Optimistic. Writing is not my strongest suit but I know I’ll be dedicated throughout this course to ensure I improve. Being an online student and peer makes learning feel strangely lonely. Though I enjoy learning from the comfort of my home it was a challenge staying concentrated. I caught myself getting distracted by my phone, food, and my comfy bed. I’ve already taken appropriate measures to prevent that from happening but it’s still one of my worries. Besides worrying and overthinking about being an upcoming college freshman, this summer I worked and worked. I’m hoping to continue balancing work and school this semester.
Attached below is a recent image of a collaborative painting between my friends and I. The conversation we had whilst painting makes it even more special!
I love collaborative paintings, Daizy. Are those your friends’ fingerprints at the bottom?
Don’t worry too much about distractions. First off: class is quite fun (if I do say so, myself), and second: drinking caffeine is a widely accepted motivator during my classes, and third: a mix of comfort and professionalism is what is needed to get by in a class this Early.
I can barely handle that last fact myself. 8:00 AM. Wow. We all need to figure out how to cope with that. : )
Thanks for sharing and for such a great photo. Art is one of The Most important things in my living and learning experience.
Yes haha! We used acrylic paint which turns out isn’t great for finger painting. Can’t wait for class tomorrow! I’ll be sure to have a good cup of coffee although my nervousness might do the trick.
Learning at home was definitely a challenge, especially if you had distractions like that. I found myself not paying attention way too often during my classes, in a couple I would actually fall asleep during them.
