march 18

[for your MOM: "How long can I feel an itch without scratching?"]

JOURNAL TOPIC:
How does uncertainty make you feel?  Do you think uncertainty is somehow inherently bad or good, or do the stories we tell ourselves about it make it so?  We are all navigating uncertainty, so please feel free to contribute today's journal entry as a comment to this post.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. (Speaking of uncertainty, it looks like the post I *thought* published last night failed, so hang in there while I get this together today...)

NOTES:
1. I received several emails from students about the governor's comments regarding school not opening until fall.  Right now, we are all speculating and paying close attention to the medical experts.  As soon as I receive any official word about school re-opening, I will let you know.
2. Since I don't have everyone's personal email at home (the list is in my desk at school), I will scrap together as many invitations as I can for Friday's video conference.  I may use school email for the rest, so please be sure to check whatever email account you use.  If you can, please send me an email to let me know where you want me to send the link.

  1. For me uncertainty is not a good feeling because when i'm uncertain about something it leads to me overthinking it and making it a bigger deal than it really is. For example right now the uncertainty of not going back to school has already led me to overthink things like how are we going to go onto our next year without actually finishing this one? or what about our grades? There's a lot of questions I have going through my mind and I know that I can't get the answers now which makes me feel uneasy.

  2. Uncertainty makes me feel not safe in a way. I won't know what is going to happen next which is not a good feeling since I won't know if I'll be okay or if everything will just go downhill. I think it is bad since to some people it can just completely overwhelm them.

  3. Uncertainty makes me personally worry. I don't like not knowing things and I certainly don't like being confused. Sometimes uncertainty makes a person feel lost, or disconnected from the world. As of right now there's a lot of uncertainty on whether we will return back to school or if Friday was our last day there and we just didn't know it. Uncertainty makes you feel overwhelmed and when that occurs you start to overthink. Sometimes overthinking leads you to bad thoughts. I think uncertainty is a bad thing because personally when ever I feel uncertain about things there's never a good outcome.

  4. Uncertainty makes me feel cautious. I think uncertainty is neither good or bad it can come out either way. I think we can never know how things turn out because we’re all still learning how to “risk it”.
