]]> Mock StorySince my last blog post, I have begun collecting content and various images of dining hall food.  I have asked friends to send me the foods that they are eating on campus, since my dining hall budget is limited.  I have begun collecting the images on a Google Drive folder and am outlining my story using a Google Doc.

I am also continuing my quest for quality sources.  So far the following have been gathered:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Very_Hungry_Caterpillar

2. http://www.businessinsider.com/virginia-tech-best-campus-dining-2014-10

3. http://www.princetonreview.com/schoollist.aspx?type=r&id=683#/

4. https://secure.hosting.vt.edu/www.hokiebucketlist.alumni.vt.edu/home.php

I created an Instagram account for @Very_Hungry_Catepillar and started following @VTAdmissions (VT Undergraduate Admissions), @VTPamplin (VT Pamplin), and @VirginiaTech.

On Twitter, I started following @HokieDining (VT Dining Services), @HungryHokie (Hungry Hokie), @FollowMeToVT (VT Admissions), and @VTPamplin (VT Pamplin).

]]> Sorry I was late to class today, my Tax Test ran over and my class is a bit of a hike across campus.

Today in class we discussed some important terms and went over some helpful information for the final project. I have added the terms source and asset to my list of terms.  Last class I picked a few sources to guide my thoughts.  I have also gathered a few assets.

We were advised to find a place to store our thoughts and collect our sources and assets.  After discussing the importance of copyrights, permission, and fair use terms, I decided to compile my findings in a google document.

I am still considering a variety of platforms to share my story on an have yet to discuss my project with Traci.  As it stands, I would like to do some form of time line.  I am concerned with the complexity of my story.  Since I am elaborating on a very simple story, I am concerned with the extensive originality and amount of the story I am creating if I continue to pursue this story.
