HELP?

So I'm a little confused and backed up. We've changed my grad project title and concept so many times that it's killing me. I'm way behind everyone else and it's going to take a miracle to get me where I need to be.

I'm still stuck on notes because, guess what, we changed my project again. The outline is due TOMORROW!!! I didnt even start it yet because, guess what, my notes arent dont. Guess why those arent complete... because we've changed so much stuff.

Im in desperate need of a miracle, help, and some time of exception.

And Another One...

So some more progress have been made. I got my new essential question, even some new questions. Now I have to go back in and change somethings.

I found another connection. I told a Navy Officer, Derek Gloeckl, about my grad project. I told him I needed a new action plan, someone to interview, information and probably some pictures. He told me that he wasn't the one who does that but he can connect me to the guy who does. I have to call him Thursday at 1pm.

Hope this works out better than the horrible, unmentionable meeting with that wretched lady.

YEA! So Upset

So today I got a book from the library about Black and White photography for film. Ms. Savido thought she could help me, so she hooked me up with the Wicked Witch of the City. This random lady, who I barely knew, just crushed my dreams, my project, and everything that I said. She barely knows me.

She tells me that I cant get in the Naval Academy with my QPA. Then she told me to take my transcript to Joe Preston and Arlene Spector and see if they would write me a letter of recommendation. Then she asked me if I knew TEENIE HARRIS. I said no and she told me to get out her face and was serious about it. I just put up with her spitefulness until she got done rambling about how I would be able to pull my grad project off. She suggested that I do it on the military and how they use photgraphy. Sounds interesting but I'm going to have to ask almost every military personel I know to get this type of information.

Just to say, I went to her in the beginning because I thought for sure she could help. But everytime I talked or e-mailed her I got a bunch of questions back in return. It was annoying but I put up with it because I thought it would be awesome to get help from the inside. She really got on my nerves and I'm really thinking about failing just so I re-do the project the way I was going to do it. I might even get a new subject.

FML!!

I really need some help. This part is killing me, the literary review is not even necessary. It's really stressing me out.

I forgot my notes on my flashdrive at home. Plus I have to do an outline of my notes in order by a bunch of standards.

You can tell when the deadline is approaching, you start to get frustrated real easy.

Just Gotta Make It...

to graduation. I've made a lot of progress today, more than I usually do. I just sent my interview questions on their way and I'm about to tweak my foundation questions so that they can match my project completely.

Now that I've completed that, I have to really get busy and do all my notes so I can do my proposal and my Lit Review Outline.

She, savido, is really piling the work on. I didn't think it was this much work.

New Topic?!

A couple months ago I went to the Naval Academy... which was awesome. While I was there I had taken classes just like I would if I went there. One of the classes I had taken was Chemistry of Photography. We did a lab that day which got me thinking about my grad project (which I didn't want to think about). We developed our own pictures that we had taken with a pin hole camera. We went around campus, but stayed close to the building, and set up the pin hole cameras to take our pictures. The thing about it is that based on the weather conditions outside, it takes time for the pictures to get inverted on the film paper. It take 6 seconds, if super bright, to 2 minutes, if it's dark and gloomy, for it to be projected on the paper.

So I thought then like wouldn't it be awesome to see what style is better; Black and White versus Digital. So I kept the pictures and the lab sheet that I was given while there and showed Ms. Savido. She thought it was nice and I gave them to her for safe keeping.

I want to re-enact the lab as part of my grad project. Now Ms. Savido wants me to write down everything I need in order to complete the lab. So I decided that I might have to change the topic identity, purpose and title of my project. I just did and I like it much better now.

Progress?

I guess I made a little progress. I just set up and online interview thanks to Ms. Arenth. I'm starting on my notes, which takes a long time to do and complete.

Ms. Savido wants me to make a list of everything that is needed for developing pictures from film. I'm currently waiting to get a paper from her that I gave her at the end of 11th grade year. It's taking forever.

But I guess that I made a little bit of progress... right?

New Year, New Thought

It's a brand new school year, which means I have a lot of work and stress ahead of me. This grad project isnt getting any easier especially when Ms. Savido keeps adding new stuff to the requirements.

New thoughts are coming to my mind about how I should attack everything I need to do and how I'm going to do it. I want my stuff to be over the top, funny, and entertaining. My interview, questions and action plan is my main focus; that's what I'm doing now
