Work Update

The last few days have been pretty busy for me. I've been working really hard to get focused on my paper and project, but it's really hard to balance the two at the same time. Today I finally started writing my term paper. I feel a whole weight lifted just because I got a head start and now I can just keep working with what I have. I plan on working on it a lot out of school, so I can get it done ahead of time.

I e-mailed my faculty mentor, Mr. Gudmundson, on Monday and we decided to meet on Friday to talk about and start on my final product. I have so many ideas for my presentation, but I don't know how to put it all together for the little kids. I decided to do the second grade, so I should go talk to the teachers tomorrow also to set up a date for the presentation. I don't want to bore the kids. It's probably not something they have a lot of speakers for, but it's something they probably know a little about already. I hope to spend an hour or more with my mentor tomorrow.

I also want to set up a few more visits with my community mentor Gail. Hopefully then I'll be able to get some photos and really be able to help out with little kids. Now that January is almost over, I can't believe how soon this project is due. I'm confident I will be able to get it done on time and make it even better for the expo.

That reminds me, tomorrow I'll have to get ahold of my aunt about a big mouth and toothbrush prop she might have. I think that would really help get the kids interacted in the presentation and even at the expo. I would be able to have some props there to keep my booth interesting!
