For my children's lit course, we were assigned to read Legendborn and it fascinated me to look at how Bree fits into the world. At first glance, she not the average lead. She is a person of color, she just wants to go to college, and the only reason she wanted to get involved with magical society was because of her mom's connection to them. But the more I though about it, she also fits really well into more typical the hero's journey troupes. She dives into the unknown with much hesitation to only discover that she is a chosen one figure.

I finally finished doing the timing assignment. I had to do ten 30 seconds drawings, ten 2 minute ones, and five 5 minute ones. I did a few along with the teacher on the video just to see if I could by example. Consistency has been the strongest contender on learning how to handle flow with my pencil when looking at lines of action of each appendage it's conveyed in.

What you need:

Paper

Color pencils 

A pen 

A stickynote or small piece of paper. 

Step 1.) Think of last week and what difficulties you experienced the most. What I wrote: Being undisciplined and feeling empty (like stuck in a void) 

Step 2.) Write down the nasty criticism you gave yourself because of it  What I wrote: You’re useless,  you are a failure etc &  heavy but empty head, body feels ditached from itself etc.

Step 3.) Visualise your difficulty in any form on the paper!              You don’t have to be an Artist, so don’t put pressure on yourself.  What I drew: Lazy girl for undisciplined and sweater with no one wearing it for emptyness.

Step 4.) Write down a healthy “adult” message you would give yourself: What I wrote: Take your time.You CAN do this, because you are a trooper. It’s alright to feel empty sometimes,  I am proud of how far you’ve come, etc etc,

Get as creative as you want! But don’t Forget to include de positive and supportive messages

Sorry, I have been gone all day, it's been a weird one.

1: Yesterday seemed to have been a schoolwide mental health day, as did today.

2: Annoyed people strive to make you feel as terrible as they do even though they are making too big of a deal out of a homework assignment. (x2)

3: ALWAYS REMEMBER THE HOUSE KEY!!!

4: Don't bottle up your feelings, they will lead to a panic attack over parking situations.

5: Always get your breaks checked.

6: WEIRD QUESTION OF THE DAY.

7: Lost Kitten Toys are really amusing when sad/upset.

8: ear drops (yes you read that right) are horrible ((just like eye drops)).

9: make every pun possible.
