Today I started my power point and also worked on my website. Then I have a volunteer project that I am doing after school at the womens shelter on center ave.

I hate this

I am so ready to be done with this project. I still need someone to interveiw and I still don't have enough notes to start my outline. So what am i going to do. I think that I should have went with the project that my mother suggested which was premature babies.

I'm in the stage of pulling my hair out!!!!!!!!

This poroject is not going so well right now. I cannot think of any interview question that I would ask a person that was in an abusive relationship without hurting their feelings. Also I don't have anyone to interview yet, so if anyone has any suggeations on who I could interview that would be very helpful. Also my foundation questions are not going so well either. I am starting to get sick of coming up with questions that i don't think would make my point to any teens that would understand my topic.

Coming Down The Road

My project is coming along really well now. I ran into some pretty good websites that is sending me information on my topic in the mail and also expands my topic in so many different ways. I am very happy in what progress I am making.

Struggles

My experience that i had today was horrible. I could find some information that i need for my topic and then I couldn't find some. My overall search is coming along very well except for some information.

Grad topic

My initial grad project idea is trying to look at the outcome of premature infants and what type of effects they are born with and may develop when they become older. Another idea is sarcoidosis. I want to tell everyone what this disease is and what it does to your body.
