absolutely nothing
The "nothing" assignment was something i really enjoyed. To be in a public place, and truly doing nothing really makes you stop and see everything around you. A lot of people had said that when doing it people were checking up on them. Some people wouldn't allow them to do "nothing". Although, in my case, I was outside the Union Station so not many people stopped to check if i was O.K. Everyone down town seems to always be in a rush: the way people drive, the hurried walk across the street. When I took a moment to stop and take things in, I was really able to enjoy the city. I was able to set apart all the different sounds of the city. I was also able to do a lot of people watching, which is something I already enjoy to do. You notice a lot more of what's around you once you sit back and actually let yourself notice.

don't forget to also blog about Tuesdays with morrie.
I agree, it was really cool to be more aware of others and what they're doing while still doing "nothing" yourself. I thought it was actually hard because it was so easy to fall into watching the other people (I was in a movie theater) instead of just standing there. But once I did it, it was very relaxing and meditative to just slow down and stop for once.
