I’ve always wanted to do this! Here you can’t even get a cup of coffee like this. Just a bunch of businesses training teens how to do the basics. Nothing too ambitious or artsy. I’d like to drink a cup first I think, and then have a go at it myself.

How I did it: 1. Gather a team: We hard two getaway drivers, 1 distraction, 2 disguise artists, and 1 inside man. 2. Wait: We went at the closing hour, when our inside man assured us it was always clear. 3. Go: We put on our disguises, being that there was one camera on the way in and out, walked in, picked him up, and walked back out where a car was waiting down the street. Our distraction went in first to lead any workers away if necessary, but it wasn't. Read how I did it…
How I did it: On the last possible day, my ap english teacher said he would just give me the money in exchange for the painting I did for his project. I said no, because I spent all the past few weeks working on that 2nd project just so he could keep it! So he said, "alright, then right now!" and pushed me up and onto the desk. And once I was up there, actually it wasn't so weird. Just talk about the things that irritate you, and be embarrassed for a s… Read how I did it…
How I did it: We had to submit a project plan several months in advance, and a part of our grade depended on whether we stuck to it or not.

It’s been a great year, and taking polaroids has made every moment seem more special, and the time didn’t pass slower, but the memory of the year seems more complete and perfect in polaroids.
If only they hadn’t discontinued the film! I’m putting all my hope in that factory in Enschede, Netherlands. (The Impossible Project)
The fruits of my day. We drove all the way to San Antonio (yes, again) to see The Maine play, and actually our place was excellent! The heat was bad, but not impossible, and John Ohh (lead singer) signed the polaroid! Great concert too!
