Monday

So every day I am learning something new about winter with snow. So I didn't use my mom's car on Sunday and today in the morning I couldn't open any of the doors. I had to literally go through the back hutch door in order to turn on the car. I was then able to open one of the back doors. I went back in to finish getting ready and figured the car would warm up and the doors would open but they did not. I had to get in and out of the car through the back door the whole day until about 4 in the afternoon. My sister said that even if I don't use the car I should turn it on because the doors can freeze together. What kind of nonsense is this. Oh well you learn something new every day.

Well today wasn't too bad because we had a minimum day because the seniors were presenting their projects. They had to create something or present something that they were interested in. We did something like this in Century high. The difference is that the students over there had to present projects and work that they had done all of their 4 years of high school and here they had to come up with something like learning to Tango, or build a bow, and get a mentor. They only have 1 trimester to make their proposal and learn the new skill. I think it is a pretty good idea because it makes them learn something new if they make the right choice. Unfortunately they have to get everything done in 3 months.

The 3 students that made their presentations today did a good job. One girl got really nervous the other 2 got nervous but not as much. One student's project was to learn to Tango and he did a Tango presentation at the end of his presentation. The other female student made a presentation on Cosmetology, and the other one made a presentation on the women of Juarez. These students also made their presentations in Spanish. The two girls tried switching back and forth in Spanish and English but they did well. It was pretty interesting seeing how they learn a new skill.
