Observations 3

Today when I woke up I immediately went on the computer. My home page is set to bgsu.edu and I wanted to check my email because I am expecting a message from my future employer. But since I am using wifi at BGSU, we have to sign in to use it before we’re allowed on. To sign in we have to go to a different web page, and which did I choose? Facebook of course. So I signed on to wifi then had to go onto Facebook since the page was already up. I checked my notifications immediately and I received a message from my cousin about a trip to Chicago over Fall Break and a friend request from some person I have no who they are. So, I responded to my cousin saying I can’t go to Chicago anymore for various reasons and denied the stranger from being my friend. Finally, after all that, I went back to bgsu.edu to check my email, which was my purpose for getting on in the first place.

Facebook is so distracting sometimes, as shown above. I went on the computer for one purpose and ended up on Facebook before I even knew it. I need to figure out a better way so I am not drawn to Facebook every time I have to sign on to BGSU’s wifi.
