The past week I kept a journal, recording how I felt at different times and different places throughout the day. This is the first time that I have written down and paid attention to how my energy level changed during the course of the day. I occasionally would think about how much energy I had or how drained I felt at different times in my life, but I never took the time to write it down and observe, so this was a new experience for me. I started my geography of energy journal on Sunday October 4th and ended on Sunday October 11th.

My energy level quickly depleted by Saturday and I was feeling tired again. I think this partially had to do with the busy week and not being able to rest and reenergize myself before another long weekend. Sunday I visited another friends farm outside of Nashville which was very relaxing and exactly what I needed after a long week and weekend. The scenery was beautiful and being able to sit down and take it all in was a great end to my fall break and a great way to bring my energy level back up to where it needed to be to start the next
