Hi Octavia. I also stated some of the same challenges you stated. It’s hard finding a balance between work, family, and studying. You want to be able to interact with your family once you leave work, but your focus should be on reading the next chapter. With me I can get side tracked easily. I’ll end up helping my little girl with her work and then she’ll want to go out for dinner or to play. Once I start to interact with her I lose track of everything. When everything is over, I have to go to bed for work. It’s hard but you have to have self-control. I must say in the past when I was taking online classes I had a great support team. My boyfriend was very understanding and supportive. Someone from my class was always available. It was a great

Music that captivates me is the kind of music that boasts poetic lyrics ladened in symbolism and a person's innermost emotions. Picking apart lyrics is something that has always brought me joy, and the more obscure the lyrics, the more room for interpretation, the more I could connect with them. Nowadays in the twenty-first century, we see less and less recognition and fame for our modern day writers and poets, and more recognition for pop culture stars. The attention may have shifted, but the basics are still there, our natural human craving for storytelling remains. I love music for that very reason, for it is in music that our modern day versions of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman thrive, just with a little embellished musical flair. Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys is one such modern-day poet that has captivated my attention and the attention of countless other hopeless romantics. The lyrics and music that Alex Turner writes bring a fresh take on the rock genre and will hold a place in the rock and roll hall of fame.
