back in school!

So today is the day we got back in school. I was really excited to see some of my friends again, and it's good to see that they're safe. I did actually miss school; I never really had anything to do at home. 


I'm not sure whether I'm looking forward to homework or not, but it's good to be out of the house again. I was literally living in my room! 


Anyway, I know this was a very short blog post, but it's good to be back. c:

entry- innovative flood solutions in Thailand!

[Again, another very late blog post. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again!]


Today, I read a news post about some creative ways people are fighting the current flooding problems in Thailand. I have to say that the most interesting one was the jet ski made mainly from a barrel, because it seems like it wouldn't work, but it does! I'm glad that despite the bad situation most of use are in, we're still able to find ways to bypass it.


If I was in the flood, I'm try to make some kind of raft [if I didn't have one nearby] out of something large [maybe the size of a medium dining table] that floats and some paddles [maybe they could be shovels?]. I'd also cover the sides with some light that keeps the water out. Maybe I could attach some plank to the side? I wouldn't really know, because I'm not the type of person to invent things, but if I was in a situation that includes flooding, I'd have to do something.


Innovation and resourcefulness comes from the amount of creativity you have and how quick-minded you are, because you have to think fast in situations like these. Being resourceful is a useful skill because you never know when you might need those skills!

.i am poem.

[I'm sorry this is extremely late! My computer's been having some internet problems, so I have to use my dad's laptop. c: I chose to write the 'I am' poem, because I thought it would fit well with how much I love painting and art. ]


I am artistic and curious
I wonder how art can freeze a beautiful picture
I hear the splashing water
I see the pink and yellow flowers
I want to paint it all
I am artistic and curious

I pretend that I can be as wispy and quiet as the trees
I feel each stroke of the brush
I touch the brush to the canvas
I worry that I'll make one mistake
I cry that it's not a perfect image
I am artistic and curious

I understand that I'll just try again
I say practice makes perfect
I dream I can someday make a perfect image
I try to accomplish that
I hope that someday I can paint that river
I am artistic and curious.
