New Ideas for Project 1/ Weekend activities

After reading over the first draft of our proposal we figured out some new things that we may need to revise or some more things that we could do for this project. A minor component was making our proposal a little stronger in some areas, but we ran into a more important problem. After talking with Dr. Morris we realized that we do not have any evidence. Without evidence to show how shockingly disgusting the bathrooms are all we have is our word against theirs. The people we are trying to persuade are not going to think too much of this issue if they do not realize how bad the situation is.

Our solution to this problem is to take pictures of the bathrooms over the weekend. The weekend is when the bathrooms are at their worst. They not only have residue of the things that are dealt with during the week, they also have throw up in some cases, backed- up toilets, and overflowing trash everywhere. Our group believes that if we have evidence of things such as this action will most certainly have to be taken. 

Along with the picture evidence of the bathrooms we still want to get the other points across of how gross it is to deal with issues in the bathroom such as this. Waking up on a Saturday or Sunday morning and having to either smell the trash or in some cases different substances is not fun. Also dealing with clogged or un-flushed toilets is another issue. In addition to that the showers get very unsanitary to say the least over the weekend. Our group still wants to keep these issues fresh and in the minds of the people we need to persuade.

Also on the weekends, as stated before, noise is a huge issue. People running up and down the hallways, jumping, yelling, screaming are all normal on the weekend, especially in the night hours. As much as this is expected during this time of the week we still feel that at least something or some effort should still be done. 

In conclusion, these issues are definitely prominent during the week, but I feel that on the weekends these issues are taken to the next level and get more extreme. I'm very excited and ready to start making our surveys and signs and getting our ideas out there!
