In Class: Thursday Class Journal

How much time did you spend on your project?

This week so far I have spent about 30 minutes on my project.  I was very sick Monday and Tuesday, so I did not go to our Tuesday class this week.  I am going to see Ms. Lord when I get back to school.  I have written up my mentor meeting from last week, and been in correspondence with Rick Manning and Tim Logue about interviews. 

What did you do that was hands-on?

I am interviewing Rick Manning this week on Thursday after school at 4PM.  Nothing so far this week.

What research did you do?

The interview with Rick Manning will be research.

Did you meet with your mentor?

I have not met with Ms. Shenk yet this week.  We planned on meeting on Friday.  Since we don't have school Friday, I have sent her an e-mail asking if we can meet tomorrow (Thursday), before school for 30 minutes.

Do you have at least 3 journal entries?

This has not happened yet, so far the current trend in my project is that I am meeting with people to do interviews later in the week.  I prefer to wait to do my Research, Reflection, and Process journals until after this.  This makes more sense to me because I can reflect on my whole weeks progression, and after interviews I may receive new ideas about my project from those that I interview that will go into my Process section.

Were you in class this week?

I was not in class on Tuesday due to illness, I will be attending class tomorrow (Thursday).

Do you think your fulfillment of WISE requirements was...?

Adequate.  I have not conducted the interview with Rick Manning yet, but that will be a big step in my project.  Again, much of hands on, and research of my project is done later in the week.  Though I have not done much not, I have several things to do for my project during the later part of the week.  On Thursday, I am interviewing with Rick Manning.  On Saturday, I am attending "Tunes for Trails", a promotional concert for the trails.  If the weather permits, either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday I am going to take pictures of the Stewart Park section of the Trails.

What are you plans for next week?

I have an interview with Tim Logue (City Transportation Engineer for the City of Ithaca), who is very involved with the trails, on Thursday of next week.
