A Break that I Needed - #22

February 14, 2022

Last week was a week of brief pause for the first time in my ISM journey. I was sick with a fever the entire week, so I was out of school most of the time. I was not able to make any progress on my final product other than my research assessment at the end of the week. However, a big lesson that I learned from this break is that everybody needs to take a break every once in a while, no matter who or how strong they are. I did not necessarily think that I was burnt out or anything, or that I even needed a break before last week. I was ready to get going with my product and meet with my mentor, so I was honestly upset that I got sick and was not able to continue on with my original plan. However, after taking this short break, and looking back now, I think last week was a good weak for me to recharge and regain my energy for this week. I feel more refreshed and healthy, and better than ever before. I feel motivated to finish my display board for our research showcase, and get started with my final product to log more hours. Speaking of the display board, I went supply shopping last weekend so that I can complete it for our showcase on time. I know where I am going to arrange all my information, as well as the color scheme I will be using overall. I just need to print out more graphs and business models from my original work, and lay them out to see how they fit. I am excited to complete this fun little "project," and I hope my board turns out the way I want it to, all neat and pretty.
