Goals Revisited

I revisited my goals this week and I have conflicting thoughts. On one hand, I’m meeting the goals I set for myself of learning new forms of media and figuring out ways to utilize them outside of this class, but on the other, I have been truly unable to keep up with the rigors especially as of late due to health crisis after health crisis with my disabilities. I had two massive flare ups, a cold, and a horrible infection in the last three weeks alone and it has been physically incredibly challenging some days to even sit up to use my laptop without my heart rate spiking. While I haven’t been able to complete as much that is expected, I’ve been very happy with what I have created and I feel that I am much more digitally adept because of them. I’ve gotten to use my analytical skills to look into some of my favorite media like the colors in The Corpse Bride and the plot of Dear Evan Hansen, I’ve gotten to shine a light on who I am through playlists of music and videos, and I’ve learned a lot about an aesthetic that I’ve normally avoided due to it being very sensory overwhelming (I still find it overwhelming, I just know more information about it now). I’m hoping my health struggles ease up in the near future, so I can begin to effectively complete the assignments for this class and continue to work towards those goals.
