Phew – creating my capstone project has been a rough go so far – but not in the traditional
sense. Over the past few weeks, I’ve managed to obtain a good amount of information on
Lithuanian culture, my grandfather, and other such things that I think would be good additions to
my multimedia book. However, the issues start when I actually begin writing. You see, I have a
hard time actually sitting down and writing. I think this is mostly due to the fact that I care about
this book very much, and want to properly be able to honor my grandparents’ story. I have
written some things – about a page and a half – but it’s nowhere near enough for the size this
project should be. I think another aspect of all of this is that I’m just so burnt out from school. All
of my classes are around 9am, and as a night owl who struggles to fall asleep before 11:30pm
on the regular, that’s not good. Currently, my future plans are to set up writing times and
schedules for myself, and to try and commit to those. I’ve also been slowly putting together a
photo gallery of items from my grandfather and his homeland. My main goal though right now is
to inspire myself to jumpstart the writing process, and I plan on doing that by visiting a
Lithuanian culture center I found located in Philly. That’s it for now though, I’ll be checking in
again soon! Included with this post a few of the photos I’ve been taking, I hope everyone enjoys
them!
