Seeing and Listening

Seeing

For this part of the assignment i decided to watch a group play billiards at the rec center while i worked. The first thing that i noticed was in between each hit they would have a quick conversation. Also they all had a different way of hitting the ball. One of the guys would practice a couple 'hits' before he actually hit, the other guy would always use the blue chalk before every hit, and the last guy would stand there and look at the table for ever to decided what he was going to do. Lastly i noticed that only one of the guys really had any reaction to rather he missed it or not. Whereas the other two guys didn't seemed bothered rather the made it or not.

Listening

For this part of the assignment i decided to listening outside on my aunts patio while i was reading. It is amazing how many different sounds i actually heard when i took the time to stop and just listen. I could hear the radio from inside the house and my aunt vacuuming the floor. Also i could hear children at the park playing and their skateboards rolling down the sidewalk. You could also hear cars on the road and dogs barking. And lastly i heard birds also. So there was a lot of different things that i heard while sitting outside, when i actually took the time to just listen.
