Overall this week was great. I spent a couple days with a long-lost friend, I got my priorities in check, and I'm happy. What more could I ask for? We've mostly just continued reading our novels, as well as work on our comprehension skills. I personally don't see what the end result is going to be, which makes it harder to focus, but I'm trying to be trusting and simply go with the flow of things. I do think it'd make the projects a bit easier if I knew the purpose to the things we're currently doing in class, however. But perhaps I'm the only one who feels that way. Outside of school things are...eh? They're fine. I guess I can confidently say that I'm well settled into the living-on-your-own lifestyle. I've finally allowed myself to enjoy the new experiences instead of dwell on potential mistakes, and so that in itself is pretty freeing. This week I've also been really thinking about my (our?) senior project. I had the idea to do a coexistence mural for it, and I invited my best friend of five years to help me with it. He has amazing artistic abilities that compliment mine wonderfully, so I have no doubt that we could get it done and be very content with it. However, I was slightly discouraged when Mr. Shoenborn advised us against it. Well, correction. He didn't actually say "hey, that's not a good idea,' but that's just kinda how I felt about it. It made me doubt the project altogether, despite my original excitement. Would we be able to get it done on time? Will we even get approval for it? It would be a big risk considering senior projects count for a large portion of your grade, and Destry's grade especially would be endangered because the project would have to stretch through two trimesters. I also worry that if it doesn't turn out well enough I won't finish out with the straight A's that I've been working my ass off to get. Sigh. I suppose I'll take this final weekend to consider it and get some outside opinions.
