On my way to Art Education 2520 I walk from my last class that is on Neil and in between 11^th and 10^th street. On this day it was very rainy out. I started by opening my umbrella as I head toward 11^th street. I know its 11^th street because I can here the crosswalk telling me to walk, which makes me look up and see the 11^th street sign. As I walk I can feel, hear, and see raindrops hit my umbrella and dripping on to my shoes. I smell old food as I look up I see dumpsters. After seeing the dumpsters these yellow polls catch my eye. I now know I’m half way to class.  As I hear the cross walk telling me to stop my mind thinks back the first cross walk and I remember the red telephone booth I space every day and the poster inside of it that makes my laugh. Before I know it my head is up and looking for the number 24. Once I see 24 above a gate, I know I am close to the stadium door I use. I see the sign for art education classes on the glass door. Reaching to open the door I see that my arm has raindrops all over it. I can’t feel the raindrops because my jacket is hydrophobic and repels water.

       This map is different from the map you would find on MapQuest or Google maps because I use my five senses to direct me where to go.  Because I am hold an umbrella it cuts of my vision for street signs and also my peripheral vision. The reason why I see the street sign is because I hear the crosswalk talking. The reason I see the dumpsters is because the way it smells. I know what door to use when I see the number 24 (gate 24 to the stadium). Then there is the sign on the door reminding me that I am headed in the right direction. Also as I hold my umbrella I see my shoes and jacket getting more wet that tells me that I have been walking for a long time and am getting close. Lastly I have a taste in my mouth that the rain gives off. It reminds me of spring and my mouth isn’t dry like the cold snow days before. This is how I use my five senses to get to class.
