The Story of Stuff

At our school every year we have a week called Global Week, where we discuss issues around the world, and celebrate different cultures. Today we had a speaker named Annie Leonard, who gave an amazing talk. Here is what she's doing

Winter Break

Winter Break is amazing! The relaxation, the utter lack of tests. Wonderful!! I have been to some GREAT places as well, here are some photos.

First of all, here are some Hanukkah photos. They were taken in early December, so not quite during winter break.

                                     

Then there are the photos from California Academy of Sciences.

They had a reindeer exhibit. Did you know that reindeer are domesticated caribou?

Then there was the rainforest, and I got two good close ups of butterflies.

Another butterfly! This time she's munching on an orange.

A brilliant red frog.

Surprisingly this photo came out even through glass!

A cozy corner of moss and such.

Holidays!

Can't wait until Winter Break! Yay! All tests are done. Yay! Yay! Two weeks of sleep. Yay!

Have a happy holidays! And may you collect much loot and other sweets.
