Expirement
I love to bake and have loved to bake with my mom and grandma for a long time. This weekend I decided to do an experiment and try to bake tie-die cupcakes. It was a success and it turned out great, they tasted amazing and I made my own butter cream icing as well! As the year is getting stressful I find that baking is a good way to give myself a break and distract myself. If you are going to try to bake tie-die cupcakes I would recommend it because they are really fun to make!
7 Ways Stress Affects Your Body
Since it is exam time for me I thought it would be interesting to learn about how stress affects your body, and the affects on chronic stress on your body. Below is a list of different ways stress can affect you body, I think this ties in with my hope to be a nurse in the future because it regards health care.
7 Ways Stress Affects Your Body:
1. Fight of Flight
2. Cravings
3. Fat Storage
4. Heart
5.Insomnia
6. Headaches
7. Memory
These all have negative affects on your body, and over time they can be detrimental to your health. So when you think you are getting too stresed out, take a breather and remember all of the harmful things it is doing to your body.

New Project
We just started our final project in creative writing, and this is the most exciting project yet! It has to do with the show 'The Buried Life' which is about 4 men who write a bucket list. This got me thinking of all of the things I want to do before I die. I'm really looking forward to working on this project, and I believe this is the project that I will get the most creative with! More to come on this project

Weekly Response #6
Reading Response:
Mercy (end) my 1st Jodi Picoult book. It was amazing, and emotional journey and made me cry. It was a very sad book @Cre8tiveHavoc #WR6
I'm starting to read the book Divergent now, so far really interesting, I'm drawn in! I'm questioning why she has switched to the Dauntless Faction! I hope my question will be answered soon #WR6
Writing Response:
I am done with the rough draft of my story, all I have to do is add the mini lessons that we learn in the up coming days, I have added the VAKS'ing elements and still have to add some personal details about the characters. I already have 36 tweets completed already so I am well over the minimum number. I will still have to add a few more tweets as we learn more writing variables. The type of Twitter fiction I chose to write was an extended story that follows one boys high school mistake. I chose the extended story because I enjoy to give a lot of details when I write so I thought that was a more natural fit for me to chose the extended story. From the "to do" list I still have to add some character development, and get 3 more original photos. Other than that I have dialogue, and a "so what", as well as the VAKS'ing variables. I have two images that I know I will use, but I am still stuck finding 3 more photos! I really like the theme of my story, and what I have so far. I really like how it has all come together, I am just worried about the deadline now. Although I really enjoy what I have written so far I don't know if it is good enough. What still needs work for me is the character development, and the photos to go along with the tweets. I am really enjoying this writing project and I think it is coming along really well. This is probably my favourite writing task in this class so far! The only question I have is how to develop the character better. I hope to finish this really soon, and after this response I will continue to edit it and revise the old drafts.

Twitter Fiction Preview!
This is just a little glimpse of one of the characters in my very short story (#vss) and a part of my twitter fiction project for creative writing. This is a drawing of inside the mind of the main character, Chris. I'm very excited about this project and I love what I have done already.
Exam time!
Although my exams are a month away, I can't help but start prepping now. People may call me crazy, but it needs to be done! Every exam matters, it's not the must fun Sunday in the world but it will be alright!
