I walked away from the first class session with a lot of thoughts in my head about thesis — equal parts excitement and “I’M NOT READY!” It was really helpful to have a generative session of brain dumping and mulling. I definitely plan to continue this type of mulling and reflecting, as I don’t quite feel like I’ve landed on anything solid yet for a direction. I thought that the paired feedback was also great — in talking with Nicole, it was helpful to speak to someone who is not in my head, but does have some familiarity with the body of work that I have done. I look forward to more sessions of ideation.
