20% Project: Week 4

This week I cut out some flower pictures. I didn’t have much time because we only had thirty minutes. I also got interviewed about the 20% Project, Which took some time. This weeks successes were cutting out a page and a half of flower pictures, which when I cut out all of them are going to be glued to my tri-fold. My struggles were trying to cut the flowers as best I can, trying not to cut off too much but also trying not to leave any white paper. I was also sorta nervous while being interviewed for obvious reasons. In regards of adjustments, I didn’t really need to do any since I knew what I was supposed to do.

20% Project – Week 3

This week I finished collecting information for Oleander, Foxglove, and Deadly Nightshade. Here’s three interesting facts about Oleander. In Galveston Texas, theres an Oleander festival. Oleander was a very popular ornamental shrub in Roman peristyle gardens. Oleander is the national flower of Hiroshima, because it was the first flower that bloomed after it got nuked. This week went well. I found out many facts, and I should be able to start decorating the tri-fold and making life size paper replicas. This week went really great, it needed no adjustments and I had no failures.

Good Neighbor

This weeks writing prompt that I’ve chosen is how to be a good neighbor. One way you can be a good neighbor is by keeping the noise below a high level. Another way you can be a good neighbor is by being respectful of their property. Don’t cross into it without permission or a valid reason, because it’s just rude. One more way you can be a good neighbor is, if you want to, go the extra mile for them. By that I mean give them baked goods sometimes or help them with work. The last one is optional because you have absolutely no obligation to do that for your neighbor, just would be a kind thing to do. If you want to actually do this and you’re having a problem deciding what, find a brownie recipe. Most people like brownies.

20% Project, Week 2: Foxglove

Hello, my name is Rebecca. This blog is being make on 4/12/2024. This week I managed to accomplish picking 3 flowers to start working on. The flowers I chose are Foxglove, Oleander, and Deadly Nightshade. I also managed to get good information on Foxglove and Deadly Nightshade, and please identify plants before touching them no matter how pretty because I found out touching either of these without gloves can give you severe poisoning. This week went really well, I got a lot of information. Adjustments I made was pushing back the fake paper models due to missing week one and forgetting to buy the paper for them and pushing forward research, which is going really well. heres three fun facts about the Deadly Nightshade. It’s commonly used to symbolize danger and betrayal. This plant was used quite frequently to poison enemies, with two Roman emperors dying from it. Deadly Nightshade is also used in some anesthetics. I left off researching Foxglove, and after finding a few more facts about it ill be moving on to Oleander or paper models.

Book Recommendation???

I’m just going to be honest here, I have no idea what to write because of the prompt being freewrite. So this is just going to be random things and ill name it whatever fits it best by the end. You should check out the book series Heavens Official Blessing by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu if you like slow burn romance, the confession doesn’t even happen until book five of eight and I didn’t even realize it was a confession at first. Although a warning, there is quite a bit of angst (Sad stuff) when it comes to flashbacks, and I recommend reading the book series before entering any part of the fandom because people do not give spoiler warnings and I got spoiled two major plot twists by doing that. If you finish reading that and you like it, you should try reading one of their other books after. They have two other books which English names are Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and The Scum Villains Self-saving System. I’ve only completely read Heavens Officials Blessing though. I am, however, on book four of five of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and I’m liking it so far. The plot line is pretty good, and even though I like the plot line of Heavens Officials Blessing better, that doesn’t take away from the quality of this book series. Anyways, on to typing about another random thing. Qiqi and Yao Yao friendship is so cute, both are kinda old but still look and kind of act like small children. It’s such a wholesome friendship and I love it so much. Yao Yao being related to the Adeptus in some way and Qiqi being a zombie also means they can be friends for a long time, which is a heartwarming thought.

If I Could Invite Anyone To Dinner

If I could invite any three people to dinner, fictional or dead, real or alive, I would invite my mom, my dad, and one of my brothers depending on what’s for dinner. I wouldn’t invite any fictional characters because not only would the invite be declined, I don’t know them. I wouldn’t invite anyone dead because I don’t want to disrupt the dead. I would invite my mom because, well, she’s my mom and I love her a lot. wouldn’t I? I would invite my dad for the same reason as my mom, plus he can be funny if an opportunity arises. I would invite my brother Jack if we were having something he liked, because, well, he’s my brother. Just like my mom, why wouldn’t I? If we were having something Andrew likes, I would invite him for the exact same reason. He’s my brother and I love and care for him. If we were having something both my brothers like, I’d probably do a coin flip. That is the easiest way to decide, after all.
