Relief

Today after sending reminder emails all last week, and forcing myself to get up early today to make it to morning assembly (which i rarely make even on a normal school day) to make an announcement it was all worth it!  A ton of people came up to me in the hallway asking if they could still sign up and asking me to resend them the forms.  I must've forwarded one message 10 times!  Also people I didn't even know where going confirmed with me today and told me how excited they were.  Although a lot of people found out they couldn't come, people are always willing to help and want to do anything they can even if it's come set up in a dress and full makeup (one of my friends is doing this for me).  Today was a good day for the volunteers!!

Life gets in the way

Sometimes your plans don't work out as expected, people have other commitments and have to cancel appointments, which really wasn't a problem! Considering our Prom is tomorrow, it was nice to not have to go in today, but I'm just not sure what i should be doing right now! 

Twiddling thumbs

As I predicted I had little to do today.  Right now it's a bunch of networking to try and get things done, so a lot of emails have been going back and forth but with little "action". I still need to make a couple of phone calls, I'll work on that tomorrow or Monday.  I'm going into the office tomorrow, so she'll give me more things to do.  Hopefully I can take some of the stuff home and just do it at my house, such as making the lanyards, bracelets, and name tags.  But until then, I'll just sit here twiddling my thumb

Free Time

I'm not sure how much more time I'm going to need on my own to work on the project, there's not that much to do.  Really all that's left is to get all the stuff together!! There's not any more researching stuff to buy, it's just whatever Elizabeth needs me to do in the office.  We're going to go shopping one day next week and go to Cosco and Party City, so that should be fun.  But, besides that the at home work to do is little. 

Much to do or little to do

I can never figure out if I have a ton of stuff to do before the prom or just a little because we always get so much work done in the office.  I'm learning that everything you do is not always going to be right the first time (especially with me I tend to need a lot of instructions).  So I redid part of the nametags today to make it look how Mrs. Hewell wanted- which was way better by the way!   As well you might spend a lot of time doing research but those ideas may not always be needed or used.  But, that doesn't matter as long as the final project is what the "customer" wants! 

Quickly Approaching

I don't realize how close the Gala really is!  When I was looking at lanyards I would just barely get them before the Gala if I were to order them today, which made me realize it's only two weekends away! Woo! That's closer then I thought.  I'm really enjoying working in my senior project and figuring out how to best organize my time between school, home, and at FOCUS office!  It's been a great first week!



Here's a little look of everything that's running through my mind and a few of my notes 

First "Official" Day

Today was my first "official" day on the job.  I had come in about three times prior to the start of my project to get some groundwork done.  There are so many tiny details for this project, and it's going to be really fun setting everything up.  I have to finish making a floor plan tomorrow, since the pictures of the middle school are too far away and I couldn't remember how the patio is set up.  I also went to Chinese- a class I had dropped- for about 20 minutes and realized that was not the move.  If i feel as if I don't have much work to do I probably shouldn't go to class (at least Chinese) because I was so lost.  Am i even supposed to go to a "dropped" class?
