Week 8!!!

Hello everyone! This week we were challenged to think abot our obstacles and express them in a creative way. I drew out a few of my obstacles and couldn't help but be influenced by the prompt and draw myself in the middle. I drew myself as a tree, I think because I see myself as always growing and needing to learn new things. Around me I drew little bubbles with pictures of my obstacles. For example, one of my obstacles was a picture of a house because I am now away from my home it causes me stress and uneasiness. Another picture was that of a computer with a paper and pens. This represented the fact that I am taking online courses and do not have the in-class instruction that teachers give. The last picture I'd like to discuss was that of a clock because I feel like time is an inevitable thing that must be worked with, and I have not been doing so well lately. Thanks for reading!

Freewriting!!!

I thought it was a lot easier to write knowing that no one else was going to read it. I wrote down whatever came to my mind for a timed 5 minutes and spent an extra 7 seconds finishing my last thought. In this writings my thoughts were very scrambled from thinking about topics including all my school due dates, not being home with my family, my friends and boyfriend, my roommate situations, and all the things that are happening in my life at this moment. I found that writing down all of my thoughts I was relaxed and found that even though some of my thoughts weren't so pleasant, it felt better to tell the paper what I was thinking than just hearing myself over and over again. After I reviewed what I wrote I saw that my thoughts seemed to revert back to the same topics. For example, I was thinking about the topics mentioned in 350 about pregnancy and it just got me thinking about my family and stuff.
