Activity 3/23

Where have you relocated to?

I am back home in Austin, Texas. I am with both my mom and my dad. We have two foster dogs and my emotional support cat, so it is a full house. My dad just started working from home so we are all in the house 24/7. I’m kind of going crazy not being able to see anyone or really go anywhere, but I know it is for the best.

•What is your current technology setup for zoom?

I am using zoom on my laptop and I have a pretty good wifi connection, so I shouldn’t have any problems. I’m isolating myself upstairs in a closed bedroom so hopefully I won’t get distracted.

•What are you most worried about in general?

I am most worried about getting distracted because I have ADHD. I don’t do well with listening to audio and retaining the information so I need to take a more active roll to understand what is going on. I often zone out a lot so being in a physical space really helps me, but it is ok because everyone will have their own challenges with this new situation.

•How can this class in particular help?

I definitely appreciate the class participation aspect. I guess I would like more visual aspects like videos and presentations and things of that sort to keep me engaged and alert.
