As I am nearing the end of the school year, the seniors will be graduating soon. More, specifically next week. One of my school's traditions is to make stoles for the seniors. People will volunteer to paint and draw stuff that represents the senior they are making the stole for. I volunteered to do 3 stoles, but I did not realize how much time it would take. I did the first stole and I think it took me about 6 hours to complete. I am very much a perfectionist and wanted it to be perfect and very clean looking, so I spent a lot of time doing that. I also painted everything which I think made it harder. I was getting very stressed about the other two stoles because I had other school work to do as well. I asked one of my friends if she could help me do half of one of the stoles. She sketched out everything that I wanted to include in the stole. I was super grateful for this as some of the drawings on there were a little more complicated. When it came time to paint the last two stoles I asked my sister to help me to paint. She painted one stole, and I painted the other and did some clean-up on the one she worked on. It took us about 6 hours to do but we got it done. I was so thankful that she helped me because I did not know how I was going to get both stoles done and the rest of my homework. I am really proud of how the three stoles turned out. I really enjoy painting so I did like the process of making the stoles because I haven't found time to paint for pleasure. I also really like making stoles because I get to be creative in the composition of it and it is very satisfying when it comes our really nice. Painting the last two stoles with my sister was also a great bonding time for us because we haven't spent as much time together due to our busy schedules.

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...
