Today I submitted my first draft of my senior thesis for history! I am relieved and nervous all at once. So, before practice, I decided to do some coloring to distract myself before my day got busy again. It is cool to see that the coloring app I have on my iPad has a new collection for museums, where I want to work someday! This was a super quick and easy coloring page, but it did the trick. Before, I was feeling a bit nervous, as I now await my advisor’s comments on my 35 pages of hard work. I am also a little stressed, as we only have a couple more weeks in the semester (which is crazy; I swear yesterday was August!!) While I was coloring, I was only really thinking and worried about whether or not my phone, which I precariously propped up, was going to fall over in the middle of me filming myself. Thankfully, it did not! After I feel more zen, I do something that is a part of my distressing routine so that is always super helpful. For my next post, I will discuss an article by Natasha Czerwinski, Helen Egan, Amy Cook, and Michail Mantzios about teachers battling burnout with coloring!
