A Beautiful Day

Positive Psychology Field Trip

Experience Music Project

  

This is my experience before, during, and after going to the Experience Music Project (EMP) in Seattle with my Positive Psychology class on February 23, 2008.  Before taking this trip I really had no idea what EMP was. I had no idea where EMP was even located. I go to Seattle often and regularly attend women’s Storm basketball games during the summer months.  I think it is great that there are women’s sports and that they have created the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). What I hadn’t realized was that every Storm game I have attended I walked right by the EMP. I always wondered what that building was. When I asked Lisa where the EMP was, she described the building and I knew exactly where it was.
