Lately this project has been irritating me. I have so much work to do for school that I don't know what I am doing anymore. Now we have to get our presentation together to present in less than 15 days and I feel like my project isn't anywhere near finished. Honestly, to me, I think this whole thing was a waste of time. No offense. I don't think I am going to present because this whole thing was a fail. I mean, my mom plans to by me the stuff I need to make the dessert at the end of this post this weekend. I just really don't what to do this project anymore. I mean clearly nobody wants to anyway. Don't get me wrong, at first I thought this was going to be fun, but then it just got stressful. I mean, I have changed my project 3 times. I feel like this whole thing was rushed. But, I am going to finish this project anyway. At the end of all this though, on my own time, I am going to start my own blog, not for school, but for my own personal interests.
         This is the dessert I am fixing this weekend.



             So, I have decided that I am going to do the cooking project. I think this will be a better project than just singing. Plus, I know I can cook so yeah. Well, so far I have cooked Honey Garlic and Herb Chicken Wings with Strawberry Muffins and Peppered Rice. Then I cooked some Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate and Strawberry Icing. I plan to cook over break so I need to find some recipes. I downloaded this app and found some recipes. I can't wait to see how this goes.

 This is one of the recipes I am going to try to do. It is a Cookie Dough, Brownie Batter, and Oreos Dessert.

                My project looks like it is going to be a fail. I can't sing, I just can't sing. I have tried those voice exercises but they aren't helping. I want to change my project but I think it may be too late. I wan't to change my project to something that has to do with cooking. Over the weekend I got into some kind of cooking mood. I told my parents that I wanted to cook dinner Sunday night. I made Honey Garlic & Herb chicken wings with peppered rice and Strawberry Muffins made from scratch. Then on Monday I made vanilla cupcakes from scratch. I really want to change my 20 Time to this. Well, I'm stuck and at a loss.

         I realized something this week. I like to sing songs that are either:
                                        1. Older songs (None of the newest songs)
                                        2.  Songs that nobody has heard of

        I don't know why, but my voice fits better with those types of songs. I like to sing songs like:
                                      1. Helplessly- Tatiana Manaois
                                      2. Pretty Hurts- Beyoncé
                                      3. When I was your Man- Bruno Mars
                                      4. Build you up- Kim Taylor
                                      5. Human- Christina Perri
                                      6. Drift- Emily Osment

That is just a few of the many more. But I have been really leaning towards Helplessly. Pretty Hurts I have been practicing but I can't quite hit the notes right just yet. I know I have been saying I am going to post a recording of me singing, but I am nervous about that idea. If I decide to, I don't know which song to sing. Time to see which sing I am best at.

             Ok. I have to admit, I didn't really do much this week. I mean, I have been singing around the house and stuff, but I haven't been doing research or anything. I do have great news though. Since my voice has been improving pretty well, I have an idea. My best friend recently found out about a variety show that is supposed to be going on at school. It is basically a talent show. Oh, and by the way, this is the same friend that won the talent show with me in 8th grade. Anyways, since her and I can both sing pretty well, we are thinking about doing the talent show. We have some decisions to make, starting with if we should do it. If we do decide to do it, what song will we sing? We do have a song in mind, but we may or may not go with that song. So, if we do the talent show, wish us luck!

                 So I think I have decided that I am just going to focus on the singing project and not the makeup project. Don't get me wrong, I tried to do it, I just am going to need more time to do it than this project allows. So, now it's time to focus on the singing project. I have a few songs that I have practiced, and I might post a recording of me singing when I figure out how. I don't think my voice is quite ready yet though. I don't have much more to say except that it is time for me to start searching for songs to sing!

                   I'm back. Well, my week went really well. By well I mean time-wise. I had plenty of time to do my project with the makeup and the singing. I can't say I did to well though. I mean my singing has improved, but only with certain songs. Who knows, I might even post a recording of me singing on here one day. 

Like I said, I had plenty of time to do my makeup, but it didn't turn out to well. I was trying to start out doing the hard makeup styles, sort of like this one:

 

 

Now I realize that I just start out with something simple, sort of like this:

 

 

So, I guess it is time to start all over on this makeup thing. Time to start with the basics.
