Day 7: Cinderella

To end the week I decided to try out my least favorite princess, Cinderella.

I didn't have that much going on today so I decided I was going to work on diligence. Basically I would be diligent in all the work I did, being kind, and having courage.

Due to the lack of human interaction (besides my family) I did not have much of to opportunity to focus on kindness so instead focuses on diligence. I cleaned like there was no tomorrow. I put away the massive pile of clothes on my chair, used the swiffer on my bathroom, did some laundry, organized my books (yes, I have that many), dusted, vacuumed, washed my sheets, sorted through old school papers, and cleaned a lot more.

 I also spent some time dreaming and planning my trip to New York City this Saturday to attend Book Con. Book Con is basically Comic Con but for books. Yes, I am that kid, the one who geeks out about books? That is me. I got online and spent my time looking at all the different signings I wanted to go to and the panels I wanted to attend. I made sure that I will get to go to the authors I really want to see.

After this I paper mached. This was quite the adventure. I was nervous at first because I have never paper mached but I remember one of my traits of the day was courage. With that thought, I plowed ahead. Turns out I am a very bad at paper mache. I have to make paper mache oranges for a play that I am directing so I decided using balloons would be fine. I was under the impression that I should let the layers dry a bit before starting on the next one so I gave them time to dry. That is where everything went down hill. The first "orange" I picked up started shedding newspaper pieces. Before I could say Wicked Stepsisters all the newspaper had fallen off! I miraculously managed to save two but I had to completely start over on the other ones! Oops....

Overall, I learned that diligence is a great thing to have. I did not have a lot of opportunities to play around with kindness or courage but I did my best. Being Cinderella was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I realized that I had more in common with her than I thought.
