Rube Goldberg 4/18

Max and I finished!!! Not that it was easy-peasy. No, it was really DIFFICULT. First, we had a deadline. 3:30 to 5:15. Many tries, came with an equal amount of FAILS. We totally changed EVERYTHING, for the third time. The part at home that I did was a complete BUST. It didn’t WORK OUT on Maxwell’s “workout” bench.(Get it?) To top it off, Maxwell’s mom forgot to tell the “cleaning ladies” to not DESTROY Maxwell’s part. So we spent most of the time trying to remember what we did. When my dad came, it was a CATASTROPHE. We had to re-setup so many times. When the time came, I left for about 45 minutes until Max’s drum lesson was over. Our next deadline was until my dad had to pick up my sister at 5:45. We fixed everything but guess what? More and more F-A-I-L-S. They just kept piling on! My dad had to leave and when he came back we would continue. I counted six more fails when something, AMAZING happened…Everything thing worked! Except for the last part! The next try we actually accomplished our goal! In our not-so-realistic fantasies. Okay, we did eventually get it right and everybody cheered and clapped. Except for one thing…Nah, I’m just playing with you.


It was really fun collaborating with my buddy Maxwell on this project. But we did go through some up-and-down moments. We realized, when you have a great partner by your side, you can accomplish anything.

  1. I can really tell how excited you were from words like “AMAZING” or “Max and I finished!!!.” Also I really like your vocabulary and things like how you wrote fails or how you wrote some important words in bold. Nice job!

  2. I like how you bolded words like “AMAZING” or “FAILS.” It gave the reflection more joy.

  3. I really enjoyed reading your blog posts, Michael! Your detailed posts provided a window into the ups, downs, and ultimate success of your project.
