It’s harder than you may think, isn’t […]

Today is Friday October 2nd. For the last two days our challenge was to create and complete our own challenge. We brainstormed and came up with many ideas.

Today our group (Spencer, Joe, Kieren, Aubrie, and Dave) did the infamous makeover adventure challenge. This challenge challenged us to change our style, inside and out. A few of us got haircuts from Dave (el cosmetologist extraordinaire). We also acquired new clothes. We took on the roles of characters that we believed were very much […]
