    These drawing are amazing! All 3 of them are great but the second one makes my mind wonder. A wooden figure, an instrument and a time piece. What does it mean? What was on your mind as you drew this? Something I always tend to think about when looking at art is what the artist had on their minds at the time of making their creations. About what drives their creativity.

Final Weeks*

Dear Self, Although as finals week may sound scary, I know that the final weeks are even more stressful. With due dates, final examinations, studying, and borderline grades hovering over your head, things can become very overwhelming. On top of all that, being married, having a part-time job, and looking to move doesn't make things any easier. But relax. Remember God. Give it your best.

You've gone through times that have been worse and tasted the sweet sense of relaxation that comes afterward. Use that as the motivation that drives you and allows you to grind through what's left. Be confident in yourself and focus. You've got a goal to reach, and you will reach it. You got this. Sincerely, Obaid P.S. If you ever need any extra, epic motivation, and to be reminded of your dream, watch the embedded video.

But then, you started to care about the way your writing was, and you began to put more thought into it. You cared about not only what you expressed on paper, but also how it was expressed. You tried at spoken word and discovered that you weren't terrible at it. Then you tried at short stories and began to improve.  This picture is going to make a lot more sense to you as you progress through this class. No more of that start-the-paper-the-night-before-and-not-revise-it habit. You will learn the value of revising your work, and that you will always have more room for improvement. I even shared my microtheme  with the entire class to get feedback on my work, which is something...
