//__Please answer these three questions each time you make a journal entry.__// Alexis Tremblay 2.12.10

1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? It wasn't as progressive as I would have liked it to be, but between the ever-growing amounts of schoolwork and trying to get all of my college stuff done by the end of this week, I haven't had much time to work on a lot of stuff having to do with my Senior Project.

2.What do you need help with? Well, I'm kind of stuck until my grant application gets approved, and then after that I will probably need help with the process of ordering the supplies for my physical project.

3.Journal below about the progress you are making on any aspect of your Senior Project: lessons learned, information obtained, contacts with mentors or advisors, etc.. Accidently forgot to give a hard copy of my grant application to Mrs. Melin, but got that done and over with on Thursday, so I'm just waiting to hear back from her to see where I stand with the grant... good news, I did get a mentor. Autumn Chandler said that she would be happy to be my mentor, she is a licensed cosmetologist but is also a qualified esthetician, so she has a sufficiant amount of knowledge in the makeup field. I thought it would be simpler to have a mentor in town because that way I could meet up with her more easily, and more frequently, especially seeing as the school year is already almost over. Again, didn't do as much as I wanted to this week, but I had a lot to get done, so this wasn't my very first priority compared to getting college stuff completed and submitted for approval. I'm going to try and focus most of my attention next week to Senior Projects, since I believe I will hear back about my grant application on Tuesday and my college stuff will be completed!

Jan 31, 2010 Alexis, keep being persistent this week with contacting the lady from CWC theatre. You may have to try to call at different times during the day, as it didn't seem like SLC was a good time last week. Maybe try during the morning hours, if you have time during a class or lunch or even evenings, as they may be rehearsing and that may be why she's not there during the day. Also try the CWC general info desk to see if they might have any ideas for best time to reach her. A third idea is to ask Ms. Knight to call and leave a message. The lady may not want to say yes or no to you, but if she had some background info from Ms Knight, she might be more willing to contact you. I'd say if you are persistent this week and don't hear back from her, we'll have to look for other options again. Mrs. Melin

Alexis Tremblay- 1.29.10 1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? Pretty well, made decent progress this week.

2.What do you need help with? Finding a mentor! I called the director of the theatre department at CWC twice but haven't heard back. Otherwise I'm doing good on my own.. as far as I know!

3.Journal below about the progress you are making on any aspect of your Senior Project: lessons learned, information obtained, contacts with mentors or advisors, etc.. Well, I called CWC to try and get ahold of Chontelle Grey (the director of the theatre department at CWC) twice, with no call-back. Hopefully she will contact me soon. I also have been getting my late work caught up, and I revised my letter of intent. I didn't get the grant, so I need to reapply for that, hopefully on Monday since the half-day kind of cut me short on time. I reposted my letter of intent and am working on getting the release form signed by my parents (I spaced it yesterday, so I need to bring it in signed on Monday, as well as my signed letter of intent). Otherwise I'm pretty proud of my progress.

Jan 21, 2010 Alexis, I think you're off to a great start with journaling and making progress on parts of your project that were lacking! A few quick notes...When you journal, please include the date at the top of your questions. Also, as we discussed in class today, we would like to meet with all students who submitted grant applications next week to give feedback and collaborate on the project ideas you have. We may look at mentor options also and discuss the letter of intent at that time too. Mrs. Melin

1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? Having some trouble with certain pieces (getting all of the work in is a big one!) but starting to make great progress now that I've got my mind set to it. I think I'll be back on track very shortly if I keep it up at this rate. 2.What do you need help with? The only thing I need help with at the moment is finding a mentor, the person I was going to ask to be mine has been really hard to get ahold of. But other than that I think I'm pretty much good to go. I need to catch up on some stuff, but I think I'm making good headway.

3.Journal below about the progress you are making on any aspect of your Senior Project: lessons learned, information obtained, contacts with mentors or advisors, etc.. I have gotten a lot of stuff done lately, since I've changed my topic for my Senior Project. I have finished my new letter of Intent, made a new Senior Project poster, applied for my grant and have been trying to figure this site out so I can make some progress with that as well! I hope to find a mentor within the next week, and after that hopefully I'll hear about the Grant so that I can (hopefully) start ordering some of the products I need to do my physical project. Overall, I'm really happy with the way things are going, I just want to make sure I keep up on all of my SP things so that I don't fall behind again!

1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? Basically the same as last week, I've been waiting to see if I can get the grant so I can start ordering stuff so that I can start filming my tutorial video.

2.What do you need help with? Nothing right at this moment, I'm sure that I'll think of something soon, but at the moment I'm kind of at a stand-still.

3.Journal below about the progress you are making on any aspect of your Senior Project: lessons learned, information obtained, contacts with mentors or advisors, etc.. Well, I have already mentioned that I've basically got everything I needed to be updated on here done. I've been researching new makeup techniques in my free time. I'm still searching for a mentor, I think that Autumn's not going to be able to do it so I think this weekend I'm going to ask my mom her instructor from the Beauty School in Riverton's contact info and see if she wants to be my mentor. Fingers crossed! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
