Trip to go see Swan Lake

My favorite part of this trip would definitely have to be the community gardens. They were beautiful and so creative in a whole different way. When my group walked through one of the gardens that were open I was amazed about how much you can do with something so simple. My art teacher always told me that i could always use junk for pieces and i never realized how much you can do with everyday items until I saw the gardens. also the gardens really showed how much people cared about their community in order to put effort into making a plain piece of land so unique.
Also it seem very lucky that my group and Luke got to see one of the buildings before it was going to get renovated. Inside the building you can tell that it was pretty old and use to be a place where they were religious. What I didn't understand was why they were closing down the building except for the fact that it was filthy. Overall the experience to see the building was great and was different. 

be kind rewind

This week went by pretty fast and was lots of fun. The be kind rewind movies were more exciting then they sounded. When I talk to my friends they were telling e how they saw Jesus running down the halls. I could only imagine their reactions when they saw everyone in STAC running around. I definitely learned a lot from this  and how you have to really pace yourself. From all of the running around and filming (hoping you don't mess up) it was a learning experience. Also not to use so many places in different scenes when you only have one hour!

A very long week

The Prisoner this week was actually the clearer episode of The prisoner to understand but what confused me was why Number 6 did not confront anyone that he was the real Number 6, not the fraud. If I was in Number 6's place I definitely would not no what to do. If I had confronted Number 24 She might have been a spy and if I had confronted the fake Number 6 and Number 2 they would have brainwashed me (Number 6) again. Even though this episode is one of the clearer episodes of The Prisoner I can't say it is my favorite.
In the of the movie, To Sir, With Love was hard for me to catch on at first to what was going on because I do not usually watch old movies. Towards the end it was predictable that he would not take the job but what I thought the movie was gonna end like was that the students were gonna get mad that he was taking another job. parts of the ending was quite predictable while some weren't.

Best trip I have ever been on!

Since the beginning of my 14 years of life I have never been allowed during a field trip to go walk around the city alone with classmates. There are so many pictures taken and so many things to see that it would have definitely not have been as much fun if we had teachers tagging along our side (no offense Luke). It was absolutely the most fun I have had in a while. Being able to walk into a museum and know the artist there was very satisfying. Every where i turned there were a ton of people with accents which I have found to be remarkable. I tried guessing which accent was from where but towards the end I couldn't keep up at all! I was actually surprised to see Claudius Oldenburg work there because his work usually huge! I remember going to Whitey museum and seeing a 6 foot tall blow up ice pack. I consider his work to be amazing. I can definitely say I am looking forward to more STAC trips.
