For the last week, this week, and the next few weeks in Language Arts we are/have been doing poems. They have been pretty difficult for me because, outside of RPs, I have close to no creativity. And most of the poems have to be about myself, which I usually keep to myself. Now we are doing "Where I'm From" poems. I'm getting most of it done, but I am at a complete blank for the rest of it. Also, we have to do an essay on our book circle groups, which I'm also stuck on.

In Japanese, we have finished with katakana. That means that I can read anything in Japanese (save for kanji). I may not be able to comprehend it, though.
Next week, both beginning Japanese classes are going to Seattle for a field trip. I can't wait. It means that I will be missing a whole day's worth of school, though I'm sure I could easily make it up.

In drawing, I had to draw different objects... in under a minute... some in 30 seconds... and one was in 15 seconds. To non-artists out there, it may seem to be a bit much (which the whole class thought at first). Though, we used a technique called "gesture drawing," where not all of the details are drawn, but more of the generally shapes and shades. I became used to it after a while.

I also have some opinions about the way the admins are running the storyline. For one thing, I am ecstatic that the aliens are gone. The storyline was uninteresting when the aliens arrived. I hope that they are going to reintroduce the Von Helson sisters, or at least another rival for Gambino (whom is human).

I realize that no one will probably read this whole post. meh.
