- Writing a small paragraph reflection for 10 minutes
- serotonin is definitely low considering that I exhibit most of the behaviors described, but that could just be a result of social deficiency that comes with online learning/quarantine situations. I wish I could give more time to myself to create, but the time for that rarely comes when I take out time for classes/socializing/maintaining relationships with people. I’m definitely going to change this a bit, and I bought a CS lifetime key to draw and create more.
STUDIO (CREATIVITY)
- Set a timer
- Spend up to 45 minutes
- Make something to share on Thursday (3rd Period) or Friday (4th Period)

It’s a short animation of a stick man dancing, but I couldn’t figure out how to record.
WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
- I learned how to use some aspects of Construct 3.
- I had to look up some guides to use it properly.
