Reflection: The first few bugs were relatively easy to come up with, and even the rest of the list didn't take too long. What took me longer was coming up the "why's" and wording them right (which I might not have done correctly anyway). It did make me think harder on the little problems and I'm hoping I'm not being to repetitive. All in all, it was a fun assignment and in thinking of the "why's" it made me think of some ways in how to fix some of the situations.
