes and then dismissed, as we agreed on one idea for the egg. Step 4 was planned out. We decided who would cut the straws, who would tape the straws together, and how everything was to be executed. Step 5, although we planned it all out, it didn't happen accordingly. Everyone wanted to do every job and we ended up with different size pieces of straw, tape was used everywhere and even though we ended up with a close enough replica of our intended plan it was kind of a mess. We finished our egg holder but gravity had other plans for our oval friend Ed.

Culture shock!

I came to America when i was 6 years old. I didn't really experience the culture in my native country so much but being here and listening to what my parents say shows me that family is much more significant in European countries than it is here. I also went on vacation to Florida and Vermont this past year. When you go over there, life is going at a much slower and relaxed pace than in the big apple. People aren't always rushing, people are calmer and it really changes your perspective too. I was waiting on line at a subway sandwich store and there were a bunch of people ahead of me and the worker was taking her time and making sandwiches so slowly. Instead of people complaining and telling them to hurry up, they were having friendly conversations and pleasantly waiting. Time is essential to us in New York and we are always on the move and even though this was only a few states away it is quite different and puts you in another state of mind.
