“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

We were talking about contemplating the other day in class. I sat thinking where is do most of my thinking. I've found that my destressor is driving my car. I love love love to drive! I will drive it in the country where everything seems so peaceful. Right now is my favorite time to drive with my windows rolled down and look at how alive everything is becoming. With spring in full swing everything is so green. When I'm bored or upset or just need to think about things. I just drive to clear my head. The openess and no direction allows for a certain freedom from life. With finals coming up I will most likely being taking a few more drives than normal to destress and focus.
