Hey everyone, I hope you are feeling good. I have been feeling alright. Since this virus had been around to be honest I have not being scared at all for the fact because I’m self-quarantined. This situation has been started as a joke since in the beginning, starting with social media when people use to make fun about this virus. I’m not going to deny I have been posting some funny memes in social medias too, but now I’m aware that this situation is serious. There are thousands of people getting infected every day and a considerable number of them are dying. Spending my time inside I have been cleaning my home more than I use to before, but It’s a way to keep myself and family clean and safe. I also spend my time watching Netflix, the movie that I recently watched lt’s called ”All the bright places” by Brett Haley. It’s a great movie. I’m also spending my time painting, It’s my favorite thing to do. It’s so relaxing and it’s a way where I always find myself into. To end this I want to say to you all stay safe and keep yourself clean, wash your hands constantly and don’t stress out because everything is going to be okay.

I appreciate your telling us not to stress out!
Painting sounds like fun, and also like a way to gain self knowledge.
Do you think that we are all going to learn more about ourselves this semester than about English? : – )
And, is that okay?
Communicating effectively is now more important than ever.
You know I’ve been a painter, too, right? And that I work with artists and help them write?
I’m curious:
What is your medium? What subjects do you like to paint? Do you work from imagination or real life?
Stay well, Sigi,

Thank you for replying to my post, I appreciate it. Yes I think we all are going to learn more about ourselves this semester. I think English is not all about having a perfect grammar, I think it’s about how well we write based on our experiences or what perspectives we have for different things. Yeah I remember when you told us in class that you are a painter, we share the same desire of art. Since in my first steps when I started painting I liked painting landscapes. I combine both my imagination with the real life, and I also use my creativity skills to make a good artwork.
Stay safe, Prof
Thanks for telling us about what you been up to.
Painting sounds fun as you know I also love painting as well. What are you painting now ? And like you said is a way to just relax and focus on something else on this hard times. Just like you I’ve also been watching Netflix 🙂 hope you stay safe.

Hey Zahira!
It’s great when my friend like you shares the same passion about art, which I really like. I saw some of your artworks and they were great. I’m starting to paint a landscape different from the ones I showed you in class. Great to hear from you Zahira stay safe!

Ive been wanting to paint too but I have literally no supplies and its too late to go out and get some. Maybe I will order on Amazon but even Prime delivery for most items have been shut down and are expected to arrive late April. Maybe I will try drawing.
