Another day, they might go make someone ride a bull, or shoot burritos at people. This is just a few of the many random things they do on a regular basis. The Fantasy Factory is a place of business and fun. They will do the quirkiest things they can think possible, just to entertain themselves and others. Originally called “Dyrdek Enterprises,” the said name is placed in big letters on the side of the massive building they use to make their show.

  17. Reflection I learned a lot about the person I researched that I never would have known. The research, however, was over-excessive and cumbersome. If I were to do this project again, I would research someone else, because you don’t learn anything from researching someone you’ve already researched. I wouldn’t give any future GT students any advice, because they can learn better by figuring things out by themselves. If I were to give Mrs. Clark any advice on PSP, I would tell her not to make us do so much research, because the task of doing so much research is extremely tedious.
