My favorite electrolyte is sodium. In my opinion, it is the easiest to remember as it is frequently thought of when thinking about diet. Out of all the other electrolytes, changes in sodium is most likely to occur as people generally have a tendency to eat too much of it, thus it is highly considered when choosing foods that we eat. Also, the indications of sodium are easy to remember to as you think back to a time when you’ve eaten too much sodium and have experienced dehydration, thirst, increase in temperature and heart rate. Since I can incorporate and think of situations that would affect myself currently (on the milder side), makes sodium my favorite electrolyte.

My least favorite electrolyte is chloride. This is due to if chloride levels are low, then also sodium or potassium levels would be low which is just more that you must deal with. Also, chloride deals quite a bit with arterial blood gases, for example, in hyperchloremia, the signs and symptoms are similar to that of metabolic acidosis which adds a much more confusing aspect. With all of these considerations and my unfamiliarity of this electrolyte, makes it my least favorite electrolyte.

Meetings

Today we attended meetings with three of our clients. Our first meeting was with the assistant principal at driffill elementary school in Oxnard. This was our second meeting with the principal, and this time we went to the school to get more of a feel for the school and what they represent. We got a tour of the campus where we got to ask questions to some of the staff and the students. We also presented some of the ideas and inspiration we had for their designs. We also got a clear idea of what assets they would like for us to create, which includes: redesigned sports t-shirts, spirit t-shirts, redesign of school brochure, creation of self-adhesive vinyl sticker designs to place around the campus. We then had a second meeting with the president of the CI love your melon club. We talked about the projects they had for us, which are: creating a promotional poster, visuals for social media posts, and event posters. Our last meeting was with the president of the Line Lackeys Slacking Club, and we talked about a logo redesign, informational poster and event posters. We looked at some of the ideas he had and the direction he wants to take the logo. We got a lot of helpful information from today’s meetings and our next step is to create and provide sketched out ideas for the client’s approval.
