Oh Senior Project, how much I love you.

Well I've had free time this week but it was quickly consumed by my research paper. I'm finally getting progress on it and I can see some of the paper coming together in my mind already. Mr. Thorne contacted me as well and has notes for me and would like to go out to the site with me soon and I plan to schedule that the next free time I have.

Frustrating..

Every week I come back to type something in here and realize that the week just flew by and little work has been done. This week I have been working on my research paper and I am getting work done on that. Otherwise I've been busy with the last week of soccer, shinsplints, playoff game, volleyball game support and this Friday State Championship! I am off to get some sleep now for the big day.

Back to Responsibilities

We had the senior retreat this weekend and I would call it nothing short of amazing. We all had a great time and I couldn't have asked to go with a better group. I learn a lot about myself and plan to apply that to my Senior Project and working with others. I have to get on the ball with my project and it's very stressful with soccer and all the other things going on. I plan to go to Duncan Park to take some picture this weeken, so I can have a proper sit down with Mr. Thorne and show him my design again and also pictures of the site! Wish me luck!

A week or a month?..

I've been having an awful time with many things and I have had trouble doing my work and focusing. This week has felt like a month, so this week I haven't done much at all. I have revised my proposal and honestly that is all. I struggled to get the proposal done so, this is not easy for me at all right now.

Proposal Done

I have finished my proposal and it went significantly well. I have my project approved and very good suggestions for what I need to do next. I have gotten in contact with Mr. Thorne and he has been reviewing my bridge design and I plan to meet with him soon. I will also contact Erica Turner to find out about Parks and Recreations involvement with this project and if it will be a problem if I build this bridge. I am excited to get working on this soon and am happy for all my fellow seniors who got their projects approved. Let's keep up the good work!

Gearing Up for the Proposal

Lately I have been trying to perfect small details to further prove to the board I can handle and accomplish this task. I have done a rough estimate for the cost of the entire project and I believe it is just about right. However I did not stop there. I drew up a sketch of what I believe the bridge will look like, including the supports and plan to call Mr. Throne and ask to meet him to discuss my design and idea. He is a structural engineer and will provide great help and advice to perfect my design.

1 Mile In and Still Pedaling

Well, things have been busy lately with school, soccer and of course senior project, but I have gotten some work done. I recently picked up my mentor form from Mr. Turner and figured out my research paper. The research paper topic is about bike paths on public roads in South Carolina, as a means of transportation which I am really excited to get to know more about. Biking on roads is a great way to stay in shape and still work around those busy schedules.

My proposal was worked out as well and I feel confident in my ability to speak in front of the board members and tell them what I want to do. The project so far has been good so far, however I'm still at the beginning of this project, and I look forward to future progress.
