I slept until noon. After that I went back to bed until 6. Then I went to Wawa. During this time, I had the sniffles. Hopefully I will be able to go to school tomorrow because I have to check in with my teachers. I'm going to make tomato soup and go to bed.
The countries I chose were from two regions, Central America and East Asia. I picked these countries in order to learn more about them and their structure. The five point framework was quite simple but finding the 'correct' information was the challenge. There was not a hard part of the framework for me to look up. The only problem I had was trying to find out a way to present it. If I could do anything differently, I would have finished it earlier in order to get pointers on what to improve.
The two countries that I selected to compare and contrast were Iceland and Chile. My main reasons behind selecting these countries was I had an interest in the two countries. I didn't know much about the two and I wanted to see how they compare to each other. My process during this project was a little poor. I wasn't aware that we had a benchmark coming up due to the fact that I was out sick during the time it was due. I found out a day before the project was due that we actually had one. So if I could change one thing I would change how I communicated with Ms. Laufenberg. I shouldn't have emailed her and told her that I was going to be out for a week and asked if we were going to be assigned any projects. One of the most challenging parts of the project was locating information on the environmental damage and how both countries are trying to fix the problem.
So I was pretty sick on Thursday and Friday which is the reason why I was not in school those days for anyone who is interested. I am sure that literally no one cares or probably even noticed that I was no in school, but I figured I might as well make it known some where and tell the story of my sickness here. So I came up with some sort of virus but it was not the usual virus. My skin was heated up but I did not have a high fever. It felt like I was burning up but in reality everything seemed fine. I was getting light headed at some times and then my head felt like a rock, dropping like one too. It was really weird and I was about to go to the emergency room but as soon as the thought came to my head I felt better again. Then after some nice rest I felt fine during the night, slept well, wake up and it starts all over again. I felt like this for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Today I felt better. It was really weird. Meh.
I've been working on my Anatomy Benchmark. I love Anatomy since my future career involves me having a lot of knowledge of the human body. However, doing the work for the class can get boring at first but then I really start getting into it and I realize how perfect my future career is going to be for me.
I spent a lot of time listening to Wale, Wiz Khalifa, and Meek Millz. They just help me get into my zone.
I ate a lot of junk food, good idea or bad I don't know all I know is that it tasted good!
Drew a picture in my sketch book while listening to music which has to be one of the best feelings ever. I feel so in my own world and so happy.
I don't really have a story to tell today. its ten at night and I'm more tired than I should be. Today was alright, I went running and had pancakes for dinner. And now I'm going to go to sleep and wake up at 6 am for a longgg monday.

For this marking period are art class became more structured. Instead of our normal on big art project we were acted to do a couple of different task such as, still life drawings, self portraits, clear figure drawling and more. When first learning how to draw real life figures I want to good at it because it wasn't something I was used to. But as the period progressed I began to get better and you can notice that in my work as well. This picture of mine that I like the most is the still life. I feel like I took the most time on it and it really captured what it would look like in real life. Below are pictures of my art work.
INSPIRED BY ART HISTORY - WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
For our last project of the marking period we were asked to do something involving art history.Whether it be inspired by a artist or a style of art we had to create something that could represent it. We were given a varity of choices as to how we are going to present and I chose to pick 3-6
pieces from art history and create a 6 hour
drawing that reflects the inspiration and the theme of spring. And the artist I was inspired by was Vincent Van Gogh. When looking through his paintings I noticed a lot of flowers and art work that reminded me of spring. So I decided to do my own painting of flowers inspired by 3 different pieces of Vabn Gogh's work. Below are his paintings that inspired me and mine as well.
I had my music on blast, crossing the street listening to Wale. I was trapped into the lyrics. The music had me in my own little world. Nothing around me seemed real and then I heard a loud horn. A Chrysler 300 was coming at me. I didn't know what to do but stand back. As i jumped backwards the Chrysler swerved in front of me hitting the Dodge Charger in the lane with traffic going the opposite direction. The impact was intense having my ears ringing after the accident.
So I went to my bank to get my new card because my purse was stolen a few weeks ago and I had everything in it. Anyways after getting my new bank card I asked for my bank statement and to my surprise I use my card way to much. Like I don't even realize that when I go to the store I just get things and slide my card without even caring how much I'm spending. Like I freaking spend over $600 in less then one month. OMG don't let my mom find out because she's going to trip. Anyways I told myself that I wouldn't use anymore money of my card on Friday but its to late for that I've already spend $124 in less than three days. What am I going to do with myself in the future? OmG I think I need therapy ASAP!! :(
Today I was sitting at my dining room table and looked in my backyard through the window on the far side of my kitchen. I saw a squirrel on the fence. Starring at me. With a piece of pizza in its mouth, the piece I hadn't finished the night before. It turns out it wasn't a raccoon tearing our trash apart.
