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.

my topic?


I think i will pursue car customizations. I am thinking about calling a few customization businesses and talking with them to set up times for me to come in and get some experience or at least some knowledge as to what exactly goes into customizing. So i think i actually found my topic.

Car Customization

So today I have narrowed my search down even more. I am leaning towards car customizations because I have always been into stuff like that. I have done it games and thought of many great designs. It's not just the design part it's the performance aspects too. This topic seems like a greater possiblity than the others because I can't think of the essential question for the other possible topics. We'll just have to see what happens.

narrowing it down

im narrowing down my topics. I still don't think I'm getting close enough to finalize it, but the two topics are sports (basketball or football) and the other would have to do with driving. One thing to consider is I like dogs though. Only time will tell which is best for me to choose.

???? HELP ???

I have a small knowledge of what i want my topic about. I have narrowed it down to between 3 different things that i really enjoy, and within those subjects are a few subtopics that i might try to pair up with them. It's somewhere between sports which would be basketball or football. It could be about cars or driving. The last thing it could be about helping out at anything. I know that's too broad of a topic but I haven't quite narrowed it down yet. As you see I'm still very undecided. Hopefully I will figure out what i want to do and do it soon!

my real first blog

i've heard that the grad projects are taken seriously and are no joke. they cane be hard at times but if you get your work done and work steady it's easier than it seems and sounds. my project might have something to do with driving, cars, video games, or basketball, or even football. something that i enjoy. my concern is not finishing it outside of this class when it's more independent because i tend to procrastinate. overall i think ill do okay as soon as i figure out what i want to do.
