Today in thesis Maria and I collaborated on our upcoming thesis presentation. We are in progress on our script and we still need to create a visual aid of some sort.

Today in Thesis class I got my internship badge so I can leave to meet my mentor if necessary. I also reviewed my transcript to make sure I have all the requirements to graduate. Then I worked on my common application and researched colleges. 

Today in Thesis Class, I spent half the period attempting to get internship badges (unsucessfully), and the other half researching SUNY Albany. I have also refined my colleges to 7 total, now. These include University of Maryland- College Park, SUNY Albany, University of Minnesota- Twin Cities, Washington State University, UTD, Austin College, and TAMU- Commerce. If I had to pick a top college, it is a close run between Maryland and Albany, but I think I will favor Albany. However, I will only make my desicion once admission statements are recieved and I have toured the colleges.

Thesis Class

Most of class I spent reorganizing all of my school work, since the way I was organizing it previously was not working out. This also involved making my own binder for college applications to keep straight all of the passwords and due dates and such. I have also been researching Peace Corps information, since I will be applying after I graduate college, and I need to know what experience will be required.

Thesis class on 9/11/12

I spent my class time starting my account on Apply Texas, and starting my application to A&M, A&M Commerce, UTD, and Austin College. We also collaborated with Ms. Ellis, our previous theater teacher and temporary mentor about our proposals to theaters. We will begin working on our presentation to the class soon.

Thesis Class on 9/7/12

I spent my class time making an account to start my application to SUNY Albany, and filling in basic information. I researched important information about the application and researched possible ideas for the essay topic. I will possibly analyze the painting Winter Solstice by Roger Winter, a prominent dallas artist, however, I am debating whether that would be an impressive essay or not. I have already analyzed it and seen it up close in person, and I think I could make a strong argument.

Thesis Class

Today in Thesis, I worked on paperwork for a leadership team I am a part of, as well as work on my application to University of Minnesota. I also completed updating my resume for college applications.

Thesis Class

In Thesis class, I finished my senior survey, after complications with my flash drive. I also started to revise my college resume, when the netbook automatically restarted for some new update. While waiting for it to resume, I started reading in a theater textbook I bought from Half Price Books and helped Maria take her picture for her SAT registration. The netbook came-to with only a minute left in class, so I will be finishing the revisions at home.

Planning Board

Here is a picture of our planning board. We started this over the summer to try and keep organized. It has some basic ideas like the names of plays we were looking into and our ideas for them. Since we chose Alice in Wonderland, we also found some names of companies to buy the rights for the show, as well as basic procedures for gaining the rights. We have also listed the theaters we are looking at, and their contact info. We brainstormed fundraising ideas beyind asking for donations, and for what we would need the money. (Porops, sets, costumes, possibly lights and sound, etc.) This will not be a place for our primary records, but it helps to organize everything happening at the moment.
