Hey y'all!
Yesterday I had my Cell Model Project due in my Biology lab. We've had since the third week in November to start it, and we could make it with whatever we wanted. A lot of people did Styrofoam, boxes, modeling clay, the usual. There were also several people who made cakes. I decided to do the impossible-- Jell-O! :]] The reason why this is NEARLY impossible is because Jell-O doesn't last very long, and it's not very forgiving. You make a wrong cut, and there's no way to fix it. So the day before SHEEP (Wednesday) I had to spend about two hours making my project. I was really hoping and praying that it would turn out right, because if it didn't then there was no "Plan B." Luckily, it worked out perfectly! Check out the picture:
Ain't she a beauty? The problem is, by the time I got to SHEEP, the green around the edges had soaked into the Jell-O. It looked pretty messy, but it was still pretty. The teacher really loved it, but somehow I managed to overlook on the grading sheet the part that said "Cell Parts Description- 20 points." Are you serious? So when I got home I immediately wrote one out and emailed it to her. She said she was adding on to my grade for it, praise the Lord! I almost died of a heart attack. :[[
Drama is starting TONIGHT! Yes, I said TONIGHT! I am so so so so so so SO happy! I'm excited and nervous and fluttery and eager! Why can't I stop using exclamation marks!!! Now you can see how much I love drama! I love acting, I love rehearsing, and I love costumes. But there's one thing I don't love-- performing. I have awful stage fright that I'm trying to work with. You know, I don't think it's even stage fright. I have this obsession with being perfect, and I'm always afraid that I'm not. Therefore, making me worried on stage (or even just rehearsing). I'm so vain, I can't help but think that all the people are looking at me and expecting me to be perfect. *sigh*
