in class exercise

First thing I did was try to find sun to sit in outside. I sat on this little brick wall and just listened to everything around me and all my weird thoughts. Every time there was a breeze thats all that I could think about. I thought about the leafs on the floor around my feet and how I hoped there weren't any ants in the leafs or on the brick wall. There wasn't that much foot traffic but there was a lot of opening and closing of doors all around the courtyard. I also heard a lot of construction work in the background, probably from across 13th street. as I was sitting in the sun I realized that as the sun was going down that I would't have been in the sun for much longer. It was slowly falling behind the buildings that surrounded me. Mostly when I sit I just think about all the things I need to do and all the things I want to do. I did think of a good idea for and installation piece that I have to do for my class, a human ant farm. Could be really interesting.

Walking around I went out to the soccer field and thought about how I had never been there and then I saw a restricted area and thought about the places I'm not supposed to be. There is some type of sad fear about not being able to go to all the places I would like to go. There is so much to see in the world and I will probably never get to see and go to all the places that I would like to, or all the places that I should go. That made me start to think about all the people in the world and how there are so many people a lives that I will never get to know about. Its weird to think that there are other people out there that I cross on the streets and will never know their life story and they will never know mine. Then I saw a bench that had a sticker on it that said, 'I'm sad, too'. That person who put that sticker on
