People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

 I used to hangout with people every day. I wouldn't give my time any rest because I just wanted to keep try and doing things. Over time I felt like events others would see as really fun was just something I felt was okay. Not that it was bad but just that I had been stimulated for so long so things desensitized. I started trying to relax some and not spend all my time with people. This helped me to value moments with friends more. It helped me to have fun. It taught me that sometimes less fun is more fun.

Today in class we read chapters 2-3. We also completed this paper on it.

Today I learned that a 2006 jeep cant go over 75 miles an hour.

Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

When I was younger and used to hiking in Stone Mountain a lot, I felt super close to nature. I would go with a lot of friends and my whole family. Sometimes we would hike at sunrise, and sometimes we would even do sunsets. I also feel close to nature at the lake. Many times I would take a boat out and just sit near the water and look at the birds flying. It made me feel so peaceful and calm. I love the water. It is my faviorate fact about nature. It changes my perspective because it makes me calm down and appreciate things. Today in class, we had this big assignment. We worked on it all class. Today I learned some Mandarin.

Of today’s 15 vocabulary words, which three do you think you will use the most in your speaking and writing this semester? Explain why each word feels useful or powerful to you.

 I will use aesthetic a good amount because ive already used it multiple times in the past. Im comfortable with that word. I typically call things please and stuff a lot. But since now I really know the definition I feel it will expand my vocabulary. If I start using that word more then people will think I am smarter. I will also use affinity because I feel like I say I love things a lot. Thats not the exact definition of it but it gets my point across. It also makes it seem like i know what I am talking about. I think at last I will use animosity a lot because people wont understand it. I could tell someone I truly dont like that I have a feeling of animosity towards them and they will be clueless. Today in class we worked on these 15 vocabulary words. We also put them to use by choosing which one fits the sentence the best. Today I learned how to calculate radians into degrees.
