Day two of marzipan. Technically, this was supposed to be the last day of it, but guess how many people finished today. That’s right... one! And guess who it wasn’t. Right again... me.
I did come up with an idea for my scene, though. I’m making elephants and hippos who are playing football and using a mouse as the ball. I made all my hippos and mice, and I only have one elephant left to make. Then I have to put some white lines and numbers on a green piece of marzipan that I already rolled out, then set up the animals. Who picked the easiest idea? I did!
I thought my hippos were looking pretty sweet until I saw that one of my classmates was also making hippos and hers were like a million times better than mine. Unfortunately, hers didn’t have legs, and therefore couldn’t play football, so I couldn’t steal them.
While I was trying to think of how to make my football field, Chef Gronert insisted on standing over me and saying “That’s not how I would do it” every five seconds. Well maybe I was using the trial-and-error method to learn a better way to do it. But if you’re so insistent on telling me I’m wrong, at least tell me how to do it correctly.
I have a feeling that my scene will be one of the worst in the class. Do I care? Of course not. Wait... perfectionism says yes. I care.
In most cases, I would sort of be somewhat okay with it as long as I still get an A in the class, because I’m genuinely not good at modeling marzipan. In this case, I’m the youngest one in the class, and therefore should have played with play-doh more recently than everyone else... meaning I should be better at it than everyone else.
