For my data project I have decided to track how many times I use swear words in a day, and my emotions before, during, and after my daily workouts. I have been tracking both categories by jotting down notes on my phone. Tracking the swear word usage was difficult because I definitely use bad words more than I should. I found myself very busy throughout the day trying to keep track of what I was saying. It was also tough to not stop myself from using bad words because I knew I was tracking them, in order to not skew my results. I found it very simple to track my feelings about my workouts. I usually am very in tune with what my body is feeling before, during, and after I go to the gym. I even noticed a pretty cool trend. No matter what I was feeling before my workout, I always had a positive attitude when leaving the gym. I did expect this result because I find the gym a way for me to escape any stressors I am facing. It is my opportunity to block everything out and focus on bettering my mind and body.
I have some visuals in my head to display my data in a way that I think would look super cool. I am excited to bring these visuals to life in a creative way. I have never done this type of project before, but so far I am enjoying it. I am excited and curious to see what I come up with, and how my final project turns out!
