This week is a really surprising week because on Thursday I'm meeting with Anna for my last official mentor visit, and probably the second-to-last time I'll see her this year (the last being Final Presentation Night). As far as my Final Product is coming, I think I'm on track to finish by Monday, which is when it's due. Still, I'm concerned that with AP tests I'll be exhausted in a few weeks. Hopefully I can make it through the end of May as painlessly as possible, even if it means a few long nights up ahead. At least that's a goal I can have to focus on for next year: that I not only try to stay on top of my work, but even attempt to get ahead. It's obviously much easier said than done, but maybe if I can keep it in mind when the year isn't as crazy, I won't be as stressed the closer it gets to Final Presentation Night. Speaking of, my FPN speech is next Wednesday, and this week I'm going to make it a goal to work on it and get everything together. Once I take the SAT this Saturday and get more of a handle on all the AP test prep I'm still trying to accomplish, I know my Final Presentation work will seem more within my abilities to accomplish. Until next week, when (hopefully) I feel a lot more secure with Final Presentation Night!
This week was a great week! I got to go into the office and meet with Jessica to go over my FAQs and decide which ones would be most beneficial in my pamphlet. I really enjoyed getting feedback on the work that I have been doing and I hope that it will propel me to finish the rest of the Final Product that I need to complete. I feel a lot more encouraged to be working these days than I was a few weeks ago, which is great news for my Final Product and where it's going. I'm not naive enough to think that it won't take more hard work and commitment to have a great product, but I still feel better about where I'm at right now than where I was about a month ago. I honestly can't believe how close Final Presentation Night is, and from there I will begin looking for next year's mentor! I am so lucky to have had all the opportunities I had this year, and now I just really can't wait to implement them all with a new topic next year. Overall, I'm excited about where my product is going in its final stages, and can't believe the year is almost over!
This last week was a great week! I was so excited to go back to Mosaic, because it really felt like I hadn't seen Anna in a long time. It was great touching base with her because she really helped me refocus my goals for what my Final Product is going to be. For a few weeks I honestly felt really lost because I wasn't sure what I was doing and I was not all that happy with what I was creating. The research was actually the much easier part, but every time I sat down to try to design a mock of what the pamphlet would actually look like, I would get stuck and end up disappointed with the result. Now that I have a better focus of where to go from here, my goal is to finalize the questions for my FAQ sections and finish the draft of the information I'm sending to Anna on the information sections. I think the sooner I get this done, the better, because I'm a little behind schedule. Switching gears though, I'm getting excited for Final Presentation Night! My invitations just recently came in and so I realize how closely everything is coming. All in all, it was a great week, and I can't wait to see where things go from here.
