This week I continued knitting my stuffed animal bunny for my 20% project. Some of the accomplishments I experienced this week are, knitting around 4 centimeters or more of my stuffed animal bunny’s torso. Also flowing through the process in knitting really easily, and as well as not making any mistakes, like holes or looseness in the knitting. I had no struggles with my project this week. Some adjustments I’d like to make are trying to knit faster than I usually do to get this part of the project done. Next week I will add around 3 centimeters more and finally finishing the torso area of the stuffed animal. Then I will sew the torso closed to finish it off. I’ll most likely begin knitting the head of the bunny, which I will stitch to the torso region to make the whole thing come together. Thanks for reading, see you next week!

The room in my house that is my favorite is my bedroom. In my room, there’s all the things that I love such as, jewelry, trinkets, drawing books, stuffed animals and more. This accessibility to these things makes me like being in this room. I have a TV in my bedroom, and watching TV sort of helps me relax after hard days at school. I also like to be on my phone while laying on my bed, which is covered in a bunch of blankets so I’ll feel comfortable when it’s cold. I have a small shelf next to my bed which houses a lot of things but more specifically, things that I like to look at, or fidget around with. All these reasons can prove how much I like being in my room.

This week for my 20% project, I’ve learned helpful things on knitting. I did this by searching all over YouTube, and getting help from my grandmother a couple days before today. The accomplishments I made this week were learning tips and tricks on how to keep your knitting from being loose, from YouTube. This means to make the stitches on the knitting tighter. I also found how I can make a body for the stuffed animal bunny I’ll be making. I did have some struggles, such as forgetting to bring my knitting tools to work on, but it did give me a chance to research tips on knitting. The adjustments that I will make is to constantly remember to bring my knitting supply’s to school for when I’ll be working on this project. Next week, I’ll be picking up on continuing to work on the body of the stuffed animal. Thanks for reading!

Whenever my classes and I begin to learn something new, I all ways feel that the information sinks in to my brain faster than other people. Meaning that I really don’t need that much practice on that subject, but I do it anyway. Now, this is not me bragging, Im just stating that if Im ever put to do a project, I’m all ways done before my table mates. This also makes them question how I’m already done. I sometimes ask my table mates, what they’re having trouble on, but they all ways say something that is quite simple to figure out. Either way I give them clues to help. My grades are all straight A’s which can explain how I am caught up with work so fast, but I still feel like I need an answer on why I am.

This week I started my 20% project. For this project I am improving my skills in knitting. This week I began doing the cast off stitch, which is when you start the knitting that you want to do. My accomplishments are easily starting it off without any confusion about it. I did not have any struggles for this week’s work. The adjustments I made to stay on a successful track, are making sure the warn wasn’t tethered or ruined before I start using it. My mentor is my Grandmother because, she’s been knitting for a long time, and knows a lot about designs, and other things you can do with knitting. I have left off on the middle of my first stitch, and I will pick up there next time. Next week I’ll be working on knitting the entire torso area for the project. Thanks for reading, see you next week!

My grandmother, my mom, and my best friend are the three people I’d invite to dinner. I’d invite my grandmother because she loves going out to different places, especially with family members. She’s also really kind to people she’s never met. Which is why I would also include my best friend. My friend is very sweet and kind, and shares almost everything in common with me. This is probably why I would love to talk with her during dinner. Last but not least my mom, she doesn’t really get out much because of work. She would probably also like to go out to dinner with me because it has been a while since we have. And because she’s worked so hard to take care of me and my siblings, the best I can do is give her a meal with no other kids needing her. These are the three people I would bring to dinner with me.

This month I decided to read Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton. I haven’t finished the book yet, but I’m on page 59. This book is about a boy named Rusty-James that looks up to his older brother, who is called by people in their neighborhood, The Motorcycle Boy. But the problem is: is that Rusty is more of a person who gets into fights all the time, and whenever he does his brother is always there to help him out. But as Rusty-James life begins to progressively get worse, his brother isn’t there to help him through that. I’m beginning to like this book a lot because, it shows the perspective of a younger sibling. The book also gives a good message of that you shouldn’t always depend on someone else to help you whenever you need to, because there may be instances where you can’t ask for help. My Favorite character so far is The Motorcycle Boy because he does help his younger brother but also knows that he doesn’t have to all the time. This quote can prove my statement, “When did you get here?” Smokey asked him. Then to me he said “ You’re hurt, man.” My favorite Quote from the book is, “he was the coolest person in the whole world. Even if he hadn’t been my brother he would have been the coolest person in the whole world. And I was going to be just like him.” I liked this quote because it show just how much Rusty-James looked up to his brother and praised him. Also how he wants to just be like him when he’s older reminds me of how some of my siblings are. Happy reading!

If I could have any job in the world, it would be an actress. Theater and acting has always been an interest of mine since I was little. I would really love to be in the spotlight of a movie and even just short film. I like to act out stories that may or may not be true for entertainment purposes, also for making a personal goal of mine. Acting along with many other stars of Hollywood would be exiting for me as well. And possibly achieving an academy award for my performances would be a dream.

This month I began reading Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer. I haven’t finished reading this book yet but Im on page:50. This book is about a teenage girls that is already struggling at school with two friends that have separated, but both are still friends with her. Although she does have friends on her swim team she hangs out with. Until a meteor strikes the moon and begin coming closer to earth. Earthquakes, floods that kill and volcanic eruptions that are high then clouds begin to happen soon after. Now Miranda is trying to survive with her loving mom, little broth named johnny, and older brother named Matt in a little house with food and clothes to last them a whole two years. I really like this book because it shows a near “end of the world” experience if it were to happen. It also shows what us humans have to be thankful for to have and what we do need to live. My favorite charecter in this book is Miranda, she’s very mindful and elliteral in this story, her traits really stuck out to me in this quote. “Vitamins,” Mom said. “Get lots and lots of vitamins. And Laxitives. Calcium. Vitamin D. This is so hard , trying to remember everything we might need.” “Or might not,” I said “Mom, I love you but I think this is crazy.” After her mom going a little crazy over buying everything. Miranda try’s to calm her mother down in the way she does. My favorite quote from the book is, “she doesn’t understand,” Megan said. “She’s a good woman, really she is, but she lacks my faith. I pray for her soul, just the way I do for yours.” “Megan,” I said, like I was trying to grab the friend I’d loved for years and bring her back to reality. “There are no more hot lunches. Half the time theres no electricity. I live five miles from school and gas cost nine dollars a gallon and we cant use the pool anymore.” I like this quote because It really relates to me. I, myself know a few people that don’t live like life happens once, and don’t take risks or do fun things time to time, sometimes I wish I could tell them off like Miranda did here.

If I was invisible four twenty-four hours, my day would be endless amounts of fun. First, without telling my parents, I would probably get out of the house because I wouldn’t spend the whole day inside my house. I would next get breakfast for free at any good restaurant. After eating I would get a ride on a bus to Anaheim to spend a free day at the Disneyland parks. Because of my invisibility I would most likely get free food, and any merchandise my own money cant buy. After those hours I would walk right on into the California hotel in Anaheim. I would try to ask someone to book me a room with my own money, but if that doesn’t work I would just get a room by myself. Of course I would spend my last hours of the day in the room, no!, I would go to any of the restaurants inside the hotel to get whatever I want. After that I would call my mom or dad on one of the telephones to tell them I was alright. I would also say that I wouldn’t be back home until tomorrow. In the last few hours I would just go back to my hotel room and sleep it off until the next day.
