Creativity in Quarintine


August 20, 2020




School usually would have started by now and the initial joy of spending more time at home is starting to run out. However, I have started many new things during this time that I find to be very enjoyable, one of which is baking more often. I have started baking bread and it has been rather delightful. As opposed to going out and trying to find people that I think might be safe and spending time with them my family and I have been very cautious with covid and have found more creative ways to spend our time, my baking was one of these. We have considered the ethics of going out and spending time with others and have come to the conclusion that while it would be very enjoyable it is not the right thing to do as we simply don’t know enough. I dug our old bread maker out from the pantry and have been making lots of loaves and experimenting and as I have learned more I have become more creative with the things that I do with it. I believe that this falls under learning outcome 7 “Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions” as we have considered the ethics of attempting to socialize and have decided to play it safe instead.

First of all this was an awful situation as it got incredibly cold incredibly quickly as our houses here in Texas were designed to get rid of heat as fast as possible and when the heaters don’t have power the temperature dropped pretty quickly. Luckily I had had all of my camping things but we went to work trying to make sure that we could deal with outages as best we could. I passed around my jackets and flashlights and we all had one with us before the power went out because we knew it was going to go out soon and wanted to be ready. I also went with Nathaniel to the grocery store to pick up food and water when we had a chance because we didn’t know how long it would all ask. I d...

J-Term

  January 20, 2021 I have been working on Purella (our spin off of Cinderella) and we have added parodies of ABBA songs to it which has not only been challenging, but also really really entertaining. It is incredibly fortunate that “Dancing Queen” and “Quarantine” rhyme and have the same amount of syllables. Here’s the chorus of our first song   (To the tune of dancing queen) “Cause this is quarantine A-void-ing, Co-vid 19 Quarantine Wash your hands, make sure you’re clean, ooooo yeahahaha You can plant, you can bake, look at the things you can make See the news, watch the streets It’s quarantine!” This was absolutely creativity and I believe that it fell under learning outcome 5 as this entire musical was a collaborative piece put together by the whole J-Term group
