A change of reflection

The last time we did phenology as a class was Friday, March 22. It was by far the best Phenology experience yet, the sun was out creating a summer-like atmosphere but with a small cool breeze creating the feeling of spring. This visit into the world of nature wasn't the best just because the weather, it was also because of the amount of time we had. I think using a normal class period was much more effective then doing Phenology in a shorter amount of time. I did all the normal requirements for this project while out in nature, I did the sound tapestry right off the bat and was glad I did after a noisy gym class strolled by. My problem was the fact that after completing the sound tapestry I was left in a mostly quiet piece of nature. That's great every once in a while but after spending the whole period out there I felt something lacking. So next time we go into the nature I'm going to bring along my iPod . You are probably going what are you crazy?! Nope I'm not crazy and my reasons for my madness lie in the fact that I I can fell more emotionally if I am aided with music. Music is an emotional tool, it shapes how we perceive things so next time I'm going to just go for it and see what happens. I theorize that my mind will be more focused and my thoughts will be more...in depth. Who knows maybe I'm completely losing my mind and should just stop this post now but I feel that it could make things more interesting so who knows? I hope you understand where I'm coming from if not then call me crazy!
