ReplyDeleteToday we had the majority of our class outside, walking around campus discussing random topics. We walked to the Student Union first in order to get a campus map. Then we walked to several locations around campus. First, we walked to a nice little area with big rocks to sit on that is tucked away beside the parking lot next to the student union building. We talked about Christian theology and different views of it. Second we walked to a series of benches near the agriculture center and talked about our project and certain aspects of it. Lastly we walked to the music building and listened in on the musicians as we talked about how music influences people's lives.
