My Process Through the Process

My Process Through the Process
By Gavin Kearns

In procrastinating writing my blog post I was on Facebook (or maybe I was "liking" the NWP page), I noticed a notification.  I was tagged in some photos.  Perhaps I should scroll through, one may spark some memories.

That one was from today.  I couldn't have been sleeping right?  Let me keep scrolling.

Still from today. I'm beginning to notice a pattern.

I know what many of you are thinking.  No these photos are not photoshopped.

Here I take a slightly different pose however, for some reason hand still attached to face.

Hard to see, I'm all the way on the left.  Exactly what is wrong with me?  Why are my hands always on my face?  Does my neck not support me?

Even from the beginning of the institute, what is wrong with my head and why can't it keep itself up?

I've gone through all of the photos of myself (and procrastinated enough), after having gone through 3/5 of the institute, I can tell I'm learning.  At this point I'm looking for who is the voice of this post and what are they trying to say.  I'm thinking what about my post will grab their attention and want to keep reading.  The words I type are exploring what is the theme I'm trying to convey versus what will the reader take away?  How will I include the meaning and will the reader see it?  But to me because I'm thinking of all of those things as I write, I have grown as a writer.  I do think of those things while I form thoughts and write and know that the best thing I can do is put words down first, I can always revise. I just have to trust the process.

P.S.
One last photo I found.  I think I found a future science teacher that attends the institute:
