I don't have much time to relax due to the busy nature of my life. However I did have a half hour this week in complete reflection.
I chose to hang out outside on Monday and Tuesday of this week and the weather was fantastic!
I was sitting against a tree contemplating what to write about when I had an epiphany. This blog is not all about writing about sciencey stuff and connecting lecture with real life, it's about getting outside.
Most of my days consist of traveling from one building to another so I don't get to appreciate things like birds chirping, or the rustling of dead leaves in the breeze. However for a few minutes this week I afforded myself the opportunity to relax, forget about work, or research papers and actually relax.
I apologize for not taking any snapshots this week, but this half hour outside was all about me.
Nice selfish blog Rich. I expected more out of you. jeezzzz I guess I got to beef this blog up with spitting out some bio facts now-

Congrats on relaxing for a few minutes!! I know how you feel. My time is usually spent the same way...class, school and work! It is nice to just sit outside for a few minutes and breath.
