What do I care about?

Happy New Year everyone! With a new year, I find myself asking new questions and trying to learn new things. I don't really have resolutions as such, but I do want to enjoy this year a little more since the last was such a stress. To kick off the new year, a very apt university task came about just before Christmas, which I feel gives me a real sense of reflecting on the person I am and who I will be in the future. Take a look at the brief: 

Over the Christmas break and as self directed study on 6th January we want you to think of something that you want to remember in the future and memoralise it in several different ways. This could be by Facebook, Twitter, email, photograph,sculpture, painting, film, Youtube, novel/short story, letter, text, message sent to outerspace, theatre, dance, biography, phone call, mural, demonstration, costume, song, sketch, poem, rap, code, postcard, blog, book, album. Just a few ideas. The materials could be found as well as (re)constructed and we would like you to try to experiment with at least 6 different forms, methods or systems.

I really struggled with this at first. I think there are a lot of things I'd like to remember! Everyone wishes they remembered more of their past and so picking just one thing is very difficult. However after a classmate linked his blog (which you can view here ) I realised I had to think about what I wanted to know about myself in the future to know what I wanted to remember and memorialise now. Because of this I turned to a fantastic site called wordle. I decided to put down what I cared about now to see what I could touch on in this task.

Doing this helped me realise that I want to remember everything I care about now, so that I can look back in the future and compare. Which is great! Now I just have to decide how to memorialise this in at least 6 different ways. Though I think I already have a couple of ideas.
