It's a little weird watching a plant grow, because it reminds me of how people grow up over time. A seed is like when we are baby all the way through to second grade lets say. Sprout-lings are from third to fifth. And then it just goes from there till we are ready to harvest and become adults. This class has been interesting for sure, but it has made me see some things that I didn't realize. It has helped me learn new things, and remember some old memories. I think that while watching these plants grow that I have grown with them. I have learned to manage my time a little better, and i have begun to eat differently. When you read about some of the things that Fast Food Nations tells you, you don't want to keep going on the way that you have been all along.
I am glad that I was able to take this class and do the things that I was able to do.

OMG George is growing like a weed in a jungle. LOL. Wow, can't believe it. It seems like it was just yesterday that he was just sprouting.
Oh, a cat ruined the other half of our pot. Stupid Cat. That is so annoying when animals try to use your garden as a little box. Not to mention rude.
Huh i guess this didn't publish when i went to post it.

Our Basil is doing really well and smelling great already! I saw that some wonderful people watered my Basil for me today and I didn't even have to ask. Thank you!!! I was off doing my math homework when they did me that favor. My little plants got the help they needed from somebody other than me... Hmmm... So the world really CAN function without me controlling everything! This leads me to my next thoughts...
As school progresses I'm realizing how fast time flies by when you are doing what you enjoy. I love challenging myself and growing. I've known for a long time that a person won't grow unless they move outside of their comfort zone and try new experiences. Even though I may not understand or like some of the changes I go through I never regret making the changes in the end. I find myself in a rut every now and then and feel the need for some sort of change. This week I've learned to let things go... Really, I did! Life is not always fair, and people may not see things the same way I do, I may not get a perfect grade on an assignment or get my entire to-do list done every day. And the world will not end because of my mistakes. I've also learned once again that we can all benefit from the help of others. Sometimes I have a hard time giving up control and trusting that somebody else really can help me to learn a better way of completing a task or that I can rely on them to give me a boost when I need one. I'm also realizing right now that I do not enjoy writing a blog very much. I feel really silly throwing all this out to people that I don't know. As I said before; Like it or not, I'm venturing out of my comfort zone and it's not killing me.

First week
Our plants aren't much to look at right now, most of what is happenening in going on under the surface. They have sprouted and are now growing their roots to gather nutrients and secure themselves so they can withstand any weather rain or shine that comes at them.
When you think about it, my learning experience is at the same exact place right now. I'm now building the foundation I will need to flourish in college. Most of the important changes are being made under the surface, similiar to what the seeds are going through it's the hardest part. My roots must push down through the soil, either going around or moving any obstacles in their path. If I don't create a good root system I won't be able to withstand the hard times I face. If I do create a good root system then the results will be visible just like the leaves that are slowly sprouting up toward the sun. If I take careful measures to allow my roots to reach further out, I will gather all the nutrients (knowledge) that will create help to create the fruit that benefits everyone.
