I'll only be working on the following: - Final SCS review for @BruceDee1 - Sprite request for @KennedyIsBackRound2 (and maybe @Mewzer) - SixFanarts challenge (I need four more characters. Please check out the request project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/383974995/) - My own sprites and worldbuilding.
Vent incoming. I won't be as active on Scratch because of online school... which I don't like. With the whole world affected by you-know-what schools are forced to adopt the online class model so everyone can be safe. And while I do appreciate them taking schooling online... well, it's not that great for me. When school days were normal, I had actual incentive to study and work. But now we're all stuck in quarantine and I really just wanted to focus more on my personal goals during this time. That's not possible because my parents are enforcing online school more and more. I think my major problem with online classes is the lack of engagement. A boring subject could be made exciting by the teacher, heck, it could be easier to learn because of the interaction between teacher and students. Yes I know we have Zoom/Microsoft Teams/whatever but it's missing that feeling... and it only makes me more bored than I already am. I don't feel like I'm truly learning - it's just applying knowledge to our assignments or homework. What's the point even? Our Grade 9 PATs (provincial assessment tests?) were cancelled. I think we have just normal final exams instead, but that's not as big of a goal as these difficult PATs. Also, what's the point of all this quarantine free-time when you still have a school schedule, but at home? Ironically, this quarantine makes my life feel more restricted. Yes, not going anywhere is for the best of us. But I haven't been anywhere for about a month now, and I'm going to be stuck with the same games and books for a while. (Which I can't play until I finish my schoolwork - you home console/desktop PC gamers have it easy) I don't even feel all too inspired to do art or music. TL;DR: I want to have actual school days again and I feel very bored and uninspired. This pandemic sucks.
