Lost Track of Time, but Found New Ideas!

It has been a while since I last posted and its time for an update. There has been some changes and they are for the better. Instead of letting the whole school paint the mural I decided to only pick 20 students from the whole school. I feel that the diversity in the project will still be the same because I am going to pick 5 students from each grade at random to paint but only if they reply to the e-mail.

The outline shall begin on 2/25 and will end sometime around 2/29. The time frame should be no problem because the students who are doing the outline are the best in the school.

The oral presentations are supposed to be about 20 to 30 minutes and I figured that I can save the panel from being bored by asking them to help paint a small portion of the mural, then to write thier names in the border. The interaction would be a good boost for my project because the panel helped make something that future generations of City High students will look up to.

There is two and a half weeks left to put all of this project together and I believe that it will go just as according to plan.

My goals:

Write speech
Make Power Point
Take Pictures from the Start to Finish.
Start the Outline
Start the Painting
Write a Mural Summary
Practice Presentation
Send out and Collect Cards

Music is My Motivation, My ANTI-Drug, Music is Me!

I have accomplished every portion of my web page except the results page, not to mention I have also added more to my notes, outline and research paper.

I have looked into buying some canvases and the size is the only problem because I am not sure if 6.5 ft by 5.25 ft is going to be big enough, but I know 13 ft by 10.5 ft is going to be to big to fit in the school hallway.

So brainstorming for the end result is still a ongoing project within my gradproject.

So far this week I have been stress free, I believe it is due to my music or chorus. If its the music I have been listening to lately its because it has been uplifting. If it is chorus its because I am a soloist and I am looking forward to singing Elliott Yamin's "Wait for You". If not my music or chorus is must be the fact that I get my Braces. Karma must be repaying for something I did because I am overjoyed for no apparent reason.

Bright Future due to New Abilities

Last post I written I was pretty stressed because things weren't going the way I planned but now I am in a perky mood due to a new ability I have learned to use and I believe my project will be a success if I stay on track.

Today I have worked on my Research paper as well as my Web Page (Which is complete and waiting for the finishing touches, the mural photos and video.)

This weeks goals include:

Answer last four foundation questions
Finish Research Paper
Buy the Canvases
Talk to my Outliners
