I can honestly say that this was one of the most enjoyable courses I’ve taken, second only to my creative writing class; I was able to express myself in a similar way through writing my blog posts and, unexpectedly, with the help of gifs and memes.

Mornin’, hope everyone haven’t lost their minds in quarantine yet. It’s a bit simple but I managed to customize my site a little so if you have time (I know you do), feel free to browse through it.
