1. comments from CA2: I can create and sustain an inspiring and professional working space. I am able to document the realized work accurately.

2. actions/experiences/insights:
With corona and working mostly from home I noticed it can be really hard to stay motivated. There is not much a change of environment and there are less people around me to talk with in person, which I still prefer over talking online as there is more room for direct interaction. The whole situation taught me it is okay to take things a bit slower sometimes and take care of other important things such as mental health. It was nice that school also gave us that opportunity, with for example starting a bit later with the practices and having less classes in general.

Beginning of corona, I was at my parents’ house and really consisted of only sitting at home, not going outside much. I really took a lot of my energy to stay motivated and focused. Since beginning of this academic year I am back in Rotterdam in my own apartment, as I am also able to go to school and make reservations for stations. This last quad was a bit quieter for me so I took the advantage of making those reservation to have a bit of variety in my days, and to continue making things and using machines at school I otherwise would not have access to. Having more space, being able to talk with my roommate (who does the same major) and being able to work at school on my own helped me focus and work better.
