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

1.How well are things going with your Senior Project?
 * Falling behind schedule
 * Having some trouble with certain pieces
 * Making Great Progress
 * Moving Along Fine
 * Stuck and need help

2.What do you need help with

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..

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 4/1/10 Joey, I just wanted to remind you that until your journal as a product is complete (which, hopefully you are working on when you say "organizing my college information") you can not be reimbursed for any more expenses. Also, you may want to look ahead to see what will be due in the next few weeks for the binders, as I have all the rest of your weekly SLC assignments posted at this time and there are things that will be due each week from here out, so check out the Sr Proj web page on my school website. Keep going on it! Mrs. Melin

April 1, 2010 Well, I haven't been making a whole lot of progress at this time. I'm trying to finish up an essay for Language Arts. I think I have most everything turned in as far as my portfolio goes. Now I just need to organize my college information and finally get around to filling out the PO so I can get refunded at least some of the money that was used. Other than that, I think I'm doing fairly well.

March 25, 2010 I'm still moving along just fine. Im just getting everything together for the portfolio. I still need a time log and pictures and I need to fill out a PO to get my receipts covered, but other than that I'm really having no problems. I also need my mentor to mail me my mentor info. That's about it though. I'm still doing alright.

March 9, 2010 I decided to ditch the idea of a webpage and go with the Journal as a product idea. My biggest concern at the moment is being able to find all of my real documents because I have several different versions of everything, like my letter of intenent, etc, saved all over the place. One way or another I hope to have the majority of this done by the end of the week. I have a lot of things to catch up on still, but I'll be trying my best.

March 5th, 2010 First of all, I apologize for the oversight of entering a half credit for the week you were gone. I will correct that, but in the future it would be nice to actually come and have a discussion about it vs. ranting in your weekly journaling and calling that an update of progress on your project which is what the weekly journal is supposed to be! **As soon as you can show evidence of a project** (journal as a project or other form of project resulting from your trip) you will actually be able to be done with the weekly journaling. I'm sure you would like that off your back to free time for other school work you have. Also, as far as the receipts go, you were given a letter upon acceptance of your grant application, that stated the process you need to go through in order to be reimbursed for your expenses. It requires you to fill out a purchase order from the school and if you need help I'm happy to help with the process, but can't read your mind, as you have not ever asked for help! I'm sorry that you seem stressed this week, didn't see that your binder got labeled today either. I am more than happy to help you after school or during lunch if SLC time is not convenient for you. Let me know. Mrs. Melin

February 28, 2010 I'm confused why I continue to get half credit on everything when I've been gone for a week while WORKING on this project. It's interesting to me. At least this is what I'm hearing from my "personal secritary." I need to get hooked up with my webpage thing so I can put my info up. But I will need to turn my reciepts in to somebody so that I can get some of the money back.

February 23, 2010 I just got back from Seattle. I had quite a blast. Got a chance to see some things that I hadn't seen in the years that I had spent there. As far as progress goes, I'm well on my way. I just need help getting hooked up with the whole webpage deal.

February 10, 2010 I have my colleges picked out. I will be touring UW, AIS, Northwest Aviational College, a branch of the Embry-Riddle Aviational College, and Tacoma Community College. My next step is to call each college and schedual a day for taking a tour. My aunt brought up a valid point that the monday that I am there is President's day, so Most if not all of the colleges will be closed. If this happens, I will need to schedual 2 tours for one day. I'm well on my way, but I need to hurry.

February 2, 2010 I have been tryint to narrow down all my colleges. I know that I'm going to see the University of Washington and the Art Institute of Seattle. Other than that I'm not a hundred percent sure on any of the other ones. After that, I need to figure out what day I will go to see each college. Other than that, I'm just trying to catch up on everything. It's really stressful at the moment.

Jan 31, 2010 Joey, your trip is coming up quickly and next week will be official meet with your advisor week, so try to have the questions ready to go for that meeting. Your advisor may be able to help you expand on the questions or narrow them down depending on what you've got. You also need to start thinking about what the project piece of the trip will look like when you get back-how will you compile and share your information about the trip and the decisions you make as a result of that? While you are in WA, remember that your aunt is your mentor and needs to sign off on the paperwork at the conclusion of the trip. It would be great to bring that paper back with you and get it out of the way before it gets misplaced. Finally, there are parts of your wiki site not updated yet and that needs to get done ASAP. Mrs. Melin

January 24, 2010 Well, I bought the plain ticket and stuff. Now I'm just narrowing down 1 more college. I'm still working on different questions to ask and I need to find a tourguide for each college to take me around. I'm moving along and I don't think I need any help.

Jan 21, 2010 Joey, It would be great to see some new journal entries, as we are getting back on track and would like to hear some progress as you prepare for your soon upcoming trip! Mrs. Melin

I've filled out my PO for my plane ticket and I've completed my rough draft of my research paper. Now I need to narrow down the colleges that I want to see. Other than that, everything is at a stand-still for me. I don't need too much help other than the confirmation that my PO was acceptable. The End.

Right now, I'm just chuggin' along on researching for my research paper. It's proving to be a LOT more than I ever imagined. I'm not sure what and what not to include. I wouldn't say I'm falling behind schedual, but there's not an abundance of progress either. I don't think anybody could help me with any of it. I just have to work on this along with everything else that I have to do, which is increasingly difficult. I've gotten my funding and the ok to proceed with my project, so I'm not too concerned at the moment with the project itself. It's just the little steps and stuff to this research paper. The notecards and sourcecard stuff is killing me.
