Put your schedule on the inside of your locker door. Highlight the places where you CAN go to your locker between classes. Make other marks to show when you have time to visit the bathroom, and when you have less leeway than usual to travel between classes. You may already know this about your schedule, but writing it down helps cement it in your thinking.
Regarding email I received, and of my own experience visiting other people blog, I figure out a lot of people coming here may not really know who I am ;)
I often do not read blogs and only check pictures, then jumping from link too link... So, for those who read, here come some infos, on what I am / I have done / I am working on...
To illustrate this, here come some picture of my office, that I share with my wife in our nice France countryside home.

On a late autumn afternoon, the golden sunlight gently bathes Piata Unirii in Bucharest, creating a cinematic atmosphere. The cool breeze stirs the swirling leaves, adding to the romantic mood. In the heart of this scene, a confident, ambitious young woman walks through the square, blending elegance and determination.
She wears a beige Burberry trench coat, its classic cut perfectly tailored to her figure. The coat’s signature plaid lining subtly peeks out, complementing a soft gray wool dress and a scarf in an artistic reinterpretation of Burberry's iconic plaid. Her cognac leather heeled boots and cherry red gloves add sophistication, with the cobblestone streets reflecting the warm glow of streetlights.
Her hazel eyes, framed by chestnut brown waves, exude confidence, while her natural, slightly imperfect skin and symmetrical features highlight her unique beauty. The reflection of the streetlights in her eyes adds depth to her expression.
Behind her, Piata Unirii's mix of historical and modern buildings serves as the perfect backdrop for her purposeful stride. Captured with a Canon EOS R5 and an RF 85mm f/1.2L lens, the image captures every detail, from the light in her eyes to the soft glow of golden hour, creating a dreamy yet urban atmosphere.
She is not just a woman in Burberry—she is a symbol of modern Bucharest, confident and poised in the city’s vibrant energy.

Title: Quilted Butterfly
Faculty and organizer: C. Ann Kittredge
Dream Theme: Art for Life
Materials & techniques used: Quilted fabric
What is your art about? My life is quilting.
How can I make a difference?
In 2008, a group of educators and artists formed the International Fiber Collaborative (IFC) a non-profit organization with a mission to create deeper learning experiences through art, collaboration, and cross-curricular programming for individuals and their communities.
IFC’s current initiative, The Dream Rocket Project, started in 2009 has exhibited submissions in over 105 venues; in 2014 submissions will be connected side by side to wrap a 363’ Saturn V Moon Rocket replica at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL (48’ taller than the Statue of Liberty).
With every artwork received a student has had to ask; what is my dream for my future, and the future of my community and our world? How can students across our nation with many skills collaborate to make a difference? How can creativity and other subjects such as space, technology, science, and leadership inspire innovation? How can I make a difference?

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)

My friend Bill Westerman, along with his super kind wife Ilana, run this cool company in California called Create with Context;.
They work in helping other companies to improve, innovate and evolve in terms of technology according to people's specific needs.
They have worked with important clients such as Adobe, Yahoo, Amway, Panasonic, Ebay, IBM among others.
They ask me to illustrate their 2010 bussiness calendar. The topic, of course, people.
Different people=different aproach to technology.
So, ¡¡here are the images!!!!

Title: Shark
Teacher: Mrs. Erickson
Theme: The Extremes of Alien Life Forms
Materials and techniques: We used melted crayons to paint the picture. Then we crumpled up the crayon painting. We smeared on watered down paint as a fabric dye. We used an iron and newspaper to lift off all the crayon. It is called batik because it is dyed fabric and a wax resist.
Did you enjoy this project? Yes. This project was really fun.
About: A shark can survive by using its nose to smell things in water. Aliens would need a good sense of smell too to find things to eat.

Daily cremations take place along the sacred Bagmati River in front of the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. I definitely had mixed emotions regarding viewing cremation. I didn’t know what to expect or how I would feel, but I decided to enter the area and stay as long as I felt comfortable.
Walking toward the puffs of black smoke ascending from stone cremation platforms along the Bagmati River was very eerie at first, especially when I knew that the smoke was coming from bodies that were burning . . . and, not knowing what to expect, I thought I might see recognizable bodies on fire.
As I walked closer to that area I was concerned about breathing in the smoke and I was a bit afraid that I could be exposing myself to disease, but the more I saw, the more intrigued I became.
The preparation of the body for cremation along the Bagmati River is really beautiful and something to see. Family/friends come with marigolds to adorn the body and the area around the body. It was a ritualistic ceremony with lots of detail which of course I did not fully understand.
What I did understand was the love and compassion the family/friends demonstrated during the cremation ceremony. I was able to watch some of the preparation for a deceased man and was able to follow the procession to his cremation platform.
I was moved by what I saw. Looking at my pictures and remembering what I experienced I feel honored to have been with this man at such an important time. It was nice that he was accompanied by family and friends at the very end, and I’m sure the family/friends were honored to be there.
My father was cremated in 2005, but of course none of us were present during his cremation. After his death at home we knelt around him and prayed the Rosary. Then we sat around him and talked. In the morning, when people from the mortuary came to take him, everyone left the room but me. I helped put Dad in the bag and helped take him from the house. They let me do the final zip of the bag once he was in the mortuary vehicle. I thought of my dad while watching the cremation of the Nepalese man.
Pashupatinath Temple is Nepal’s most sacred Hindu shrine and one of the greatest Shiva sites. A translation for Shiva is “The Auspicious One” or “Great God”. Shiva is a popular Hindu deity.
This extensive Hindu precinct is a collection of temples raised over the centuries along the banks of the sacred Bagmati River and is included as one of the seven monument groups in UNESCO’s designation of Kathmandu Valley as a cultural heritage site.

Self-Portrait - 1935
Paul Cadmus (1904 - 1999)
In this self-portrait, Paul Cadmus continuously draws the viewer’s gaze to his face, creating a circular composition through the bent arm, curving coat lapel, and raised pencil. The emphasis on the pencil draws the eye to the crosshatched marks that combine to create the image. Though he often depicted his gay contemporaries and was unafraid of including gay themes in his work, Cadmus rejected the notion that his work indexed his sexuality. He believed his artistic self remained separate from his personal identity.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.
