Happy March! I can’t believe it’s been a year since the first confirmed coronavirus case in New York, it feels like it’s been forever. It’s just frustrating because I feel like I could learn so much more if classes were in person. This coronavirus pandemic ruined a lot of my plans for this year and a lot of my college experience. Everyone always says that these are supposed to be the best years of your life, and I’m spending the best years of my life in my bed. In person classes are just so much more helpful. For example, the email that I received from Professor Otte was very helpful and the feedback helped push me in the right direction, but receiving that feedback in person and working on my essay together in person would be so much better for me to understand what needs work in my essay. Also giving back and receiving feedback to my peers would be easier in person. There’s a lot of meaning that is missed when it’s just emails back and forth or texts back and forth. Regardless, I’m happy with where I am in this class. I did very well on my first draft for the technical description, and aim to make it even better in the final draft due next week. I really enjoy receiving feedback from both my instructor and my peers because it offers multiple perspectives so that I can get a better overview of what I did well and what I need to work on. I will be spending the weekend working on this essay to get it as perfect as possible and meet all the requirements for the essay. But that’s it for now, I’ll be back next week!
