Geisha Girls

My group's presentation was a success! Aside from accomplishing our makeup and hair in the morning, we were able to pull together a very geisha-like presentation. I was so proud of each one of my members and how well we did. I've never in my life been able to fully rely on anyone when it comes group projects, so for this one time, so for the eleven years i have been in school this day has finally come. I have to say if it wasn't for certain individuals, Lorita and Anh, our presentation would have been nothing compared to how it turned out. Thanks so much for your participation guys, because this month of preparing was sooooo worth it due to your efforts and realness.

My ipod

I was so disappointed last week when I found out my ipod was stolen during sixth period. I really thought I could trust all the kids in Thompson's class, but I guess I was wrong. It wasn't even the fact that it was stolen that made me so mad, but it was my privacy that was invaded. Someone had the nerve to go in my bag and take something that was very personal to me. My name was even engraved in the back of the ipod and it was a gift given to me by my parents. I think it was so wrong and something that I didn't deserve at all. I have no problems with anyone in the class, so I couldn't imagine who would do such a thing. Whatever the reason may be, I really hope that individual is so bothered by their guilt that the will return it.

African Safari

For the past couple of days I have been working on a painting that my sister has asked me to do for her. It's been such an eye opener for me because I have always told myself that there is no way that I'm going to be able to work with paints. But when I started to paint my lion, I began to see how much it flowed like the rest of my art pieces. I'm now working on completing the zebras and finishing up the first canvas. I really appreciated my sister buying me the three canvases because it has caused me to challenge myself  and my artistic abilities.

Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley

The WCSV is the best way to to earn community service. I've been volunteering at the center for about three weeks now and I LOVE IT. I basically feed and take care of sick or injured little birds and other animals. My shift is only a four hour shift each week, so its neither too much or too little to ask for and finishes my community service in a beneficial way. It is so rewarding to be making a difference in the animal society.

Project

I'm feeling a little uneasy about this project for Thompson. Its intimidating that we have to be able to finish a book within about two weeks and on top of that be able to come up with a lesson plan for the class. I guess we get to see what it's like to be in the teacher's shoes for the day. It seems to be overwhelming, but I think my group and I will pull through and do a great job on this project.

Lil Squirt

When you're able to resite lines back and forth from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas for  forty five minutes without getting tired of it and sing in harmony just because of boredom, you got a true best friend. I love my bro so much and I'm going to miss that little stinker! Everyday it gets only closer and closer to his departure. But, then again if looking at it from a different perspective, it gets closer to his return.

Snow Day

It is true when they say that some people, at heart, will always remain kids. My dad took us up to the mountains today where there was still snow upon the tree tops and blankets along the ground. The minute we stepped out of the car I had to touch the snow. I couldn't remember the last time I had took a snow road trip prior to this one. Chur chur and I began to throw snowballs at eachother, but then decided to use twin power and gain up against my dad. Besides one other time in my life, I had never seen my dad act so giggly and playful. He was running around and cracking up; having a great time playing in the snow with us. I thought it was adorable and soooo cute to see that side of my dad. It was refreshing to spend a day outdoors, but also to spend a day with my dad. A lot of times, for me anyway, it's hard as a daughter to bond with my dad. But in this environment and time, bonding time was perfectly reached.
