Creativity

I'm really exited over this new comic! And I feel that I really like making different kinds of ”everyday mistakes” comics since it's that kind that people can relate to as well as laugh at. The absolutely best part about making a new comic is peoples reaction when they read it, how they giggle, laugh or smile. It just makes me happy and it feels like I have succeeded when that happens. That is also why having Antonia as my supervisor is so nice since she think most things are funny, and so I will always get a possessive response when I'm the most insecure about my comics.

It feels like I have really improved in my twirling even thought it was just my second time. It also feels like a really nice diversification from studying since it's something I can actually improve in physically and not in a brainy way. It's like a brake for the brain as well as good training! It also feels good to get some exercise since I can no longer longboard or bike due to it being all snowy and icy!

We have now started making a program with according to Magda “easy” twirls. For me it's not so easy but a challenge to keep up with Magda's speed and technique. But it feels really great that I could choose the song for myself since now it's a song I like as well as a good speed for me. The song is called “Someone to love” by Fountains of Wayne. And it feels like a song I will never grow tired of and I really like how they sing stuff like “Don't give up!”, it really helps ^^

I'm so happy for Barbro! She plays really clean tunes and not at all as raspy and sometimes false as she did in the beginning. We have changed our trainings to Mondays even though she won't be able to make it next week since she is working evening. But she have made so much improvement and she even managed to take the new tune completely clean on the first try!!!

And I'm really happy that I'm actually able to notice things she does wrong and ways for her to improve. She says herself that I'm a great help and it feels really good that this knowledge that I never really used before actually comes to use helping someone else doing something she wants. Because before the flute was just laying at home and I never really used it. Now I've revived my old skills and are using them in a new way that brings me a lot of joy. It's great to feel that I'm actually making a difference. It might not be a big difference but it still makes me happy.
