Decision

This week I've been working on the abstract and my independent project for Multimedia.
I also submitted my enrollment deposit to USD this week. It was not a hard decision for me because I did not get into any of my top schools. I was not surprised because I knew I was not going to be admitted by those schools in the first place. Why would they want me if they have applicants who have published books, started their own business or speak several languages? Those students deserve to be accepted because they must have worked extremely hard. They were probably studying when I was eating, sleeping, shopping and wasting my time. I'm happy with attending USD. It is a nice campus and it is close to my house. However, I still wish I had worked harder.

Work, work and more work

I was really stressed on Monday when I realized how much work I have to get done in the next couple of weeks. inquiry project, climate change summit project, independent project,book and essays for honors, USD class, English class online...and I havn't done any math in the last 6 weeks.

Even though the list goes on and on, the calenda we got in Stephanie's class is very helpful because it keeps me on track and helps me to manage my time. I hopw I will be able to finish all these work on time (actually I have to) and still have time to sleep.

Twelfth Night Project

We originally planned to record our performances. For the first two days, we worked on translate our lines into modern English and put a script together. It definitely took us a lot longer than we expected. This means that we only have one day to finish our project. Therefore, we decided to take some pictures and put dialogues on those pictures instead. Even though we end up finishing our project on time, I think we should and could have done it a lot better. The lesson I learned is that we should not wait until the last minute to start working. We should also make a timeline while making a plan.

After seen other groups' production in class. I was really impressed by the live performance by Sydney and Serena's group. They did a very good job on writing their own script and playing their roles. I also really liked the graphic book by Kaylen, Leah and Lauren's group. They took some very cute pictures. I enjoyed Lamont's performance as well. It takes a lot of courage to act alone.

I also got my third book for the inquiry project today. It's called Never Let Me Go. So far, I've only read the introduction. It seems like an interesting book to read. And it also seems to be different from the other books I've read. I will make updates after I read more.
