The shower has influenced my life the most this week because in class we had talked about how families would take one bath a year in Europe a long time ago and I started to think about how terrible that would be. The bath water would probably be cold and would defiantly be dirty by the time the last person got to bathe, I would not feel clean. Normally people take showers every day or every other day I assume, not once a year. Life back in the day must have been very smelly and disease was probably more of an issue then than now since we now use soap and water on a daily basis. Showers are really convenient because you can just jump in and get clean and jump out. The water comes through the shower head or faucet hot or cold depending on your choice and that is certainly a luxury because who would want to take a cold shower every morning or a cold bath.

In our furniture project, as a group, the team thought of household items that were wanted in the home. After that, objects that filled the requirements of multiple, practical functions, reducing space, easy and safe to use, and lastly, simple, were selected. After each individual found a piece of furniture (s)he wanted to create, the group members each designed a model. Shortly after, they prototyped their designs on their own. Next, each member presented his/her prototype to the rest of the group. Following the delivery of what the team made, they came to a conclusion of which item would best fit for the group to enhance.

The bathroom Door, which didn’t look like it could have so much bacteria. The gram staining was different than the other bacteria’s found because several chemicals and steps are used.

“Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury,” Coco Chanel (n.d.) once said. Nothing describes this quote quite like the soothing hot tub. The steaming water, the bubbling frame, or perhaps just the sheer cost in installation give the hot tub such a luxurious connotation. In the movies, bliss is often pictured as some bare-chested man, wearing gold chains galore, arms around two bikinied blondes, that is lounging in a massive hot tub. Even on a less grand scale, it is always quite a mark of rank for a middle-class household to have possession of such a comfort as a Jacuzzi. When mentioned, one can just feel a warm massage from little jets spurting out water all around your body. The bubbling water warms one's body and soul with
One day I was going to the beach with one of my friends. We drove to his beach house so we could hang out and go the beach. The beach house was in a very respectable neighborhood. We then got out of the car and grabbed our surfboards from trunk and headed to the beach. When we got to to the beach there were immensely large waves. As soon as I saw how big the waves were I absolutely had to get in the water and ride them. I then ran in the water with my friend as we floated buoyantly to catch the next wave. Then a big wave came and we got on our boards. We were both surfing the wave until my friends slipped off from his board because there was residue from the wave on it. I was too busy focusing on riding the wave to notice that he slipped.

While I was staffing the front desk at around 2 in the afternoon, a male patron approached me and asked if I could call the police because he saw people “shooting heroin male” in the male bathroom and added that he often sees “rampant drug use in the bathroom”. Knowing officer Jillian was on lunch break, I pressed the duress button and headed towards the male bathroom to inspect what the patron has reported. As I was heading to the lower level, officer Julian responding to duress alarm emerged from the staff area and I informed him about what the male patron has reported to me.
