March 25

Well the presentation of my project I thought went good, but the grade says other wise. I got a C, but me as well as many others think I should have gotten an A. I hope I can get a copy of the grading sheets and the video and look over it to see if I really deserved it or not.

I turned in the final copy of my paper and I have been updating my website and need to do more work on that, right now it keeps freezing so hopefully it will work better so I can finish. I need an A on my paper and website to get an A in the class. Mr. Z has edited my paper and webtsite and thinks I should get an A, so hopefully Mrs. Fossum will feel the same.

March 5

Yesterday I had my first practice for my presentation and I think I did very well, except for saying "What not" but I'll work on that. Yesterday I also finished all the final touches on my model engine and I'm will probably bring that in by Friday for my second presentation. Today I made a few modifications to my PowerPoint and it looks a lot better. I added pictures from when i went to the SAE World Conference in April last year.

I talked to a friend of mine who is also going to give me a Big Turbo to help present my project, which is a good visual. Everything is good and I'm ready to present again Friday and Next monday.

February 22

Well at the beginning of the week I finally got my first draft back and this week I have been changing it from first person to third person. I also did some edits and changes myself and had some other people look over it. It seems to be really good!

Today I'm going to try and call someone about getting an engine to rebuild. I also worked with sketchup this week.

February 1

First of the month.

Today I updated my paper once again with my second round of edits thanks to Erin Fitz. So now I'm going to turn that in and check on my PowerPoint because today I'm going to present to the 11th graders about the graduation project process and everything and finding a good topic.

January 30

I have been working on my paper and editing it. Yesterday I got Mr. Z to edit my edits and today I made a lot of changes to my paper. I am going to look over the paper myself again and probably have my dad look over it to make sure it's OK.
