BDWS #1 Aug. 29

This is my first Brief Daily Writing Session. I wrote a response paper for my Film Theory class last night, but I had to do some tweaking and ended up writing an extra page this morning. When I did this, I decided to get the mindfulness portion out of the way. I tried very hard to isolate myself and leave my thoughts to themselves (if that makes any sense). I didn't have any music on, or a television. No destractions. I was simply writing about an essay on the tenants of Apparatus Theory as conceived by Walter Benjamin and a guy named Baudry. This whole process probably took a total of 30 minutes and I actually feel I retained more and was able to participate in class discussion a little more easily.
