NO BULLYING

When I was doing current affairs this morning I read a story about a girl and a boy, the girl had been bullied almost to the death, and the boy had stood up to an attacker.
I thought that it wasn't fair how (even though they were pretty big incidents) bullying is only being highlighted now when it has been going on for years.
I think it needs to be stopped NOW before another incident like the one that occurred to the girl happens again.

Chess

Today I learnt a new strategy while playing chess with Jaimes.
It is basically trying to get the other person to move a pawn that's diagonal to their King, then use a Bishop, and with a couple of moves I win.
It only works if there is no other spaces near their King.

Indian ink

A few weeks ago I did the Indian ink workshop with Darryn.
It was really fun because we were painting cats. 
I only half finished mine, but it was still really cool. 
We had to do it using Indian Ink and Tempura paint.
We didn't come up with them right out of our heads, but we did still have to draw them ourselves.
We copied them from pictures and drew backgrounds for them.
I drew one that was lying down and for the background I had a white couch.
I think it is the best work of art I have ever done.
