Art351 Proj3 Reflective Essay

One of the most memorable experiences I have had was back when I was a biology major in Humboldt State University. My oceanography/biology class went out on a research project on one of the university's research boats. As we went out, the weather became increasingly bad causing extremely large waves to start coming in our direction.

It was a really exciting experience being out on the boat in the ocean and it was also fairly scary with the bad weather. To make it even worse, the research boat had an open back for the equipment being used. So if you did not know what you were doing, you could easily fall off the back of the boat after a big wave hit or the wind pushed you. The entire experience was a combination of different sensations from the atmosphere of the ocean to the fearing for your life every time a huge wave rocked the boat in random direction.

Another memorable experience is from playing the game F.E.A.R. The game is extremely well made and really immerses you in the story. The game gives you a real sense of suspense and can get pretty scary at times. It really played with your mind. The suspense and scary moments really stuck with me even after playing the game.
