Round the World

Attached is a picture of some of the things my family has collected from around the world. The camel and the statue of a man holding a sheep across his shoulders are from Israel, the camel actually belongs to me. The abacus is from Russia and the brown thing behind that contains six hand carved coasters from Africa. Mainly, the camel is my favorite because my dad brought that home to me when I was about five years old and right now I am saving to visit Israel with my dad this summer.

Spring Break

Well, my spring break was very long, yet when I came to school it seemed like it had only been a weekend, probably because I didn't have time to relax. Seen as this is my first year at this school I did not already have my project planed therefore, I had less time to work on it. After I finally figured out what I was going to do and who I would ask my mentor to be it was nearly the second semester. So to get back to the point, this spring break was pretty much spent on my project. Of coarse I also had to work on my portfolio, senior research paper, normal homework, and study for the ACT...which is Saturday the 9th...Despite all of the effort I put into it however, I wasn't able to get near as much done as I was planning on, so, as you may imagine, my spring break was actually quite stressful. Thankfully, I was able to end it with a haircut. I think this picture is a pretty good summary of my spring break.
