This blog for today should count for two blogs because yesterday I tried to get on and blog but it was not working right and was saying something about cookies.

Yesterday I did a lot of work. I finish my folder and turned it in. I did my action plan, proposal, interview sheet, and a cover page. I tried really hard to do good on my project yesterday and I hope I get a good grade.

Today there is not much left for me to do but blog.

So this is my blog for today and yesterday.

July 16, 2007

Today I did my proposal. I am almost done but I still have to to my action plan. I was susposed to take my stuff home but I had to go to work and did not get a chance to do it.

The day I missed your class and didn't get to blog

There are some days when I was not in your class or did not come to school and I did not get a chance to blog, so this is one big blog for all the days. The days was absent were- 6/13, 6/19, 7/3, 7/9, and 7/11. That mean that my blog will be 5 days behind.

So far I still have a lot of work to do. I have to start my visual project and write my paper. I got all my notes done and my interview. The lady I did my interview with is going to have to call or something so I can get my credit. To night I am going to start my action plane and my proposal.

July 13, 2007

Today I worked on my proposal pre-writing questions. I am behind because I missed some days of school. Two of the days I missed are excused because I had to go to the hospital. I am going to take my folder and my computer home over the weekend so I can finish my work because I really want a either a "A" or "B" in this class.

July 5, 2007

Today I worked on my proposal. I think I am going to have to do some work over the break. I don't know if I am going to have my paper finished but I do want to have it started by next tri-mester.

July 3, 2007

Today I came to class more that 30 minutes late and was marked absent. I worked on my proposal and when I got on my dashboard I saw that I got a zero, but I don't know why because I turned my paper in on time. So I guess I will just have to up load it.

June 28,2007

Today I did more work on my out line. So far it is four pages long and I have a lot of notes, but I still need more. I took a lot of time working on my out line and its still not done. I hope I do good on it because I was really tyring hard.

All the other days I didn't blog.

For a couple days I didn't blog. This is because I was so caught up in doing my work and getting it done that I forgot. Some of the things I forgot to blog about was my inter view. My interview was with one of my grandmothers co-workers who works in Washington D.C. I accidental forgot to give her the paper to fill out so I guess I'm going to get a few point off. I also forgot to blog the day I took my books to the library.

June 27, 2007

Today I finally got my notes checked. It took me a while to get them check but when I finally did I go an A. I still have to do my interview plan, but its going to be very late. I was looking at my grade in this class and I really want an A, so that means I going to have to try my best and turn everything in on time.

June 26, 2007

I stared my outline today. The outline is helping me find out what areas I need to find more notes for. So far all my stuff is going well.

June 14, 2007

Today I took more notes. Right know I have 4 pages of notes. I learn a lot more about the great seal. On thing I did not know was that it took 6 years to create it and the help of 14 people. Tomorrow I plan to finish taking my notes on my first 10 sources. After I'm done with my first ten I want to go to the library and get some more books on my topic.

June 13, 2007

Today I had an interview with one of my grandmas friends. She told me a little bit about what she does at work then she was talking about some of the symbols she noticed on the dollar bill and what she thought they were about.

June 12, 2007

Today I took some more notes. Now I have two pages. I think I am going to start taking notes on my sources from our webliography then I will add more on as I go along. I think some time this week I am going to take my books back and get some more.

June 6, 2007

Today I started to take notes on my topic. I was checking my emails and was surprised to see that someone from the Pennsylvania grand lodge emailed me back. Although he said he would not be able to do an interview he gave me a link to an article written on my topic by a 33 degree mason. The link is http://www.calodges.org/no355/eye.html.

June 4, 2007

Today I sent an email to the Grand Freemason. Hopefully he will get back to me and let me know if we will be able to do an interview via email or phone. I would do the interview in person but his main office is in Philadelphia.

June 1, 2007

Two days ago our class went to the library. I got two books (Paper Money of the United States) and (World Paper Money). Today I did my glossary for my top. I chose 10 words that I'm going to use the most in my paper then I wrote a definition for each.

May 21, 2007

I have to finish my 10 question about my topic. I need help making my one broad topic. My main focus of my project is about the dollar but know I'm thinking that I could make it on
Secret Society 's in America.

May 18, 2007

Today I finished my Webliography. I did not think I was going to get it all done so yesterday I took and home and did some. I think I did good on it. I double checked it and everything looked OK. I had Amber check over it and she said it look OK and told me some ways I could change it and make it better.

May 16, 2007

Today I did my Webliography. I did not get done with it but I have 7 so far. I found a lot of really good places with the information about my topic. I think this was a good idea because next year when we have to do our sour citations we will already have 10.

May 14, 2007

Today I made the changes I needed on my proposal and got it accepted. All I need to do is revise it for my final copy and it will be done. I worked on my webliography but I'm not done. I'm glad that on Wednesday we will be in this class for two hours because I will really be able to get a lot of work done.

May 10, 2007

Today I finished my poster (the right way). I had a talk with Mrs. Fossum and she gave me ideas I could do on my project. I have to think about somethings I can do with my topic, then she will approve it. Today for homework I plan to think of some project ideas and write then in my proposal.

May 9, 2007

Today I worked on my proposal and power point. I'm ready to start looking for reliable sources, I think I will start that tomorrow. Today I was telling my friend about my graduation project and she really liked my idea, she even wants me to help her find a topic. In her school she dose not start her project until next year, but know she is going to start it after seeing my work so far.

May 8, 2007

Today I was finishing my poster on photoshop. I found out a lot more about my topic. When I got done with my project I noticed I was doing it wrong so know I have to go back and re-do the hole thing.

May 7, 2007

Today I finally know what my project is going to be about... I going to do my project on the dollar bill and the facts and mysteries of it. Today I was working on my poster but I did not finish it but I still have time tomorrow. When I was looking for some images I could use on my poster and I found out a lot of new information. And my Grandma said that if I do my project on money she would take me to Washington D.C.

May 3, 2007

To day I was trying to decided which topic I was going to make. I look a lot at the 1992 LA Riots and found out a lot about Rodney King. Did you know that Rodney won 3.8 million dollars and he tried to start a record label and released an album, but his success as a rapper failed. I really didn't look to much into the Free Masons.

April 30, 2007

Today I answered 25 questions about myself. Then I picked 10 that I could research about. One of the question was about two places I would like to visit. I chose California and Europe. Then I stared to thing maybe I could do a project on one of these places. For example if I did my project on Europe I could talk about there fashion. These questions helped me to see something about myself that I never noticed.

April 28, 2007

Right now I have two project ideas that I really want to do. My first idea was to do a project on the History and Mysteries of the Dollar Bill. I was going to talk about the Free Masons and their influence on the dollar bill and some of the speculations about the designs on the bill. I was also going to talk about what the government says bout the design of the bill. My other idea was going to be about the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. I really don't know much about this except for the Rodney King verdict and the Latasha Harlins incident, but this is a subject that I am really interested in.
