This was the first time that I’ve visited the Olympic Park since the Olympics. My first thought was “This is it?” I expected more considering how big the Olympics were. It was nice, but as many in class pointed out, those who actually were here during the Olympics appreciated the park for the memories that it brought back.
We were there to look for design flaws or for the design purpose. I’m awful at finding things right away. I’m better if I have time to look at it for awhile and really taking it in. For me, it’s like playing Scatagories. I just can’t think of things real quick. It wasn’t until we were sitting in class discussing the experience that I could see the problems. I wonder if there is a way I can work on that so I’m a little faster.
I wonder if you get to a point where you’re looking for flaws in everything. I know that music teachers sometimes forget to enjoy listening to a piece of music because all they listen for are the errors. Is it unhealthy to find flaws in everything and think that you do it better?
