tuesday's thoughts

i believe that if it ever came to, i'd be categorized as a fast walker.
i like being on time. i hate having others wait for me. something is always in the need of 'being done' - even if it's just so i can maximize my nap time/efficiency.
and so i tend to rush a lot.

today i was making the short trek home after handing in an assignment and i suddenly felt the need to slow down. i became aware of how quick my pace was, how fast my feet were moving.

hmm and so i slowed down. and maybe it's psychological but right away i felt as though my lung capacity increased from not having to work as rapidly, my breaths were fuller.

hmm and those shrubs outside dupuis hall? i actually took note of their twig physiology. how they have opposite leaf buds and a single, semi sharp bud at the tip. now how many times a day do i walk by dupuis hall... hundreds of times later, i finally looked up and noticed what was there all along.

maybe it's just the after-effects of going on a 'twig-identification field trip' yesterday with the biology crew... i'm still not at the point where i'd take my tree-ID key with me, no matter how slow i decide to walk from now on. perhaps a new goal? to walk at a pace leisurely enough for me to identify all the vegetation from my house to my destination.

(:

what a good goal, feef. i will try to imitate. i hate having to rush around the house & out of the house, trying to multi-task, yet that's what i find myself doing all the time. my goal will be to prepare in advance.
