I think it is very important to be creative.   In every area of life you should be creative as possible.  If you go through life without being a creative person, I think you miss out on so much that life has to offer.  
 
The last time I have taken time to just play around was when I was at home. I like to play with our dog Sig.  We usually take hikes through the woods.  This is when I’m the most relaxed and able to think clearly. I also look forward to going running on the Olentangy Trail, and just leave classes, work and everything behind me, just for a while.  For me, this is fun, a challenge, something to push myself.  I enjoy getting away from campus, and all the academic jargon.

 
Prior to Friday’s activity, I thought creativity was essential to any organization.  I still think that, but the activities we were involved in helped clarify how creativity does not always happen in a brain storming session, or by a few bright people.  I learned that being creative is almost a way of life.  To always try to see situations from a different viewpoint.  Also, never fall into a group think mindset.  Encourage others around you to make work fun, and foster a creative environment.
I will apply my new knowledge in creativity, and keep plain sheets of paper with me so we can play the shape game when we need to become more creative.  I learned I need to make more time to relax and just have some more fun.  I enjoyed the whole night on Friday. It was a great bonding experience with all the Fellows.
Soooo, I guess now I’m writing a book.  If I were going to write a book and work very hard for many hours, I would want to make sure I sell many copies!  So, I would have one chapter about me, Captain Jack, fighting zombies.  I would have a patch over one eye, and I would have a dog named Kimber.  The lessons that I would try to teach-do whatever it takes to survive.

Yeah, that will be in my book for sure.  I mean-it’s all true!

Ps.
I had cool pictures from zombieland, but I had technical difficulties, and they didn't make it...sad
