yes

Heeeyyy there. I managed to write this before entirely forgetting it, but it already has been 2 weeks. Well nothing much happened the week before, so ...
let's start

Creativity: WE MADE A GAME.

*(aka. meand2morestudentsfromschoolwenttosomethingcalleddesginfestandmadeanabridgedgame ofdoodlejumpwhereyoucouldonlyjumpovertheboards.itwasfun.)

I have also realized that my drawing skills have been improving immensely these months. It has been, what, only 9 months since I started doing it seriously? By serious, I mean drawing for an hour every single day. It's fun.                                                                  I swear I did this
 I'm trying to modify my workspace as much as I can to subject my hands to less pressure, like lifting the tip of the drawing tablet that I stole from my sister and stuff. It helps.
.                                                                                                                            
Oh, also my sister's film got a jury award.                                                    

Activity: Well, the girls basketball team was not really able to meet for practices because of the exam week and the stuff our school decides to do, so I decided to focus on getting my body back in shape, increasing my flexibility and fixing problematic areas.
I'm talking about Yoga.

I wonder if every person entering the world of yoga thought it was an easy practice and got their buts kicked like mine. I have been following a Yoga challenge video series on Youtube and it's surprisingly ok. I thought there would be some absurd poses I'd have to do. I'm happy to say that only 10% of the ones I did where stuff I'd never do in a yoga class. I'm fine with the comforts of the hard floor and the uncomfortable beach towel.



Service: Nothing much to do for service these days. Not many people have been
signing up for bookmobile because of the exam week and stuff, so there weren't enough people to go to the schools. I don't think the things I did these last 2 weeks counts as service either. I still try yo help my sister with her homework but she'd rather not have me.

Is this turning into a monthly thing?

Sooooo

it has been 3 weeks

...

let's go over what happened in that period, shall we?

Creativity: It looks like I'm transferring to the Maker club from STEM. The former seems like a good opportunity: I'll be able to learn a lot more about coding and how Arduino works, as well as some programming languages such as Python. We'll se how it goes I guess. I've been doing some computer programming courses in Khan academy ass well, though that only teaches JS as far as I know. The club member tasked with teaching us Python recommended a website called Sololearn. It's simple enough but will definitely only teach the basics.
As for drawing, I think I'm getting better? Currently I'm trying to focus on the body shapes, their "line of action", etc., and also a bit of pixel art as there is a game making workshop event in Istanbul and I'm the graphic designer of my group that will make our own game, just one of every 3-(wo)men teams from different schools. I think it's kind of a contest. I'm really excited about it. Sadly, it seems I need to go to the workshop of my designated role in the group. So I won't be able to learn much about  game designing and coding. Maybe I can ask my teammates what they learned.

Activity: I have been trying to get back at exercising, at least once a week whether inside my dorm room or elsewhere. Sadly our basketball team was not able to come together for a very long time because the gym is always scheduled for some other team.

Service: The teaching is done for the school year. For now I've been only doing bookmobile, though not much have been planned these past weeks. Last Sunday I was the photographer for a school welcoming/information event, for parents that thought about sending their children to our school. I had to walk around for 3 hours with some occasional breaks. I have no idea why they got me for the job. I'm not really confident about my photography skills. But I guess it turned out alright.

I'll have to make special effort to go back to the weekly reports, it seems. As seemingly simpler and easier, mostly posts leave out too many things, a lot of details lost.
So, see you next week I guess.
