1. How 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. How and when are you working effectively on this project? If you had the last month to do over again, what would you do differently? Why?
 * < Right now I am moving along fine with my project. ||


 * If I had the last month to do over again I woould have got started on my paper a lot sooner instead of waiting till the end. ||

3. What kinds of decisions have you found yourself making recently? Have they been good decisions? What are you learning about how you make decisions and what kind of effect these decisions have on your learning?


 * I have been putting stuff off for a while and then forget about it and then it comes up at the last minute again. It is a lot easier if I just get it done right away instead of procrastinating. ||

4. What did you learn about yourself—your working style, your interests, etc?


 * I have learned that the hardest part is getting started. However, once I do get started a lot of things seem to just flow like in my paper, and it is easier to think of things to write. ||

5. What did you learn about your topic/subjects that you didn’t know before? What connections among the various things you have studied and researched do you see? Have you had any “aha” moments? What were they and how did they affect you?


 * I learned more about the lenghts of rods and what situations to use a longer rod or a shorter rod. Also, I actually knew this but never really thought of it this way; how fly fishermen are never constant to one thing because they are always changing flies or leader and tippet material. ||

6. How have you used your advisor or mentors feedback? How have you implemented their suggestions into your project? Highstreet has told me to buy a cheaper spin cast rod to practice on and get most of the mistakes out, which I plan on doing. I am meeting with my mentor next week of Thanksgiving break to get more ideas and tips from him.
