Mentor isn't a meteor
So I finally had the meeting with my mentor. We discussed what I was going to talk about in my presentation. He also told me that he was very happy that I finally listened to him and researched something that he told me to research (rabbits taking over Australia). I really enjoy having a mentor now that the project is basically over. In the beginning, it was weird because he wasn't able to help me and didn't know much about rabbits. In my painting and drawing lessons I will be enjoy having a mentor that knows more about the topic he is helping me with.

The end is near
Everything is ending too fast for me and I haven't heard from my mentor in a while. Usually we let our meetings fall into place but I'm going to have call in the coming days because he is vital to my presentation. Working on the presentation I've realized that I have put a lot more effort into my project then I have recorded which is an awful mistake on my part because I will not get credit for it of course.

Help me!
I really need to meet with my mentor! Last week he told me that we'd meet on Thursday and he never showed up which is really strange because usually I see him every week. The reason I need him is because I actually need to ask him for help with my presentation. He has been so great the whole project always there for me and not pushy at all ( which may not actually have been good) but now when need him he is missing. Come back Bowen, come back.

Australia
" Do a blog post on the rabbits that took over Australia " says Mr. Bowen every week. Well, I am doing a blog post on the rabbits that took over Australia everybody! See from my research I know that rabbits have of about 4-12 kits per litter and they can have up to 12 liters a year which is unlikely because the doe does need healing time but possible. So I figure that rabbits could take over a country in no time at all. The problem started when 24 wild European rabbits were released into Australia in 1788. Obviously, the hunters were no Robin Hood and couldn't shoot a bow for their life which means the rabbits all escaped and took over the country in a short amount of time. That is the lame part! The best The most historically significant part is that the rabbits spread west where the settlers did not live or want the rabbits. So they built a fence to keep the rabbits where they wanted them and to keep the Australian native species on the opposite side which separated the Aubergines from the Europeans in every-way possible. This is really cool it's like The Great Wall of China, or the Berlin Wall.
Yikes
I know my project is getting bad. I really can't do anything since the babies died a few weeks ago. When my goal was to watch them grow and find homes for them but now they are dead and i still have to do something but I don't know what to do. So I play with my rabbits and read things about rabbits about once or twice a week. I know that this is not enough but god give me a break! I feel like I'm standing in the middle of the road and a car is driving straight at me and by car I mean F or if I'm lucky D in this class :(

Question: Bunnies in Folklore
I choose to do a little research on the Moon Rabbit. The Moon Rabbit is also know as the Jade or Golden Rabbit, the Moon rabbit was sent to the moon as a present by Sakra. The story tells us that there was an old man begging for food on the day of the full moon. When the old man begged for food four animals decided to help him by bringing him a food they could collect. The rabbit, who usually grazes on grass knew he had to bring something else to the old man. So he just threw himself inside a pot of boiling water! Then the old man reveled himself as Sakra and told the rabbit he was so impressed by his selflessness that he was going to send him to the moon so everyone can see him at night.

Research
I need to do more research for my project! So, I am going to come up with one question and have my sister come up with one question and I'm going to answer them in the next blog post I do. Also, my personal editor has gone on a trip to Madagascar. That means for the next two weeks their, I mean they're, I mean there will be a lot of grammatical errors.
