Getting there
So I'm getting there. Yesterday I had to go up to the library after school to actually work on it since the internet in my house went haywire but I got like eight questions down. I have my foundation question though I'm still figuring out how I could write it better but I have it. I started collecting websites. I'll turn those into a webliography soon and I've started my proposal. So yeah. I guess I'm getting somewhere but probably not as fast as I should be. I'll get it though....

Senior year.....Oy
So, yesterday marked the second day of Senior year. That's thrilling and exciting. Not really.
Good news though. I HAVE A PROJECT! Yay? Yes, yay.
I technically did this way out of order but okay, I did the action plan like almost three weeks ago now because I'm using my Gold Award which we finished with success! Yay us! But I'm only using my day that I planned and that doesn't seem like enough so I thought I would try to get a hold of an older troop and see if I could work with them because yeah....I worked with younger Girl Scouts so now it's time to work with older scouts.
I have to start all the other stuff over now though. I'm working on questions as I type and as soon as I find my memory card, I'll be getting pictures off my camera and putting them on the computer. Just need to do the research stuff (ugh).

Where am I?
If you're asking me this question than that makes two of us. With my proposal, I have nothing but those few things I had answered on the Pre-write template thing. At least today I managed to come up with an essential question that I can live with. It still doesn't seem right but I'll live with it. I would have to say that my next step is to try to get things done on my proposal but with the way it looks right now, I kind of doubt that I'll get anything done in time.

I'm really ready to quit
I know that's not the smartest thing to do considering you need this to graduate but still. I'm ready to just say "Go away I'm not doing this." I honestly don't have the attention span to do anything even if it does interest me. And that's another thing! Why am I going to take something I love to do and ruin it by making it work? That is so ridiculous because when it does get turned into work then I just don't want to do it because it doesn't interest me anymore. That's exactly where I am at the moment. I want nothing to do with photography and it's this projects fault. It's taken one of the greatest things in my life and just ruined it.
I can't think in this class. Everyone seems to have all these really great ideas and I have mine and compared to everyone elses, it sucks, but even though it sucks, I know where I want to go with it just not how to get there. I can't even come up with a decent essential question to go along with what I want to do. Yes, I don't have an essential question yet and I think that's why I'm so stuck. Well one of the reasons. A big reason. But whatever!
As for my proposal. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. Even thinking about working on that at the moment makes me want to curl up in a corner by myself where there is no such thing as graduation projects.

Did You Know.....
- Rolled film first appeared in 1884 thanks to the creator of the Kodak cameras, George Eastman
- Photography is derived from the Greek words photos which means light and graphein which means to draw
- Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre invented the first practical photography process called daguerreotype

I've hit a snag
So I'm having some troubles with my essential questions partly because I haven't exactly figured out what I want to do for my actual project. Like I kind of wanted to organize a gallery kind of thing, but I don't see that as having anything to do with my project. So I don't know. If anyone has any ideas that could possibly help me, much appriciated.

Look what you can get down when you set your mind to it
So I did switch my topic. My project is now going to be on photography and I'm thinking I'm going to stick with Macrophotography and probably water shots. I'm working on where I'm going to go with this because I kind of need my essential question still. But just within today, I got my new collage done as well as my key terms and I have a good list of sites that I need to turn into my webliography.
