Signed up for an interesting class.

When I first heard of the Seeing Sideways class, was in my Team Building class from last spring term. My peers were talking about some of the projects done in Seeing Sideways, and then the instructor talked more about the class which brought about my interest. I can't remember in detail what all was said about the class because that was a while ago when they talked about Seeing Sideways. What I do remember is the talk of a fear project where you create something that expresses one of your fears. After hearing about Seeing Sideways, I felt I had to check the class out. I registered for it last fall. I heard that the class fills up fast, and you already know that when a class fills up fast, it's a good class, not to mention the instructor is a really cool instructor. I have had her before in my Team Building class, and in Photoshop. There were only nine openings when I registered, and I jumped in joy when I was registered, so I wouldn't have to be put on a waiting list. I look forward to the awesomeness I expect out of this class. Before class started, I checked out some of the assignments for Seeing Sideways, and saw one about an egg. I have already started planning what I'm going to do with the egg, but not sure which idea to go out on yet. The first day of class during the discussion of the criteria, I felt at ease and more relaxed because unlike all the other classes where grades are judged on what the instructor thinks we did good/poor in, we're not being judged on how good or bad our work is. I never knew such a class existed where you could create whatever you wanted and not be judged on it looks! Hopefully, having this break from the judgment world will help me kickstart drawing for myself again. I haven't drawn for myself in a long time, and I miss it. Drawing is a part of my identity. I would draw for the pleasure of drawing; it used to be one of my biggest passions. I don't know what happened, but whatever happened, I suddenly stopped and am only just getting back into the swing of things, but my drawings look very poor. I'm sure if I had continued, they would have gotten better over the many years lost of not drawing. I also think this class will help remind me of who I am. I used to be so carefree when I was younger. I'm hoping to return to that so I can shove out the negativity and continue to grow my wings for my journey to the goals I have set for my future.
