This week we worked on our independent projects and we also did a fier lab with Andrew burning different stuff in the dark. We also went to a gallery down in liberty station with a bunch of glass and metal printings of photography and looked around there. In humanities we wrote about s place that has an effect on us. Humanities"Think of a place that has an affect on you...tell us about it"Off in a corner looking over Azria vista lies a place called Sunset cliffs. Where it has rocks upon rocks looking over the sea and the tide pools. Having hidden caves carved out of centuries of rain and wind. Scratchy bushes are along the paths and the occasional tumbleweed will roll by with the sea breeze. Trees will ach over the sides with some dead and some thriving. Shallow canals house sea snails in there hard shells avoiding danger. Sea animals who wait for small fish to come so they may have their next meal but instead are met with a finger from a curious human above. Ol concert, narrow stairs are in the corner leading down tourist, locals and surfers downs to the beach, Within the caves collage kids party throughout the night spray painting the walls and having fiers. The ground littered with beer bottles from the nights before. The smell of various narcotics fill the hidden places of Sunset cliffs. Sunset cliffs though to a young girl is a place of happiness where she could not worry about anything else except finding the swing hidden in the tree dome and watching the sunset in the trees. Sunset Cliffs to me was an escape from real life. As a kid I would only see one parent at a time most of the time because my dad worked during the weekdays and my mom stayed home with us taking us to school and then later on even homeschooling us. Then on weekends my mom worked as a waitress then later a bartender and we were left with my dad. So we were left inside a lot of the time but on the weekends my dad would sometimes take me and my sister to sunset cliffs and there wa this swing there that we always played on and just it was a place where I could be myself and not worry about doing chores or deal with my sister. Just a place where I could find inner peace. For awhile we didn't go though because my parents started working on houses over the weekends and I stayed home with my sister doing chores and watching shows. Not having very much human contact. But then one day we went back for my sister's birthday and we were going to go onto the swing and but the whole tree dome was torn down due to college kids partying there to much. After we discovered that it wasn't necessarily that even that sparked it but that was the beginning of my childhood ending and me growing up beagin. Nothing bad about growing up it's just nerve racking when something that was kind of a highlight of you growing up gets destroyed. ChemistryI stated doing research on galaxies for my independent project and I am going to order watercolors and start creating the posters.
