Coming up for with a topic for the instruction manual was a bigger challenge than expected. The main reason for this was that, it hard to come up with an instruction manual that isn’t out there. Based on the exercise of last class, where we had to write an instruction manual about anything, I’m thinking of using that same topic and expanding on it.
As the new assignment is coming soon, I took some time to think about what kind of instructional manual I want to write about. From my time spent, I looked at many topics ranging from sports to technology. Ultimately, I feel more compelled to write about food. Hence, my paper will most likely be to write about food since I believe it is a good topic for an instructional manual.
The instruction manual is in my mind but at the moment I am more preoccupied with the math test i have. I have an idea for the instruction manual but it may seem broad but seems like a instruction manual i would see. Also thinking of a another test I will probably have next week so I’m probably gonna have to read those two chapters and memorize it during the weekend. I don’t know if it was only me but i found it kind of funny when the German leader visited the white house and trump just avoided eye contact as well as not shaking her hand.Similarly he then in a press conference he felt they were in the same situation with the wire tapping accusations.
Oh Lord! So I really haven’t slept well the past three days because of this assignment, because I was fighting with myself to get this assignment done and submitted. I don’t think I did the memo correctly either, although I am familiar with writing a memo. In fact, I’d say , I enjoy writing. But there are times where, my brain freezes, and I don’t know where to begin. I took the advice I’d give my children–start at the middle or the end , but start somewhere. So I started. But it was tedious. I kept getting up to get something to eat. I had to use the bathroom. I was tired. It wasn’t the best experience I’ve had writing a paper. But it’s done. Now onto the next assignment!
Taking 5 or 6 classes a semester is becoming a pain. The work load isn’t that bad it just the mental burnout from constantly having to be focused throughout the day. Couple that with working and I can definitely use a break right about now. Spring break is coming and I’m supposed to spend a lot of that time studying to get an IT certification. I am thinking I am going to need to spend that time to unwind a little.
Last few days I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to break down this instruction manual. I already have my idea and brainstromed about it. But I’m not confident that it will be enough to meet the requirements of 1500 to 2000 words.
For my topic I am thinking about giving instructions on how to use the program Nmap which is a tool used for analyzing a network. I have seen an instruction manual for Nmap already and it does not give too much information which is good because it means my manual will be completely different from the official manual. I have already used Nmap for a previous tutorial assignment so I already have screenshots to use. A tutorial of Nmap should give me enough information to achieve the word count requirement.
this week has been so far a long and stressful week. i have been writing papers for two of my classes that are due this week and have 3 exams by the end of the week. Every window of opportunity i get, i try to find a way to write or read notes. i am also nervous about next week due to the presentation i have to do in class Wednesday. i am a very shy person and have this fear of talking loud in class.
On the stove top, place (an) egg(s) in a saucepan with enough cold water to cover and place on medium heat.
When water comes to a boil, set a timer for five minutes.
After timer rings, (pot will be hot, so use a pot holder) remove pot from heat and run contents of pot under cold water.
Use back of a tablespoon to crack and peel egg. Rinse off well, to avoid leaving bits of shell behind. Serve lightly salted, (along with a dash of cumin, if you like).
