When I first heard about this assignment I really had no idea who I was going to write to.  I only live about an hour away and talk to most of my family on a daily basis through texts, so I wasn’t really sure who I wanted to write.  I ended up writing to my boyfriend who I don’t get to see or talk to as often as everyone else.  It was a lot easier than I initially thought it was going to be.  I thought it was going to be a really awkward letter full of me just rambling on about random stuff that has happened during these past few weeks, but it turned out a lot better, and easier than I thought.

After writing the letter, I found myself somewhat frustrated; that’s the best way I can describe it, but I wasn’t upset.  I  was just so excited for my boyfriend to read the letter, but I knew I was going to have to wait about a week for him to even get it. I didn’t want to ruin the surprise of me writing the letter either, but I felt so weird writing all this stuff down to tell him and then having to wait more than two minutes for him to read it and respond, but I still enjoyed it.

Hi!  My name is Elaina Gruver, and I’m from Dacula, Georgia (only about 45 minutes from Athens).  I’m living in O House, and right now I’m a biology major, but I plan to change it to exercise and sport science or athletic training  pretty soon, with hopes to eventually be a physical therapist or chiropractor.

Tetrad: Facebook

Enhances:  Allows people to keep in touch with friends and family who they may not see regularly or who live far away.  People can share exciting moments in their lives with the people who they chose, and many businesses have Facebook pages in order to raise awareness of their business.

Retrieves:  Facebook gives people the ability to keep up with their friends’ lives and to know what major events are happening with the people that they care about, even if those people live on the other side of the country.

Reverses into:  Some people tend to post too much about what is happening in their lives, or they post things that no one really cares about or wants to know.  (No one really cares that you’re going to walmart)

Obsolesces:  People don’t feel the need to talk to people in person anymore, or to even call someone. They can get all the information they need by looking at someone’s Facebook page.
