Welcome

Benchmark Project

This blog post is going to be similar to my launch post, but I think that's okay.

So far, I have gotten into a group of friends who are willing to create a video of myself, Lindsey, Kelly, and Amara to blow shit up. Have we decided what we are going to blow up? Well, Lindsey has an idea. She likes to call this her "Destructive Therapy," we have been extremely stressed out, so I would like to have some excitement and fun doing this project. I copied and pasted Lindsey's videos/ideas she wants to do:

LEARNING [in a] BRAVE NEW WORLD

The discussions we had in class were very helpful because my table group were able to connect some significance and symbolism I wasn't able to get while I was reading. Although, the lectures were boring and I was almost falling asleep, they were helpful in a way of understanding what and why Huxley was writing this book. The essay was extremely difficult to write, but now that I have more information about Bernard I feel that I can go more in depth with my essay. Missing the four days of school definitely backed me up with the book, because I had to read the five chapters in a day and missed several of the discussion.

My Team

I was at science camp.. so I didn't get a chance to discuss with my table group! ):  But, while I was at camp.. I wrote journals about people who I look up to, people who I don't want to be like, the content they have, and the content they didn't have.

Launch

Lindsey, Amara, Kelly, and I wanted to do a series of exploding ... stuff.
Our idea is based off of the level of stress that we have experienced through out high school. Many advanced placement classes have made Lindsey and I guess myself insane. This senior project will be about exploding household goods, along with few scientific experiment, possibly constructing a slingshot. We are still planning what to do, but more information can be found here.
