I would have to say that Dr. V's class has opened my mind to new ways of thinking about the environment and how I focus my contributions to benefit where I live. The finals two weeks of class were more about reflecting on what we have learned.
Week 15
This week started of with Sue Johnson coming in and speaking to us about junk. But talking about ways that junk can be reused and make beautiful, hence her book she put out Junk Beautiful. Sue seems to have the natural touch when it comes to re-purposing junk. I was amazed at home some of the junk she used in her book looks like it could have been bought from an antique store. The next day of class was probably the most relaxing of all. We got to go outside, sit in the sun, and discuss what we learned from environmental health.
Week 16
Definitely one of the easiest weeks of the whole semester for this class. We didn't meet this week because of it being finals week but we still had assignments to do. The eye opener assignment was fun to do, especially to play the games everyone posted on there blog.
I wasn't sure how well using this blog thing would work when Dr. V described it at the beginning of the semester but I feel it was a good idea. I allows you to open your mind and sort of describe things in different ways that you wouldn't do the same when putting pen to paper. Thanks to Dr. V for getting me more in touch with our environment so that I can do my part to improve our planet.
A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience.
