Last weekend we had a four-day weekend, which meant that I had an extra day before I started school after coming back from new york. On that Monday I decided to continue a project that I started working on a while ago and just put off completing. The project is a painted collage of cartoon characters, and I decided to make it SpongeBob-themed, as that was one of my favorite shows growing up. I had a 12" x 12" canvas that I was working on and made 16 squares on it, which are all 3" x 3." I had started some of the painting and sketching but didn't complete all of it. I started off by painting one of the squares that I already had a sketch on, which was of the character plankton. Before I start painting I tape a border around the square so that I don't accidentally paint on another square. It was really nice to paint for pleasure again, and since it was so small it only took me about 15 minutes to paint. It was also really satisfying to pull off the tape and see the painting in a neat square. While the Plankton section was drying I then sketched the box that was dedicated to the Bikini Bottom Welcome sign. I looked up a picture of the sign that I thought looked the best and sketched that drawing onto the canvas. I then painted the Jellyfish and Squidward sections. While doing this I remembered why this project did take me too long to get back to. It was really time-consuming and it can be hard to paint things that are really small, especially since I like my painting to be really neat and orderly. However, I persevered and was able to complete 3 paintings and one sketch and I plan to continue this project this weekend.

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...
