Drift Assesment #3

3. Describe three surprises or unexpected situations you encountered on your Drifts and in the days that followed. The surprise could stem from your expectations that conflicted with "on the ground" realities, cultural or social issues of which you were previously unaware, feelings and reactions that you did not expect to have, appearances and soundings of things you did not expect, good or bad outcomes of "on the spot" decisions you had to make, or the discovery of "deeper" realities in the materials you brought home. (Again, skip anything technology-related!)

My first surprise was how much garbage there is around campus. It was atrocious and I was appalled.

My second surprise was during a poor outcome of my drift strategy for the first one. I felt much more limited than I thought I would’ve been.

My third surprise was how well my second drift strategy worked for me. Given my image capturing strategies I came across a lot of things that helped me along the way.
