Scavenger Hunt
For my Fundamentals of Journalism class my assignment was to go out and find a thick red rubber band, even though this is basically impossible since this is 2016. Nevertheless, I ventured out of the classroom in search of this thick red rubber band. I asked Ross where the heck I would find such a rare object and he informed me that I should head to the Olsen building to the mailroom, so there I went.
I stepped out of Lewis Hall, where my class is located, and was immediately greeted with a steady, icy breeze. Once I finally made it partly across campus to Olsen I stopped at the voting table to check and see if they had a rubber band. I approached one of the workers there and quickly explained my assignment but I came up short.
I then went downstairs towards the mailroom in search of my assigned object. Once I got to the little window I interrupted the two individuals working there and explained that for a class that I was assigned to get a thick red rubber band. The girl that helped me, Michelle Ruby, responded with, “Is this like for a scavenger hunt or something?” and I told her yes and that I would prefer if the rubber band was red. Then she fished out this big ball of rubber bands out of the drawer and told me she had found a red one but then proceeded to give me a bland rubber band instead. I decided to head back and convinced myself that I had technically done the assignment, even though I will probably be docked because I couldn’t find a red one.
