They (whoever that might be) say that it's easier to learn new things when you're younger. I guess this might be true to some extent, but I think it ignores how amazing our minds are in terms of learning new skills and the amount of knowledge we can know. I feel that everyone has such incredible potential to expand their minds and grow every day.
The reason why I'm so excited about learning is because of my ceramics class. The first day I attended I was so overwhelmed and frustrated that I was worried I'd never even figure out how to center my clay on the wheel. However, after just one more class and a few hours on my own, I'm amazed at what my hands can make! Now I'm not saying the things I've made have been anything spectacular, but they are recognizable shapes and decent ones. I've also been watching youtube videos of people throwing on the wheel and I'm like, wow, I can do that too. And it just looks so cool when you watch it! Maybe I'll have to find a good one an post it.
The other exciting news is that I baked TWO loaves of bread the other day and they turned out sooo good. I think this is going to be a good semester.
Maybe all of you learn something new today.
Love,
Katie
