Appreciating the finer things

In the middle of a lecture during class today, Sandy Rosenbush stopped when she saw something outside the window of Lee Hills Hall here at the University of Missouri.

Leon Carter also stopped speaking to take a look out the window. It turned out to be a rabbit outside that the two were looking at.

Carter's explanation was pretty simple when he told us why he had to stop and look. He said sometimes you just have to stop what you're doing and appreciate nature.

I know it's only day two out here, but I think stopping to appreciate is something most of us will do while we're here in Columbia. We've all been offered a great opportunity to learn from some of the most experienced professionals in the sports journalism business.

Despite the impromptu sports checks at Shakespeare's Pizza or the threats of midnight sports checks, I'm pretty sure all of us will appreciate the time here when we look back on it down the road. But for now, our job is just to soak it all in.
