BLOG SUMMARY # 2

Over the course of the semester, my view on leisure education has changed. When i first thought about "blogging" i wasn't quite into it but as time went on i grew to appreciate my blog. Although i might have not written as much as the others i have enjoyed sharing my experiences with the class and hearing about theirs.
Everyday people complain about not having enough time do do things with one another due to the fact that either they work to much or have to much on their plate. The truth is , i used to think the same way until I took on this class and this "blog". If i try and make time for certain things and plan for them, I become able to follow through with them. I have partaken in several "activities" such as being a makeup model for one of my friends, learning how to make my boyfriends grandmothers famous meat sauce or even something crazy like the trapeze! i have done some pretty exiting leisurely activities that i would have maybe not done if i hadn't taken this class. I also found that when i was around a computer i would use it to post a quick blog about my ventures!
Keeping in mind that many leisure activities cost money there are things that people can do that are priceless. For example, my sister went to culinary school and i wanted to learn how to make these incredible cookies she makes, so one afternoon we made loads of cookies! She leisure educate me. I made sure to take notes not to forget any ingredient!
The following week, i went to my girlfriends house (her parents are out of town) and i showed her how to baked these delicious cookies! i leisure educated her as well as one of our other friends that happened to be there. She wants to bake these cookies for the chrismikah party shes having!
how much fun chrismikah!!! heheh
Either way, all in all, my view on leisure has definitely changed. I find that i am more appreciative of the time i spend with the people i care about such as my dad, mom and sister. I find that my eyes are just bit more wide open and i am on the lookout for fun things we can do together. I believe the next thing planned is as a family we will be going to a Habs game soon!
I enjoyed this class very much and will remember to stay adventurous!
