Week 12 Post

    This week we looked at what our physical environment can communicate about us. There sure is a lot you can learn about a person based on how they keep their environment. In this post I will be taking a look at my desk and seeing what it says about me.

    

    At first glance you can see its a lot of color. Rainbow desk mat, calendar organized by color, and stuffed animals with blues and reds and yellows. I think this is a clear reflection of how I have a desire to make things cozy with color. Monochrome palettes look unwelcoming and hard to me, so I do the opposite by having a lot of color.

    Another thing to notice is the amount of Pokemon related stuff on my desk. With both the number of items and the range of items (figures, plushies, cards both opened and still sealed), you could correctly guess that I am a big fan of the series. My favorite part is the cards and collecting them, however its a crazy expensive hobby. To motivate myself to do my work I keep my favorite card (which is worth about 210 dollars) slightly above eye level as a reminder of the kinds of cards I can get in the future if I work hard. 

    This is just the start of all the things you can learn about me from how I keep my physical environment. I would love to hear your thoughts if you feel like sharing them.
