Last Day Of Trimester 1

So, today is the last day of trimester one and I actually feel that I have done some work. I got two proposals done, a lot of notes, some cool blogging done, a really interesting topic and that is just in this class. I really did something this year and I'm happy.

Graduation Project has to be continued on for the rest of the year and all of next year until we present. There is a lot resting on whether or not the library is going to accept my proposal or not. I really hope they do. If not I am in a lot of trouble right now. My project will have no where to go now.

But can't think like that. There is no reason for them not to accept. When I go to the library today after school I will probally hand it in.... Sounds right to do....

More Work

So, I finished my proposal and time line finally and I feel very accomplished; well for maybe a whole 2 seconds. Ms. Savido now has me working on a proposal for the library which is more confusing then the regular one. It has to be directed towards the library asking them to let me use their room and conduct this. I don't know really how to go about this so its really confusing I guess... *Sigh*

I just felt there weren't enough posts here so I decided to add one on my accomplishments so far... YAY me..

*Bing* Light Bulb

I believe that I want to go up to the Brookline Carnegie Library and have maybe an "Autostereogram Day" or something of that sort. I could get diffrent pictures, have diffrent books on the topic up there, create some fun games or an activity and try to figure out if these kids can see them or not. It woudln't really generate a data specifically or right away but it would be fun. They do have computres at the library and maybe have the kids log on and play the game; see what they can do. I don't know...

Blogg Addition

At the moment, I'm stuck with my proposal. I did get two paragraphs done on sources that I will need to use and or already am doing. I am still having trouble with the Time Line and I think I'll put that off till later.... Also, the interviews are having trouble getting started... I did look through some Yahoo Answer's today that Ms. Savido brought up to try and find maybe some other links I haven't been to... It's very difficult... A lot of the answers get to be the same after a while.. I believe I need to find more information actually to keep moving forward

Complaining is the best I can do right now

Right now, I am really ready for a mental breakdown because of the stress that this Graduation Project has put on me. I know it is stressful to everyone but right now I'm uber frustrated. I can't think straight with everything that is going on around me on simple yet very complicated things.

Like, I don't know where or who I can possibly interview or how I would conduct that. I more than likely will have to do it either via e-mail or via phone for the fact that it would be hard to get representatives from Massachusetts to Pittsburgh for a 11th grader's graduation project. That isn't something that I would ask or even think about asking for the fact it is not possible, not realistic.

Then, the end project, where or what do I want? As of right now, all I am going to get is collective data which is something I don't think I had planned for... I wanted something to actually grasp on to, something to show for. Yes, collective data is something very important but it's not what I wanted.

Oh, speaking of "want" I don't know that. I know what I don't want but that honestly doesn't help me understand what I do want. I want to pass I know that for sure and I want this to be something somewhat fun not this drag that it is turning into. But I think more so I had unrealistic ideas of what was going to happen that I don't know... I had unrealistic ideas and the truth is setting in.

So where does this all leave me... A bunch of whining and nothing actually done.
