One of the things that I have a hard time wrapping my head around is perspective. Like, logically I get it and all the principles, but my hand and eyes never agree. So, one of my goals for my MFA is to work on my weaknesses and for my first semester I choose this class. Let me be clear, this class was the most challenging class I have done for a long time. I spent, no joke, four to five days out of the week on this one class. I had many, many different drafts and trash ideas. And don’t get me started on plotting light and shadows. At the end of the day, this was also the class I am most proud of. I am so glad that I pushed myself in an area that I struggle with the most. What do you guys think?

Hey Crew!

Welcome back! Sorry, I kind of ghosted you guys yesterday. I had some things to get done before classes start. Today was supposed to be a Fan-Art day, but I couldn’t come up with anything interesting. The struggle bus has been hitting me hard the past couple of days. Hopefully things turn around soon. I just have to remember it is ok to take a break and recharge. Whether or not it is a planned break or your body telling you that you are not doing anything today, listen to your body. Now it is time to start grinding again!

I just wanted to put out there my thoughts about how school is going to go. I figured that you all are tired of hearing about this subject, so I am going to try to make this short and sweet. It is mostly for me own benefit and you guys are just along for the ride. Thank you for your patience.

For starters, I am super excited! I am excited to connect with people. I am excited for the opportunity to grow and learn. I am excited to see where this adventure is going to take me. On the flip side, I am nervous. I am nervous about doing my schooling online. I am nervous that I am not good enough. I am nervous to be seen.

I have a few predictions for this next month. I know time management is going to be the one thing that I am going to struggle with. But I also feel like I am getting right back on that bike and it is going to be smooth sailing. I can see myself having to put my foot down with my family about how I am using my time. That is probably going to be the most difficult part this month. Gotta start crossing my toes and fingers.

At the end of the month I am going to post another check in to see how things are going. Then I am planning just to do a check in at the end of each semester. But if you guys have any questions or what to know how things are going in between, please feel free to ask!

So, this is it for today. I’ll be seeing you guys tomorrow for an update about the new branding changes. I’ll probably be posted late afternoon. I am still fighting with the struggle bus right now. Remember to stay safe and to stay sane.

Until next time,

Suzanna🌙
