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.

I haven't been in class in a while between choir and interviewing. However, today I came back and took some notes and turned in the notes that I didn't have a chance to turn in last week. All in all not a bad day made some progress.

6.18.2008

Today I finished another 20 or so pages of reading for my grad project. A lot of it seemed useless so I deleted most of that stuff. I want to check out this video now though that I think will be very useful information, possibly funny, and probably depressing it is called the story of stuff.

6.17.2008

Today I took notes and read more articles. I found out how to contact people that I want to interview and even started to look at some of the people that I may want to interview.

6.16.2008

Over the weekend I found about 20 pages of notes and filled in my template today. I found a few more articles and started looking up some library books I might want to read for my topic.

6.12.2008

Today I took a gazellion notes. I just read and researched more articles for my topic. I also looked up books that I might check out for my topic. The research is very interesting.

6.11.2008

I finished my proposal today had it approved and uploaded it. I am starting to really crack down on my notes. I am getting some done but I still need to do a lot more on the notes front I still don't feel as though I am getting that much done.

6.10.2008

Today I focused on writing and perfecting my proposal my ideas are finally starting to take shape. I also got a little work done on my notes I think I am going to have to work outside of class on my notes I feel like I am so far behind on them.

6.9.2008

Today I went crazy taking notes and now I am in the process of uploading them to my notes document. Before that we discussed and started to map out exactly how we are going to attain our tangible product.

6.5.2008

Created my collage today. I think it really expressed the message of my plan it is an open book with a smoke stack on one edge the smoke goes up to the top to read "Consume less, live more" below the smoke is a picture of a zombie with ads all around him telling him to consume below him is a caption saying "Over consumer" then there is an equal sign and three picture on the other side one of a broke man, one of the earth on fire for global warming, and a third labeled garbage mt. which is just what it is a huge mountain of trash. It is very interesting and I think it is done well because the book helps to express the theme that I am trying to educate others about this.

6.4.2008

Today I spent the day finishing up articles and finding more to read. There is a huge section of articles about green being the new black it is crazy. I also talked with Mrs. King about my action plan and discussed a few other programs and how to put my action plan into action. It will be hard but quite an accomplishment if it all works out.

6.3.2008

Today I just read and read and read. I found a lot of notes for most of my questions and finished reading a few articles. Things are on schedule and I hope to write my notes soon.

6.2.2008

Today I created some questions that I am going to need to answer for my action plan. I found a few articles that I am currently reading for my dot jot notes. Pretty simple day.
