Now that spring break is over all of the confusion of school is back and I'm lost again for what I have to do. I've heard from several people that the next two weeks are essentially a half spring break in which teachers aren't allowed to teach new material, set due dates, or give any kind of grade for assignments. I'm left in a great pit of confusion by this because several classes had already assigned work prior to the corona cancellation and now I'm not sure if it will be due then or after these two weeks, because either way a grade can not be given until then. The primary issue with this is that it is not a large enough concern with me to ask whether or not assignments will be graded or accepted late because I don't want to go through the extra work and every assignment will have to be done at some point. So I figure I'll just work on all of my assignments as usual and finish them when I can, which for this class works great, we've already been working at our own pace following the tutorials for the majority of our recent assignments so I should be able to continue doing that, but now I'm not sure when the quarter ends. If work can't be graded for the next two weeks then there's no way the quarter ends on the 29th, but it is marked on the calendar to end then and it causes me to wonder when our large project is due. Essentially, while the sudden spring break and school closure has been quite confusing and unproductive I'll try my best to stay on top of these assignments, which I'm not even sure will be graded.

This year we've mainly focused on creating games as well as improving our art skills on paper to aid in the production process. Overall I can say that my artistic skill on paper has increased tremendously, and though not all of my drawings turn out great they are at least distinguishable and detailed at this point. As for the work we've done with coding I'm pretty sure I now have a pretty solid grasp of basic coding, at least enough knowledge to be able to build my own simple game. I may not have mastered it yet but I'm sure with time it will come, as long as I continue to practice my coding skills. As for the cancellation of school, I'm not too sure what we're supposed to be doing right now in any of my classes but at least for this class I can work from home with Unity. Luckily my experience with the tutorials has gone rather smoothly so far and I hope it continues to stay that way especially when working from home where there are no classmates or teacher to help me if I run into issues. I'm also trying to up to date with all of the deadlines for these assignments, I know I'm ahead of some of my classmates but even still I'm somewhat behind compared to the recommended due dates. I'm sure in the end all will be fine so long as I work and spend my freetime wisely in these coming weeks. I may even spend some of my freetime drawing on paper, though I won't start any of that until I'm sure I know what is going on with all of my classes.
