I felt my group today performed excellently! We were able to make individual improvments, our powerpoint was fixed of minor bugs, and we had a niffty intro.
And no one saw it..........
Only one student came, Alex (thanks man!), then the last four were parents. Our handouts were booklets!!! We only gave out about 5 of 50!
I feel our message, and one of the most important ones of the groups, fell on deaf ears. We were supposed to inform the public, and we failed. But we did do a good job. It just bugs me that I invited SSOOOO many teachers and others, and (almost) no one supported us............

Senior Project Presentation
I am so proud of our Student Outreach group and felt so comfortable practicing in front of them. I felt really bad when I had noticed that there wasn't much time left for Emily, Sarah and Brian but not having the time constraint at the public library definitely felt better. We did have a great audience and I actually was glad that they had asked questions and that we all had an answer for each question. I know that I actually spoke a lot but that's not really different than any other time, but I really felt like I needed to stress the importance about ESL in our schools and how Shelby lacks the programs and methods that we need in order to improve the English language. I'm hoping people learned so valuable information and that changes are made due to our informational presentations.

It's a shame really...
Yesterday, I felt that Chris Anderson was really connecting with the presentation. I think this was one of the only times he got to really use his brain on current topics, and it showed. It looked like he really liked where the class was going, and it's a shame he wasn't in the class.
Him, and Sam Reenders. He could have gained a lot from the class.

2 more days...
We only have 2 actual days left of school, and looking back the
last 4 years have gone by soo fast! I never would have thought
that high school would fly by so quickly. But I'm ready to move
on with college and the rest of my life. I'm glad to have the majority
of my assignments done with just this college English exam and a few
small assignments for other classes!! And to also be done with the senior
project presentation! GoOd LuCk to the other groups! The end is so close!

GAH!
I did so terrible in class yesterday!! I asked Chelsea to switch my slides last minute but then I forgot that they were switched. Not only that, I was talking so much and forgot to have Becca switch the slides at all.
However, I felt like I did a lot better at the Library. It felt more casual so I felt a lot better. I only messed up once and I tried to cover it up as best I could.
I feel relieved to be done with my senior project, but I am still TERRIFIED about what my grade is going to be.....I lose sleep at night because of it. I used a technique that Mrs. Gauthier told me about going to sleep at night. She said to write out a list of everything I'm thinking about, i.e. things I have to have done for the next day. It really helped when I was working on my project so I always knew what I had to get done, but it doesn't help with the stress of waiting for the grade.
She also told me to make a checklist of everything I had to do before graduation, and that really helped to organize my thoughts. Every time I could check off something, I felt really good.
Tomorrow is my last full day of high school. It's the ending of an era. I'm scared to move on, but excited to leave my childhood behind and move to a new place and start a new life.
