Naturally, since that leads to me putting things off till the last minute, it means that I frequently will end up just making stuff up to get the grades. I am aware it&#8217;s a habit that is important for me to break, not only for this class, but for any other, and I do my absolute best to avoid that situation, but the dark side of my moon is hard to keep hidden sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">May 29th: Unparalleled Misalignments For Today\u2019s Diurnal Concoction #tdc4885<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Unparalleled Misalignments are \u201cpairs of non-synonymous phrases where the words in one phrase are each synonyms of the words in the other.&#8221; Create one and then use it in authoritative message.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fool&#8217;s Gold \/\/ Con&#8217;s Coin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Avoid the Con&#8217;s Coin, lest it make you believe in value that isn&#8217;t there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I wanted to play off of the phrase &#8220;Fool&#8217;s Gold&#8221;, which is actually iron sulfide but looks incredibly similar to gold. As such, I turned the idea of the fool from the person being deceived to the one doing the deceiving, or if it&#8217;s simpler, the action of a Con being that of trickery and deceit. Then I took the meaning of gold from being the metal to being the currency, and turned it into a Coin. Therefore, the Con&#8217;s Coin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">June 1st: Dinosaur Day #tdc4888<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>June 1st is Dinosaur Day! If you were a DS106 dinosaur, what would you look like?

I commonly relate to birds, both because of a nickname and because I love their sense of freedom, and this is basically the original bird. Plus, I&#8217;m not exactly the strongest or largest, but I&#8217;d say I&#8217;m a pretty nimble and quick individual, just like this dino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the second week of Daily Creates, I completed the objectives from May 26th, May 29th, and June 1st.
