Night Visit

I visited the Beach again this weekend. I only go to the beach at night and haven't been there during the day for a couple months now. If I could and had time to I may go during the day once with one of my friends but I doubt that would do my grades any good. I don't remember if I mentioned the light pollution that the city gives off but it is enormous but for our beaches I don't think it is really a problem. I really would like to see different light bulbs used that aren't as bright though. It really has gotten to a disgusting point at which it is more like we are trying to simulate daytime instead of light up the night in cities.

Just being outside

I haven't gotten out that much compared to some of the other weeks, but last Sunday I was feeling especially terrible. I was in the labs for hours upon hours and I had nothing else to do other than work. When I was on my way back after a meeting with my Focus club I stopped for about 15 to 20 minutes just observing the trees blowing in the spring breeze. I assumed it was spring although truly I never actually kept track of those types of things. The way these root like things came down from the trees was truly enticing. I had never really took time to observe what was truly going on with the environment.The leaves didn't waver very much but the long beards were very interesting.

A park trip

The class had an overly interesting trip to the park the other day. Ms. hall was very observant and taught us all about things that was happening that I and most of my classmates wouldn't have known otherwise. Much of what she said was a blur but the part that I remember the best was the part where she explained the plants being on the roofs of houses. I don't really see why a shade can't be put over the top to shield the plants from the sun but I wasn't thinking of that at the time. The whole thing made me very interested in that type of environment where plants are on top of every building in residential areas. I would love if you could walk through small gardens on your roof although it does sound a little weird now that I think about it. I have never been to that are around the docks in Sarasota. The scenery is very nice and it smells a whole lot better than I thought it would. I wish I had a good camera that could take pictures at night so that my photos would come out clearer, but I guess I just... I just...

I just want everything to go according to plan. I should be visiting this new place another time. So many great places I don't have time for.
