Another camera-less task from Adam.

That's right, my camera is still being repaired so I've discovered another task to do sans-camera.

I wanted to chose three days which would offer some kind of variety of the task so I chose the 19th, 20th and 21st of March 2008. It is the end of college for easter and I have a different thing to do on each day. It is much more interesting than just tracking me for 3 days as a I bum around at home and at college. I recorded all my results in my trusty Moleskine notebook creating a small table for each day and then noting my location on the hour, if I couldnt write it just then Id note it and then write it down later. I had a small vibrating alarm go off on my phone every hour when I went out to make sure I remembered.

When I got home on the 21st I compiled all my results into an Excel spreadsheet and then pondered on how to display them. I used a very handy website to find the longitude and latitude and then displayed that on a radar graph to mimic a clock and show where I had been. I then overlaid the longitudal and latitudal graphs onto one-another. You may notice that the graphs are in different scales due to the distances travelled. The scales can be estimated by the difference between the lat and long lines when at home. The larger the distance the larger the scale.

Longitude is purple
Latitude is blue

Wednesday 19th March
College

Just a typical day at college obviously. Law, Geography and Politics all in different bits and then I have to walk across college for debating. As you can see the college and my house are on very similar latitudes hence the massive difference when I go to debating.

Thursday 20th March
Parliament Trip

Now this day was quite interesting. Today was the day that my politics class went to Parliament for a tour and to watch a debate. It was fascinating. We travelled by train to London and then got the tube to Parliament. We had a talk in Portcullis House and then went to watch debates in the Lords and Commons. We then returned home about 5pm and got back at 8:15pm.

Friday 21st March
Easter Holidays



Well today was the first day of the easter holidays and it was also Good Friday. Me and some friends decided to go and see Vantage Point at the cinema this morning which was suprisingly good. We then went shopping in town and then I got back home and added the data from today and compiled it and submitted this task. Now I have to go to Tesco.

A note on the photos.
They are only there so that the praxis doesn't look odd because you have the full-size images in the text followed by full-size ones below so I wanted to have them as thumbnails. They are from an old trip to Westminster but yeah they kind of fit in. Sorry for my lack of camera. Should be sorted in about a week or two. Tom's camera will be used for my Penny Push photos.
