     Hi pals! It's been three days since I've blogged. It's the fourth day of me being in the hospital. How am I doing? Not great!      I thought the title of this blog was funny, considering the way I injured myself. I basically fell from six feet in the air. Now, that doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me, it really matters how you fall (or what you fall on). Anyway, I've been seen by probably a million doctors, and they are still planning to keep me in the hospital for the rest of the week.      This has been a major setback to our plans, and I have been feeling so awful for it. I mean, obviously it's not my fault that I had a major injury, but I still feel really bad that this is affecting my groupmates. To help, I've been in constant communication with my teachers about everything that's been happening and how I can help from afar. My plan is, considering I'm constantly watching movies and TV right now, to look at the way the scenes are...

Hi Pals! I am back at it with the production blogs! But BOY there’s a lot to catch you up on before I get into it.  Yesterday, something happened that neither Charlize, Sabrina, nor myself has prepared for. Something one wouldn’t even think to put in a back up plan. I was hospitalized.  I won’t get into the details, but the doctors plan on keeping me here for the rest of the week. If you can’t already guess, this means pretty bad things in terms of recording the music video. Right now, I can’t even walk, so there’s absolutely nothing I can do on the production side of the video. The doctors aren’t even sure how long it’ll be until I’m able to live my life normally again, whether it’ll be a week or three (hopefully only one!).  Anyway, with this major wreck in the plans, I still have to try to figure things out. What’s that saying? The show must go on! So, while Charlize and Sabrina do as much recording as they can, I will be doing more off the research and planning part....

     Hi pals!     Today, we were tasked with the assignment to create a music video. For this project, we were able to choose to work with a group. I decided that I think it would be beneficial to work with a group, so I chose two of my best friends: Charlize and Sabrina. I didn't only choose to work with these girls because they're my best friends. I chose to work with them because they're both very smart and hardworking, and I think all of our talents and hard work combined will come together to make a great video. I'm not worried about us getting sidetracked or off task, since all of us really care about what we do and will want to make the best music video we possibly can. And, if I have to be honest, I think working with them will just be really fun and we'll have a great time.      We've already been flooded with ideas, brainstorming nonstop. We even have an entire notebook page full of ideas for a theme, song, and general plan! This does in...

     Hey pals!      I'm Ella Agnese, a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High School. I’m sixteen years old. My birthday was actually a few weeks ago, and it still doesn’t really feel like I’m sixteen. I was kind of expecting more of a change you know?           What are some interesting things I can say? Well, to start with the basics, my favorite colors are pink and viridian green. My favorite food is Chinese food, but I also eat a lot of meat since my family is from Argentina. I'm a competitive sailor, and I also just started playing tennis last January. I've actually gotten very good at tennis for someone so new. I've been sailing since I was five years old, and it's probably one of my favorite things to do. I sailed the Optimist from the ages of five to twelve, and then I started sailing a boat called the 29er, which I sailed for three years. Now, I'm starting a boat called the Nacra 15, and I'm super nervous.    ...
