Reflection

I enjoyed this activity! This described my walk from Criser Hall to the Reitz Union today while it was drizzling outside. One thing I noticed was that it was hard to isolate the visual from the other senses. I wanted to attribute most of what I saw to another sense such as the puddles to the sound of splashes. I enjoyed taking in the things going on around me instead of rushing somewhere without looking up beyond my cell phone. It is so easy to walk around on campus without noticing the unique attributes that your surroundings have. I especially enjoyed the quote that went along with this activity. Your surroundings play a lot into how you act and how you feel. If it is gloomy outside, it is very easy to feel gloomy as well.
