I have had two challenges so far in the course, including sickness and
difficulty perceiving the musical portion of our work. For the past
month, I have been recovering from COVID, which takes a toll on my
daily activities by inducing chronic migraines and draining my energy.
Thankfully, I am starting to recover and have managed my illness and
schoolwork by listening to my body when it needs nutrients, rest,
and working during the times I have the most energy. As for
challenges within the course, I struggle with the musical aspects due
to not understanding elements of music, even when going through
and re-reading the previous chapter a multitude of times. I have not
overcome this challenge, but possible solutions are looking into third-
party explanations and reaching out to others for more information.
