Apr 9, 2010 At the moment I am finalizing my recipes, which will be completed by Monday. On monday I plan to work on my layout for my book title, and after I complete that section all I have to do is laminate my finalized books and set up the spiraling...then I'll be completed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am having a little bit of trouble setting up my layout for the title of my book, but Ms. Finn has helped me get the idea to put some of my old family pictures throughout my book to make it look more authentic. So, I will have to get my family pictures together and then scan them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx Feb 8, 2010 Don't give up hope on the mentor piece. I've got some more ideas we can explore this week that I think are pretty solid! After you talk to Ms Finn this week about the binding equipment, lets get whatever we need to ordered to help you get going. Also when you talk to Ms. Finn, ask her if there is a possibility of getting the software program she wants you to use on your student laptop or if we need to buy a copy of the software, get the info on that too. Mrs. Melin

Feb 5, 2010 Im currently moving along fine with my project at this moment, though I still cannot find a mentor to save my life. This afternoon I plan on making purchase orders so I will FINALLY have the most important part of my project in my sight-completion. At this time, it wont take me much longer to get the first half of my cookbook done. All I need to do is work on formating and finnishing the typing of my recipes. Soon, I will start to make the layout for the outside of my book. Hopefully all goes well within the next couple weeks.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Jan 31, 2010 Eve, Sounds like you are moving along with the trial and error of the recipes. I would like to see you make a contact this week about a mentor. It's great that your dad is helping you with the family end of things, but you really need to hook up with someone in the community who can sign off on the project at it's various stages, which is not a family member (if your grandma is still sick). Let's brainstorm Monday and make some phone calls. Ms Finn was also asking when you would be coming to see her about the layout of the book because she really wants to help you get going on that-so don't feel like you're in it alone! Mrs.Melin

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

Im moving along just fine!

2.What do you need help with When I start typing up my recipes I will need help with editing!

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.. After months of searching and begging my family, I have sucessfully recoverd my recipes! Though they weren't easy, I have been cookinh up most of them with my dad because he knows family techniques. I have taken an intrest in german cooking..and I now like to bake a potato bread I call doche. It is baked with bacon on the top. Now that my grant is in I can now start adding recipes in while my purchase arrives, which will also save me time. The only problem I have is the layout of my cook book...but I will figire it out soon! :D

Eve HagertThursday, October 29, 2009 1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? 2.What do you need help withWhen I got to upload my Grant Applications they open up to word...the thing is I can't use word because it's a trial...when I try to transfer it to another type of document it wont let me. Therefore I can't type it at the moment. 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.. So I have a question...when do we start research for our paper? Other than that I honestly cannot work on anything for my physical project this weekened because am visiting my sister in Missoula. Everything is fine at the moment, im extremely stressed though as well. I have a lot of assignments to do and I never have time to accomplish any of them during school hours (besides when I use my home computer because I don't have wireless internet...or microsoft word.) Im not trying to complain, I just get a little freaked out when things don't go well. Im not falling far behind but it feels like I am.
 * Comment by Tina Melin (Advisor) 11/02/2009 3:25 AM We will be starting to research your topic this week or next. You are welcome to start the research now if you have ideas about what to research (which I"m sure you do) and start compiling resources so when you have time in LA and down time in SLC you can be working on that which will alleviate some of the stress of outside of school burden. Also, lets sit down today during Personal Finance and look at the issues of uploading documents and saving from Open Office to Word files so you are able to go back and forth between them on either computer, which sounds like it will also cut down on stress. If you have a memory stick/flash drive that you use to go between computers you will save yourself alot of headache also because you will always have your information regardless of what computer you are using. Hang in there! Mrs. Melin

Comments Eve HagertMonday, October 26, 2009 1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? 2.What do you need help withAs of now nothing. I finnished my assignments and everything should be kosher at the moment. 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 finnished all my assignments now. I completed my Grant forms and it's rounded to about $1,799,56. I realized that I needed a machine to create my cookbook so I will have to buy that and wire spiral binding. I also took out money for my plane ticket and spices when I go down, this way I can cook up some island food. I am planning on cooking chicken cordon blue (french dish) and adding panco breadcrumbs to it for texture. Since Thanksgiving is coming along I will have to talk to my grandma for family dishes. Hopefully all goes well :)

Comments Eve HagertFriday, October 16, 2009 1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? 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?Usually after school and on the weekends I get the opportunity to cook up something and see how it turns out- these are the only times I get to work on my project. I am moving along fine though, and I don't really know how I could do things differently in the past month because I am on time with my project as of now. 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've been debating over whether I used include a breakfast section, or just use recipes. I persrned out reallonally don't eat breakfast myself and Im not really interested in doing it, but i dont know if people would enjoy it. The other day i was making a shrimp, crab, and artichoke pizza with spinich and alfredo sauce with Garlic over a flat crust. It turned out really good and my family and I enjoyed it. It will definitely be a great recipe to add to my cookbook! I am going to bake this weekend. Last weekend I was attempting to bake a cake...but I put it in a pan that was to small, making it thing. It burnt...badly. :) I learned to use a smaller pan. 4.What did you learn about yourself—your working style, your interests, etc?I learned that my working style is organized, though I get stressed about small things. So I decided to just relax and look on the positive side while I work on my project, because I should be enjoying it. 5.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?I already responded to that question above. 6.What new questions do you have now (about yourself, the project, your topic)? I was wondering if there will be progress reports on our projects every now and then. So I will most likely bring in some recipes and show the class what I am learning. I just hope I accomplish this project nicely/

7.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 haven't gone into too much research as much as my project. But I will begin shortly. I am definitely going to study German food, italian, spanish, danish, island food, and many more cultures to see the diverse difference between them all.

8.• How have you used your advisor or mentors feedback? How have you implemented their suggestions into your project?Yes, I've spoken with her about my ideas and she likes them for the most part, she is just worried about the layout of my book, not whati put in it. I will definitely need her help on some of the technical computer stuff.

Comments Eve HagertFriday, October 16, 2009 > *At this point you should have 2 green check marks by the components Letter of Intent and Sign of Committment on your home page. If you don't see 2 green check marks, click on the links for those components and see what you need to do next to complete them. If there is nothing else to do once you check for notes there, see me this week to help you get these components completed. Mrs. Melin 1.How well are things going with your Senior Project? 2.What do you need help withNot really anything. I am already cooking up some recipes and doing more research as of now. 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.. Yesterday I had a meeting with Ms. Finn about my senior project. I discussed what recipes I have in store and the design of the book I was going to make. We talked breifly about the materials I will use for the book, and that I would bind and finnish the book at the cyber cafe. I also decided that everytime I accomplish a recipe, I will instantly add it on the computer, already typed so that I can print it out and It will make everything much easier for me. I have to work on the different sections I will include in the cookbook, though everything seems to be going fine at the moment.
 * Comment by Tina Melin (Advisor) 10/19/2009 2:31 AM Sounds like you're doing great. The labor of your work with cooking the recipes will really pay off with things you can take with you. Not sure about some of the words you were typing in your reflection "I persrned out reallonally don't eat breakfast myself and Im not really interested in doing it" so you may want to proof read before you submit your entries!
