Paper

The thesis statement is staying the way it is. Everything else I write sounds bad. I started writing the paper today. I have half of a page so far.

Thesis Statement

I have a thesis statement! I think I'm gonna work on it a little more though. I don't feel like it is perfect yet.

Mentor

I met my mentor today. I drove around in search of her house, passing it twice. I finally got there and met her. She talked about what we were gonna do, and even offered to let me borrow some videos on taxidermy next time we get together. This weekend might possibly be my first lesson: skinning the animal. She has a bob cat, I think thats what she said, that needs to be skinned so she can send it off to the tanner. So I am going to help her and get the feel of it and some hands on experience. I'm kind of excited and nervous, just because I don't know how it will affect me. I think I'll be fine though.

Day 5

I found a mentor! Her name is Paula Watson. I'm meeting with her on Monday at 5pm.

Day 4

I am writing my letter of intent today. It's not as hard as I thought it was going to be.

I have to find a mentor today. I found a woman that does taxidermy. I'm excited about that. Now I just have to call her.

Day 3

Today I am looking up some information about taxidermy and trying to decide what to do my paper on.

Day 2

Today we went over some of the forms that we have to turn in Monday. I did some research on taxidermy and the different methods that are used. I still need to find a mentor. That is my goal for the night.

First Day

Today is the first day we have really started on the graduation project. I have decided to do my project on taxidermy. In class today we talked about the project. We shared our topics with the class. I made a Google Site and a Blogger account for my project. I'm not sure how to use a Google site yet, so I will be in the process of figuring that out. Now I just have to find a mentor.
