An update on my week

           This week has been rather chaotic for Cyn and me. We have been working hard to accomplish our goal of creating a comic book. I have a personal goal of doing 10 comics. This may not seem like a lot, but our project evolved quite a bit. We did a lot more research and reading than we expected. Through reading, I was able to improve my analyzing skills. The comics that I read were also inspirational. They triggered several ideas for me.

In class Monday Cyn and I worked independently. I worked in the classroom drawing and drafting comic ideas. I listened to some music and got into the zone. However, I do tend to get side tracked when I work in the classroom. Outside of class I finalized my latest draft.

Tuesday I worked more on my comics in class. I made a rough draft. I like doing my rough drafts in class and finalizing them outside of class. Today Cyn and I decided to take different approaches on our finalized product. I will be creating a comic book with a small book that I have. Whereas Cyn will be scanning her comics and creating a book electronically.

Wednesday night I spent about half an hour drafting a comic. I also read some Calvin and Hobbs because I had a tough time falling asleep. I ended up reading a lot more than I expected.

Thursday in class Cyn and I decided to go to the library and work. This was a great idea. We sat at a table in the back of the library and worked diligently throughout the block. I was able to stay focused the entire time because there was barely anyone in the library. It was the quietest the library has ever been in my few years here. I definitely plan on working in the library next week. Outside of class I was busy with other work and one acts so I did not have a lot of time to draft comics. I started to finalize the one I worked on in class.

Friday in class I worked on my log and tried to incorporate my habits of mind/ what works well for me, and what doesn’t.  After this week I have decided to work more in the library, it can be very easy to get distracted in class when I hear other people talking about their projects.
