 Over the last few days, I've been working on and off on a comic book! I'm not totally sure about the plot yet, but I've made a bunch of different drawings, and I have a lot of different ideas. I'm calling it Repair Girl, and it's the story of a construction worker who's also a superhero. However, she's not aligned with any of the other heroes or villains of the story, because she hates how they destroy the city every day with their battles. However, the destruction that those battles cause is also what keeps her construction form in business, so she's kind of conflicted about it. I think it's a pretty interesting idea, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to develop it further. I've also created ideas for some of the other characters that appear in the story, the only thing I really need to do is start. Along with that, I've decided that I'm going to try my best to not worry about how the art looks. Normally I worry a lot about that, and am kind of a perfectionist, but I think I'll have a lot more fun with it if I don't care about how it looks.

 With the Christmas season over I've been reflecting a lot on the year, and also what I want to do for next year. That's why I've decided to start my new year's resolution early and get back to exercising. I had a personal trainer for a while, but currently, I don't feel safe going to the gym with other people around, so I'll be doing this on my own. I've been running consistently since early this summer, but I feel like there's more I can do to be in shape. So starting when I get back from my grandma's house, I'm going to do the following workout routine.  100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a half-mile run. I want to do this at least two or three times a week to keep myself in shape, and to supplement the somewhat minimal physical activity I've been getting lately. I'm hoping that this will make me feel better, and become more active in general.  Learning outcome 3: I've planned out this workout routine for when I get back fr...

    For this blog, I've been working heavily on the creativity part of CAS. I have completed one painting, and am currently working on a second one. Both pieces have been a way for me to experiment with the fact that I have limited colors to work with, but I think they're very interesting. The first painting I made was done using exclusively shades of black and grey, and the one I'm currently working on is exclusively black and white.      I decided to make these paintings because I needed more works for my senior art show, and I didn't want to do a drawing like I have for most of my other works. For one of them, I actually have a sizeable canvas, and I can't wait to get all of it done and filled out.     I would say that this falls under learning outcome 5, showing perseverance and commitment. This is because I have been working on my senior art show for over six months now, and am committed to completing it.

For the last two weeks, I had been on the Spain trip J-term. The trip was amazing, and I had a great time exploring both Spain and Barcelona. In Barcelona, my favorite place that we went to was the Sagrada Familia. The building was gigantic and it was incredibly detailed and beautiful. If I were to revisit Barcelona I would definitely go there again. In Spain, my favorite place that we went to was the Reina Sofia museum, which had lots of art from Picasso and Dali. My favorite work in the museum was Guernica, because it was enormous and very powerful. The trip was very fun, but it had some challenges. The main challenge was of course speaking Spanish to a lot of people on the trip. However, I feel like my Spanish has improved in all aspects, especially in speaking and listening. I would say that there was a lot of Learning Outcome 2 on the trip, where I overcame my difficulties and learned from them.
