Walking blind-folded was very overwhelming at first. It was very nerve-racking to not be able to see my surroundings; however, after a few minutes I grew as accustomed as one could be to walking blind-folded. I became more aware of my surroundings and I was better able to attune my ears to follow the sounds. I found it amusing running into people and when you could tell that everyone around you had also turned in order to go towards the sound. The exercise really helped me to focus on the present and be aware of my surroundings. It was fun to sit back and watch as my partner went through the same process.
The state of mind while blind-folded differed from my normal day to day walking in that I was more attuned to my environment. I had to focus on where I was walking and on the pace which I was walking at. Normally, I walk quickly around campus and do not focus too much on my environment. The state of mind really enhanced my senses and provided a whole new perspective on a classroom that I sit in once a week.
