About Creeping

     Creeping.  One of the most interesting assignments that I have ever been given.  Literally told to creep on someone as a school assignment. Honestly I was a little surprised to hear that we would be paired up and made to research each other.  I did enjoy the assignment, it made me feel like some sort of detective, trying to find any blemish in the past of Alaina Doyle.  Unfortunately I could not.  I found cross country race times, scholarship information, date of birth, home address, and some other mostly random stuff.  The ways in which I did the sleuthing surprised even me.  Looking at Google maps to see what kind of house she lived in and other creative ways.  I am glad we did this assignment because it has led me to change my privacy settings on my Facebook and attempt to remove information from the internet.  I have now started to more closely read  information in agreements to make sure that I am not giving away any information about myself.  This has actually led to me choosing not to participate in online surveys.  Overall I feel that this was a very enlightening assignment and extremely beneficial.
