rEAL crunch time

It's time to get stuff turned in that wasn't before. Get the grades up! And to take this more seriously than before because the trimester is winding down and I need to give my all in everything I do from now on! So far I'm getting on the right track. We'll see what happens...

Today I...

Today I was seriously working on my notes. I got down to business because it's crunch time. I have to get done what I need to get done and quick. I've actually been doing well. I received an e-mail from 1 of the places I'd like to interview telling me that they sent it to the owner to see if I can interview someone. So I'm happy with where I'm at so far.

:(

Since Mrs. Savido said my did you know's was 'crap' I'm re-doing them. It greatly hurt my self esteem but I will just re-submit them soon. Right now I am on track gathering notes, trying to set up interviews, and getting myself together. So far so good I'm sticking to my word...

A NEW CHANDLER

After presenting I have noticed that I can no longer slack off because a year is given. I need to put forth the effort in every aspect of this project. I did very well on the presentation and got some questions that made me realize that there are some opportunities for me to interview a few people. I am vowing to turn everything in on time and show that i can do this. If not then i dont know but I'm still vowing to do so. We' just see what happens...

TOPIC!!!!!

im pretty sure im going to stick with this topic. i am known for changing my mind if something doesn't keep my interest. I am doing car customizations. I want to know why people do them but that question will be change. I've been fascinated with cars since i was 3 or 4 years old and the fascination never wore off. I love when cars are customized from exterior to interior to performance modifications i love every aspect of it. So now lets hope that i stay with this topic and do well on it.
