The Final Work- Maiko Project ...first draft

 Although I already started drawing my final work, I decided to start it again. I couldn't enjoy drawing the previous one, and since I have to put so much effort and time on the final work, I want to do something that I can be interested in. Therefore I started drawing comletely different work.

 This is just a raugh sketch, so I can have a general consept of the work. (1 min)

A draft

I always prefere to star with a face.

  Next time, I will draw the Kimono.
Sorry for the bad quality of the images. I will upload better photos as soon as I will get my camera back from my brother.

Activity

 I did not record anything for my activities, though I continue doing the exercises. This is only because of my bad organization skill and I have to improve on it. As I continued this activity for 2 months, I realized that doing them every day, as I initially planned, is just impossible. So I decided to do them three times a week. However, I increased the amount of excises. For example, I doubled the amount of push-up and sit-up and back extension.

 I am very glad that I improved my skill and now, I can manage to do even more amount of exercises. And I lost 3kg in 2 month. However as you can see, I missed 4 days in total in March. I am aware of my energy and I know that sometimes, I am too tired to any physical work after school. But 4 days seem to be too often for me. So next month, I hope that I will be able to force myself and make these exercises part of my daily routine.

Helping in church

04/04

My mother is a very religious person.  And since I’m going to Japan on Friday, she said that I must go to the church and pray for a safe flight. And I thought that I can take this opportunity and do a little help there. As always, I cleaned up the candelabrums and icons. Since I got used to this task, I could to work efficiently in short time. I had 30 minutes left, because I managed to finish the task quickly. So I decided to swab the floor. I was glad that I didn’t wait for other people to tell me what to do, but I found the job to do by myself and did not waste the time. I think I organized my time very well.

 When I was about to leave the church, my mother said that the church is going to participate in a bazaar for charity in next month, so I can come and help there. I think that would be a very good opportunity for me to try something new. If I will success to organize my schedule really carefully, I will defiantly go there and help as much as possible.

Helping in the church 3

2nd of February

 This time, I invited my friend to join my service in the church. I did the same task-cleaning up the candelabrums and icons- like last time. Since we did together and I got used to this task, we could work efficiently in really short time. It took only an hour and half to finish cleaning up.
 I was very glad that I could share this culture and chance with my friend and I hope we can help there again soon.

2013 CAS Plan

 Creativity

 I am going to draw my final work for 'Maiko San' which would be an assembly of my all ideas and techniques that have been developed during the whole project.
 As soon as I'll finish the project, I want move on to new one. I have not come up with ideas, but I hope it would be something related to Russia and its culture.

 Activity
 

 As I spend most of my free time available for CAS on service and creativity, I will just continue the everyday exercises for activity. I've been gradually increasing the amount of exercises I do which shows my strength being improved over time. I want to challenge some new exercises and rearrange the details of the whole exercises.

 Service
 Since my mother offered to me to help in the church, I would like to work there as often as possible. Unfortunately, I don’t have really much time available. So my target would be to help there at least twice a month. I also hope to improve my Russian skill and learn Russian culture through the service.

Helping in the church 2 - Christmas Service.

(06.12.12)

 Today I helped in the church to prepare for the Christmas Service which is going to be held in the midnight. I cleaned up the candelabrums and icons. I also swabbed the floor and helped to cook for the Christmas dinner. It took about 3 hours to finish all these tasks.
 I am not sure about when I'll be able to help there again since the school will start soon, but I hope it'll be within 2 weeks :)
