My Strategy
After thinking about the questions at hand, I decided to cover a similar area as the last drift, but exploring inland a bit more. Hopefully I can find some parks, some hiding places, so nooks that were previously un-explored, and some run down structures. Much like the last two drifts, I will let my eyes guide me in the direction I wish to take, not so much a set course, but whatever peeks my interest along a walk through the city.
Instead of taking random footage of unique places, I want to make sure that some of the pieces I capture resemble the life through the eyes of a young child; eager to explore and full of wonder at the most mundane of objects. I will maintain my normal strategy of going to new areas I have not previously been, drift wise or in general. Hopefully this will leave me feeling more excited about objects and places that others see in their every day lives.
For the sound portion of the project, I want to gather sounds of nature, what you might hear if you were the only person left in the world. Obviously with a less morbid motive, I want to capture the innocence of the daytime as well as the horrors of loneliness. I will let my ears guide the way.

Things to Consider (Ten Questions)
1) Where would there be interesting places to get inside?
2) Where would be good hiding spots for hide and seek?
3) Where are there places that have rarely been explored?
4) Are there any parks that are less visited?
5) Are there any parks that are overly trafficked?
6) Are there any spots with great views of the outside world?
7) Are there any private places left in public?
8) How can I experience what an eight year old would in a crowded environment?
9) Can I find a place to hide from the city life?
10) Are there any places that I can visit that make me feel younger than I am?

A Second Chance (Assessment 4)
My favorite experience in this class was definitely my trip to the beach. I hadn’t been having the best school year, scholarly or personally, so the free time to sit and reflect was exactly what I needed. I wont get in to my personal details, but I was able to come out of the whole drift with a different lease on life, and a new attitude to the way I approach things. I think if everything now goes according to plan in my life, I would easily be able to look back and recognize this day as the day that everything turned around. For that I am eternally appreciative that the stars aligned perfectly for me to have a free Thursday to do the drift, the weather to be nice on that specific day, and the thought to pop in to my head to walk on the path I chose.
