I need to write more frequently

I've seen some IB students make their blog entries in sites like Tumblr. The fact that I didn't realize I could do that makes me uncomfortable but no one would look at the entries anyway so I think I'm fine.

*drumroll please*


THESE LAST 3 WEEKS ON "How CAS Takes Over My Life"

Creativity: I'm slowly getting the STEM project's main structure in my head (I'm a bit slow aren't I). I also joined a coding club so it might help me with my project at least. On the other hand, drawing is hard as ever, especially in a digital medium. But I think I'm seeing some improvements. At least I have a better understanding on what my weak points are (like shading, coloring, inking, body proportions, body part placements...). On the other other hand, my sister decided to add some animations to her entry for the school's Film Festival and it seems I'm going to help her. Making animations is a time consuming and extorsive activity that takes years to master, but I think it'll be fun. It won't be good quality but it'll be fun.

Activity: My exercises have gone full basketball-based this time around. I placed my exercises after each training session and found a good basketball strength training program on the internet that I'll be discussing with my teacher. Let's hope that it really turns out to be a good program. Sadly I wasn't really able to go all out because of my injuries on my knees and my feet (yeah, injuries again). But I think I getting better at both shooting and offensive skills.

Service: The teaching is going great. I also started helping a 9th grader with Chemistry, though it seems like I won't be able to go to any after school (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are full most of the time and Friday may be added on to this list later). 4th graders are doing a good job at the papers we give them, though I'm trying to make a little competition at the end of a class every week. Bookmobile is also going good. However, I think I need to get better at being a teaching or getting along with students. There's mostly a barrier between them and me that I create every singe time. Maybe the problem is in my communication skills instead. I guess I'll have to work on that.
