It&#8217;s hard enough working through finals, as I&#8217;m sure you all know, but this added layer of contamination feels quite grim on top of that. It&#8217;s at least given me an opportunity to force myself to relax, but there is only so much of that I can take, since I&#8217;ve found I have a proclivity to desire work. Either way, I&#8217;m trying to make the best of my time in isolation, drawing as much as I can. I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of painting studies, which I usually wouldn&#8217;t have time to do. It does feel nice, once I can pull myself away from my anger and stress.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, my dog pushed my door open to stare at me for a moment. It was a nice reminder of the existence of the outside world, the love that exists in nature and people. Her eyes made me smile; I had my own UMich &#8220;therapy dog&#8221; session for the day. I think taking that time to look outside, text a friend, look at old pictures, or anything like that while studying is a good way to keep us grounded in what matters. Let&#8217;s keep taking care of ourselves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again, hope everyone is well!
