9/3/03    WOW

There were many things that made me go wow at the art museum.  The art was really remarkable.  All of the artwork had to have been real time consuming.  I thought that there were some painting that were really amazing.  The skill that it must take to do that is really incredible.  As we went by all of the pieces of work I really wondered how long it had to have taken them, what it looked like as they were doing it and how they got the ideas to do that exact painting.   

The Color of My Day

I am feeling yellow like a very young fellow

Feeling good like I know I should

It is like I’m back in the hood

The sun is shining and I’m not whining

The Sooner’s are still on fire

I don’t think they will ever expire

They can’t be beat

Even thought they are under the heat

The Bears are bad

Which is really sad

But I’m not mad

Since I feel yellow today

Today we are just working on all of our stories trying to revise them and everything.  It is really nice having the computer to do some of the homework on but sometimes it can really be a hassle. It has been a hard week and I am glad that it is finally over.  I am ready for the weekend.

Today I have been working on my folktale revising and getting it perfect.  This week we have started the African Safari Project for our cyber classes.  It has been exhausting and this weekend is going to be great.  I am definitely ready to eat a whole bunch this weekend to after weight in Saturday.

We have been working on our African Safari Projects all week.  I am really learning a lot about Africa that I have never knew before.  It is a really unique country and very interesting.  I wrote about Tahar ben Jalloun, a modern African author.  I also started making a mask and wrote how art in Africa changes their life and how it is also a real big part in their life.

Being a cyber sophomore has really been a great experience for me.  I really love all of the technology we use and how we can do Geography, Sophomore Comp. and Biology all on our computers.  I really think that I am lucky to have this opportunity to use these laptops and will definitely remember how fun my sophomore year was using these laptops.  The trip to the Lewis and Clark Visitors Center was also a highlight of the year.  I think that we should all have these throughout the school and it was also a great idea for bigger and better things in the Yankton School District.

This week we were getting started on the book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull.  We just started it like Tuesday and did questions on it Thursday.  This was the week of the new semester, so we are starting new things.

We have finally finished the book.  It really has a good meaning to it and is also really important to life.  The book was really good and makes life so important.
