Week one

The first week of class is always stressful for me. This week more than before. When we talked about tips to decrease the overwhelming feeling in class today I could feel myself begin to relax and actually be able to think about what we were discussing. Once relaxed, I was able to make a connection with one of Eisner's 8 lessons. Lesson number 8, which talked about taking your time and slowing down; being able o focus on what is at hand. Because I was overwhelmed I was not able to look deep into the lessons, but when I relaxed, slowed down and took my time everything became more clear. Keeping myself out of the overwhelming and stressful circle is what I need to do.
