When we first started this exercise I honestly did not get the point of it at all. When I was writing my answers to the first question, my answers were very inside the box. I was sticking to the purely physical aspects of the quarter. After everyone started saying what they thought of the quarter, my mind started turning. It made me think of things that were not purely physical. I think that the point of this exercise was to force our minds to think more expansively. When I hear ideas from other people my mind begins to think clearer. So I guess that things may be easier for me when they are discussed first as a whole, and then I can come up with my own ideas. I suppose I think kind of backwards.
