Break!

  This week is Thanksgiving break. I am absolutely bursting with excitement for my upcoming goals. First I have to finish a journal project for chemistry, but I excel in writing when I try and sound intellectual so I'm not particularly concerned. Afterwards I'm going to finish my many projects. I have a portrait I've added to my load that I've been told is phenomenal so I'm excited to see what my end product will look like. Then I will finish my bugs which includes finishing the coloring of some and the painting of all of them. I also have changed my pagoda idea a little. Instead of a T-rex destroying the city I'm going to have roots bursting through the city that I'm going to make by twisting paper, and I still plan to keep the same concept. I'm going to write on the roots, that are going to be like an "infection", the same words I would have written on the dinosaur. The idea sort of being that childhood innocence is being infected by the reality of growing up. So hopefully I'll have my plethora of projects finished by the end of Thanksgiving break.

  Next week I have a plan to get more people earning rice on Freerice.com. It involves guerilla sorta of art in the form of post-it notes all around my school. I'm going to be sticking them in bathroom stalls on bathroom mirrors, on doors, walls, windows and I'm thinking about putting notes under desks in classes and having it a chain note where multiple people reply. I hope to get people to reply and tell me maybe how much rice they earned. I also plan to send the English teachers at my school an email of an extra credit proposal involving Freerice.com. Hopefully this will all work!
