        This weekend I helped people powerwash their driveways. My dad and two of my neighbors really needed their driveways washed. My dad taught me how to set up the powerwasher and how it works, so I now know how to do that. Then on Saturday morning, I worked on power washing my dad's driveway. I tried out the different settings on the powerwasher to see which of them worked best. I started off with the 15 cm spetting, which was very good at getting all the dirt off. I then tried the 45 cm spetting which also worked at getting the dirt off, however, it was not as good as the 15 cm setting. I decided to use the 15 cm setting because it got more of the dirt out, so I would get a better end result. Using the powerwasher was kind of difficult because it takes some getting used to at first. After the first few minutes, I did get used to it and the rest of the driveway was relatively easy to do. On Saturday afternoon I started working on my neighbor's driveway. I think that I completed their driveway a lot quicker because I was more used to using the powerwasher. It was a lot hotter in the afternoon though so it felt like it took longer to finish. Then I power washed my second neighbor's driveway on Sunday morning. Overall, I definitely learned that power washing driveways is harder than I expected, however, I did learn how to use a powerwasher so I am grateful for the experience.

Yesterday, my high school had our Lunar New Year celebration. For the past three years, I have been organizing the celebrations. This year, the teacher who supervises my planning wanted to have our celebration with the middle school, so we can get more students involved. I thought this was a great idea, but I was at first worried about how we would accommodate a lot more people in our activities, as we would be going from about 110 people to 180. This meant that I had to purchase a lot more materials for each activity so that all students and faculty could get participate. We also wanted to make sure we all were staying together and really integrating middle school and high school. For Lunar New Year, we always provide lunch, so I thought it would be good to serve food in the middle school, then require that everyone eats in the high school or on the quad. This way, we were all staying together instead of separating into our building. I think that this worked well to keep us all togeth...

Recently, I and the other presidents of the prom committee have been working to finalize all of the plans for prom. I am inc charge of community roll-out, which means that I organize how we present the theme to the rest of the school. I gathered a small group of about 10 students to work on how to present the theme at our school's community meeting. The theme for our prom is Bridgerton, which is a show on Netflix. At the beginning of the show the Queen picks a diamond of the season, so we thought it would be cool to do a prom theme of the season. We had people dress up in different themes like a cowboy, disco, Rihanna Super Bowl halftime performance, college, and Disney. I and a person I am training to take my role next year created a script for the skit that we would do, as well as set up all of the music. We then went over the full script with everyone and made edits and adjustments according. During the community meeting, we presented the skit and everyone seemed to love it. Peo...

Today, I decided to practice doing my makeup. I recently got a new skin tint and primer, so I wanted to test out my makeup with it and practice doing some eyeshadow looks. My makeup skills are not very strong because I only wear it sometimes, and when I do I usually have a friend help me, mainly with my eyes. I started with my base, so primer first, then I used the skin tint. I really liked how they looked and applying them was really easy. I think went on to contour my cheeks and jawline. I felt like I actually did a good job with contour this time because I usually don't put enough and don't blend it well, but this time it looked well blended. I also tried a new blush, which I think looked okay. I generally don't really like how the blush looks on my face, but I think that the blush color I got was pretty nice. After doing the base of my face, I went to work on doing eye makeup. I decided that I wanted to try two different looks. The first I did was an eyeliner look. I us...
