Week Three Evaluation

This week was much harder then the other two for obvious reasons. I had to finish the guide, put a show together, and do them at the same time. By the beginning of this week I had finished just about all the text to the guide. Now I just needed to design it so it was appealing to an ADD Freshman. I had fun designing it, but too much of anything gets old after a while.

This week was pretty stressful, but I have come to find that I do some of my best work under stress. With less time to work, I feel like I work faster and harder. Watching my guide come together by my own hands was an awesome experience. I like to look at this 31 page document and know that I created every piece of it (Excluding of course the cover page that was created graciously by Will Cudahy). After putting so much time into it, I really hope people will enjoy reading it and that it actually will help freshman. It’s been a great learning experience, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to do it.

Friday, end of week three

What was the end of senior project for many students has ended up just being another day of senior project for me. I will continue to work on the guide over the weekend, and hopefully have it up on the Proctor website by Tuesday! I have been picking away at the design for several days now, and finally I am getting close to the end. I'm hitting a slight road block right now, as I get to the Dining Hall section. It is going to require a lot of picturse that I need from the Dining Hall. Easy to get, but will take time never-the-less (does that saying of hyphens?). But the Dining Hall chapter is 9 out of 12 chapters, so I'm getting close to the end! Work on it today and Sunday should result in a completion by Monday or Tuesday!
I'm on my final lap! Whoohoo!

So busy, I forgot Thursday!

Will the showing finally coming together and opening night being tonight, I am becoming very very busy. I have all text for the guide written, now I am just working on the design.
With twelve chapters though, the design is going to take a while. I am going to be working on it throughout the weekend and hopefully I will be able to turn something in Monday/Tuesday! I would write a longer post, but as I've said, I'm very busy! I'll keep you updated.
