I enjoyed the Provocation Day. I got extremely inspired by people doing short stories,directing a play and standing up for women's rights. I also enjoyed walking around, and I’m in awe with the amazing Origami creations! I really despise (No offense to anyone!) the idea of Melded Classrooms. I want to stay in my own classroom, it's just not a family anymore!!!! People think that me and Sanaa don’t work well together, but we do! Our ideas are similar and we both are creative, we don’t fight over ideas, and are fine, unless someone else is in the group that might create a fight, then, and ONLY then, might we have a small fight. Any small argument finishes in after a few seconds, though. I really don’t want to lose her during Melded Classrooms. I did enjoy writing down my passions, but I do prefer my Animal Passion over all of the ones I wrote down, then my Girls Rights, and then, finally, Herbal Remedies. I feel……. Mixed. Sad, because I don’t really want to do Melded Classrooms, Anxious, because I want to bewith Sanaa SO SO much! Confused, because, well, Final X is confusing!!! Angry because I want to stay in my class with our regular timetable. My life is turned upside down, round and round, and all wrong! Whizzing off in different directions!!! I do really hope that my group is cooperative and we don’t fight. But, I would rather NOT have MeldedClassrooms. It’s just going to tear us apart, 5MCA won’t be 5MCA!

I’m really excited to begin the Final X but also a bit nervous. I wonder how the Final X project will turn out? I’m excited to work with people from other classes. I hope to find out what others are passionate about. I’m glad that parents were told what the project is for and about. Provocation day was quite exciting, it gave me some marvelous ideas and I really enjoyed going to each class to find inspiration for the Final X. There were some incredible things to think about while being in each class for provocation day and my passions have changed in this amount of time. I am getting more passions to think about. I’m really interested in the Final X project but I’m a bit nervous because of the melded classes. I don’t know if the teachers teach differently or if the schedule will confuse me or if I will get overwhelmed. I’m looking forward to learning more about what I want to study for the Final X which is the police and government as well as cooking but I’m hoping to research the police in Tanzania. I’m also hoping to learn about the people I’m doing my project with. I know the Final X will be an incredible experience!

I personally think that the Final X is going to be a great experience as there will be a lot of teamwork in this project. The provocation day was great. I met many people and they all had many different passions. Some of these passions and topics I have seen have inspired me. The provocation was a great start for the Final X and it has really got me thinking. After a while we got a paper to write down our passions. I already had one I really wanted to do. We had to write down three of our really big passions but we could always change. I was unsure what to do for the third passion but then an idea popped into my head. In my head I felt a LOT of emotions. I was happy one moment that we could have melded classrooms and then sad that we won’t have the same class. After I thought about what that meant I really don’t want to have melded classrooms because first our class is going to be completely different and then I might be separated from all my really nice friends. I also don’t want to change my class timetable. I want to have the same funny and caring class. I really do hope that my group is enthusiastic and positive about this project and that we all work hard and are all cooperative. I am really excited about my group and who they are, I also really want to know who’s my mentor. I am quite worried about the X Factor and what my group will have to show them and if we have planned well enough. But, for the positive side I am really looking forward to going through this whole journey and process.
