HOLY SHOOT, Y'ALL!!! I KNOW THAT THIS PROBABLY DOESN'T INTEREST YOU AT ALL, BUT I'M SO PROUD OF THIS THAT I GOTTA SHARE IT!!!
I GOT FULL MARKS ON A PROJECT THAT I WAS INCREDIBLY NERVOUS ABOUT!!!!!
Okay, so for this project, you gotta read a book and make a map with key elements about the characters, emotions, events, and places. You also had to make a writing thing explaining why you chose 5(out of 11) of those texts. I started writing the writing thing a week before it was due(we had 1 1/2 months to read the book and do the rest of the project) and made the map the night before we had to give it to my teacher. I remembered her telling us it should be creative, so I went with my gut instinct and made my map into an origami bird bc the main character's love interest gave him that, and he used it as a bookmark.
When I came into class, the teacher was in a bad mood (she's usually very sweet) and scolded a student for having his writing text crumpled. I was scared as heck because my map was crumpled. After all, it was an origami.
When it was my turn, the teacher called my name. I stood up and took my origami(I didn't know we had to print the text, but she said it was fine). I slowly approached her. Before she could say anything, I quickly started explaining why I made the map and origami, but she cut me off saying she knew why. She had the biggest f-ing smile on her face and I was so happy!
So ya, that's about it. I just got the results back, and I'm delighted! :)
