Activity: Visit the ND Museum of Art -Winged Shadows Life Among Birds Exhibit
Date: 1/27/12
The challenge that I chose to do today was to go to the Art Museum on the University of North Dakota’s campus to visit the Winged Shadows Life Among the Birds Exhibit. When I first got to the museum, I really didn’t know what to expect. The painting were really fun to look at. Some of the pictures I had to spend extra time looking at since they would have so much detail and many different aspects to the paintings. There were several pictures that a giant bird with a fisherman in its mouth. I thought those were very interesting to see, maybe birds are better fisherman than humans are. Another aspect of the exhibit that I found interesting was the fish nets filled with a bunch of electronics, it made me think of how human technology is destroying our natural environment. I really enjoyed going to the museum.

Activity: Attend Sunrise Yoga
When: January 19, 2012
The activity was to attend the Sunrise Yoga at the Wellness Center. I have attended the Sunrise Yoga a few times before. It is a great way to wake up in the morning. It makes me feel much more relaxed throughout the day. For one hour each morning, I can forget about anything else in my life and clear my mind. It also helps me reduce stress from my hectic life. Some of the exercises can be a little difficult, however I like how you can always modify the stretches.
