Day Three

 Today I woke up and met Kingsley in the dining hall to have breakfast. After that we headed to the library and grinned out our papers for a few hours. It is definitely nice to have the company of Olivia, Kingsley, and Emily who are going through the same process as me. After that I had a meeting with my capstone mentor, John, who reviewed my paper and gave me some final thoughts to consider. Then I headed back to the library to meet with Heidi who helped me with my in text citations. We had tennis practice early and after that I headed to the gym with my friends! All in all a productive day of senior project.

weekly reflection

       I think that participating in the social justice concentration will really help me in college and  beyond. I learned a lot of important skills such as writing an annotated bibliography, correctly  citing sources, synthesizing my research, and supporting my claims with evidence. In college, I will have to manage my time wisely in order to get all of my work done while living even more  independently. If I were to do my concentration again I would have definitely started writing my  paper earlier. It was hard to manage being gone in the winter and having the paper due in the  spring. Therefore, I think I should have started writing this past fall. However, having to grind  this spring taught me a lot about how I work best. I learned that writing a twenty page paper is  not as daunting as it seems as long as you break it into manageable chunks. This is an important  lesson because any type of work can be broken into chunks...

Day One

  Today I got a little sleep in before heading off to Sally where I met up with Olivia, Kingsley and Emily. We sat out on the porch for a few hours before moving to the library to finish up our work. I had a pretty productive day, finishing the counterargument to my paper and getting a good start on my annotated bibliography! It was nice to have a little lunch break where we got to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. I also had a meeting with Heidi who helped me write my counterargument. Tomorrow I want to learn how to incorporate my in text citations into my paper.

Day Four

 Today was super sunny and nice out so we started our work day sitting on Sally porch, after stopping by the Blue Bird Bakery. I had a very productive morning. I wrote my entire conclusion and then went through the rest of my paper making edits with the help of my mentors and Kristen Nesbitt! It felt super accomplished to finally finish my rough draft. After lunch I headed to the swinging bridge with my friends to soak up some sunshine. In the afternoon we went to practice and then hit the gym. Another productive day of senior project underway.
