Only 6 school days left including today. Today I got done with my outline I just have half a page to go through. I talked with Mrs. King so I know how to do my thesis and I might start that over the weekend. It will be interesting trying to get a paper done in a week for this especially with Mrs. King not being here next week. We'll just have to see what happens. Wish me good luck and Happy fourth of July everyone.

Only 6 days of school left not including today. I made some really progress on my outline today. I am on page 8 of 12 notes and everything is running smoothly. I found that when I keep my notes in bullets instead of paragraphs it makes it much easier and quicker to put them in outline format. I will obviously have to go back and fix all of the bullets and such but that can wait until the end I am just consumed with getting the primary work done before making it look pretty.

Today I worked on my outline. It was slow but I have most of my outline done for number 1. It is pretty easy work just tedious and time consuming.

Okay I have 9 days of school to get this work done now and here is my thinking. Today I have my notes done I am just going to print them out and work on my outline some more. I started it somewhat over the weekend. I am trying to set up my interviews but so far I am definitely in the 5% of people that say no because I have received two rejections and two other just didn't email me back at all. So I am going local I am going to try to interview Kerry from SCA and see if she can help me at all and possibly some people from my old world but they are going to be really rushed. I have my interview questions already but they are not experts in the area in particular just experts about a few environmental issues so I will just see where this takes me. It's going to be rushed but I hope that I will be done with my outline this week and started on my paper next week.

Today I worked a little bit on my notes they will be done by tomorrow. I spent a long time speaking with Mrs. King also about how to make an outline and write my paper. I think I will do a topic overview style for my outline. I hope to have it done by Tuesday or so. Needless to say it is going to be an interesting scrammble to get done before I leave. I am also going to be going with the 9th graders on a field trip tomorrow because I am a 9th grade mentor so we will see how that goes as well.

Today was a good day. I got a lot of note taking done. I finished reading all of my articles I'll upload the notes from them tomorrow. I watched another video of an artist that made a lot of pictures based on the ridiculous way we consume and our disposal of it afterward so I will have some pictures for my presentation or my paper possibly. I also found out many little weird facts that are neat to know. I hope to be done with my notes by Friday in order to get started on my paper a little early I am leaving soon. 18 more days.

Today I went through the process of taking more notes. I spent most of the period watching a video called The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard. It was interesting and I got a lot of notes out and now I think I understand the process overall a lot better. She helped answer many of my questions.
