    So Mrs G had an idea for a a fundraiser that would benefit the WISE program. She wanted to know if we wanted to put on a WISE night for the community that featured all of the WISE student's work. My class didn't really care. I think that we wanted a night but none of us wanted to put in the time needed to pull off an event like this. We were then made to run around K building to wake up. After we all filed back into class we were handed our self assessment. This is due on Friday as that is when the marking period ends. Also as an aside, I am going to try to write every day this week. It might not work because I have rehearsal almost every day but I am going to try.

    Then we started show and tell. Miriam went first and talked a little about the tape that is used in athletic training, Paul went second and showed us a music theory book that not many of us understood. Alexi then shared his journal in which he jots ideas and expands, David brought a book that explored the relationship between eastern mysticism and physics. Now I have no knowledge about physics what so ever but David's WISE project sounded really cool! I don't normally focus on philosophy a lot, but this sounded intriguing. Erin brought in some sketches that are going into her children's book, they looked amazing. I wish I could draw that well! Marley then showed us some of her favorite wire wrapping magazines, Gabe brought his mouth piece to his saxophone and played a few notes for us. Marcel brought his journal that he uses for notes and research, his fact of the day was that one in every two and a half people will die of heart disease. That is so scary! That was about it for class.
