 Hi everyone! My name is Finau and welcome/welcome back to my blog. 

I created a bridge design and tried to make one outside. It was quite fun,challenge,interesting to do. I'm very glad I had a few of the materials. This is a draft that I'm still working on so I hope that this bridge gets done or built in the next few weeks. As you can see the structure isn't very strong. I still don't know if I'll get it done. Vaha and Catherine helped out on this one. Make sure to check out the video!

Everyone has access to the internet and social media so they post whatever they want. 

Everyone carries or uses them everywhere they go. This is a repeated process we all do, scroll through social media or are plugged into devices.

There is what we do now and it is quite normal to have a device and use it all the time. This is how we connect, talk, share, post with others now. It’s a part of our life but it is important to at least take a break from devices.

100 Word Story (The Great Wave Off Kanagawa)


As I glanced at the painting something felt off. The water in the painting looked like it was moving. The water was swaying from side to side. I thought I was just hallucinating so I walked away, just as I walked away I felt a little splash of water hit my back. I turned around to check on the painting, water was coming out of the painting. I couldn’t believe it! More water continued to come out and it wouldn’t stop. It was like a waterfall. The boat in the picture came out and almost ran me over. I ran out of the room but the water just kept on coming out and got bigger by the second.
