The Summer Of

BOWIWITI

IntroductionAs the brief states, we all are constantly evolving. All of our behaviour and actions are a massive influence on our future behaviour and the decisions we make are predetermined by the behaviour we display. My final outcome looks at the repetitive nature and very mundane patterns within my summer and how some of the decisions I have made and the actions I have taken have affected my summer in various ways. I have subsidised my summer into four key areas which I think sum up the majority of my summer activity. These areas are named ‘Wired’ ‘Tired’ ‘Bored’ and ‘Wired Up’. I have made this book that explains each of these concepts and explains how they interlink to make up the bulk of my summer, these explanations are paired with statistics that back up and reinforce my explanations.

I originally begun watch-ing ‘Two and a Half Men’ purely out of boredom as something to pass the time. I found that I ac-tually quite enjoyed the humour, as I find myself to be quite often sarcas-tic, ironic and immature.

This is the type of hu-mour that is consistent throughout the series and that is portrayed by the characters. I will con-tinue to catch up watch-ing this programme so I guess a few more hours of boredom will be cured.

- My phrase of choice that refers to me being ‘wired up’ i.e inseperable from my new earphones that I aquired this summer. The main reason being a cure for the bordem of public transport I would be spending a lot of time on because of my new job located in Manchester Town Centre. Read on to see how they have been a massive influence on my summer.

Head-Direct RE0 are the ‘in-ear earphones” I decided to buy this summer based on many different

factors including price, reviews and the type of music I would be listening to. In hindsight having aquired a job in the town

centre I knew it would be a good idea to invest in a decent pair that would be comfortable for prolonged periods of time

on public transport and for general use when not in work.
