Hey guys, I hope y'all are reading this from the safety of your homes!

Here is me at home.

That is where I am. Inside my home. In rural Wisconsin. Unfortunately. I am honestly pretty bummed about not being able to take this course at Lawrence where we could engage in discussion a bit more naturally, but this will have to do. Hopefully we can all make the best of it. :)

I wanted to take this course because for basically my whole life I have been a baby about watching scary movies and I think that should change, mainly because at their core I find them fascinating. And I am not really sure why. I guess the hope is that this course will help me figure that out, plus a whole bunch of other cool things. Basically I find theory very compelling haha.

Quarantine has been a bit boring, as I am sure it has been for most of us. It is just me and my mom here and it can definitely get dull at times. I have been trying to get outside on the nice days, ya know, trying to take advantage of the free state park entrances when I can. Something I couldn't help thinking about with quarantine and this class is that, when I had signed up, I was under the impression that I would be watching these films with my friends and classmates which would lessen the mental blow for me and my wandering thoughts. But now, the circumstances have changed drastically. Now I will be watching the films alone in my old, creaky farm house smack dab in the middle of woods. So that is super great. Wish me luck. 👍

Oh also I have engaged in the cultural phenomena that is Tiger King.
