Mentor Meeting 5/23

Today I met with Ms. Maddren and we discussed Luke's presentation, my presentation, and my race for the most part.  It's always good to just be able to be really honest in how I am feeling towards my project in my meetings.

I admitted that after Luke's presentation I was a bit worried about my own.  His was so interactive, but that was also the nature of his project.  Ms. Maddren reminded me that not all projects will be like that and while I don't want mine to be totally boring, it is not as easy to display what I learned or provide examples.

She helped me with presentation ideas- the possibility of having three "themes."  I need to re-read my whole blog by the end of the weekend for my narrative anyway, so that will help determine the themes.

I also went and talked to Mr. Heurich about blog binding today.  We made a plan to meet Tuesday 6th period to do that because I would really like to have a reflective post after the race in the final product before it is bound, so it needs to wait a little longer.  The issue with that is if it doesn't work out, I don't have any other times I can do it before my written work needs to be handed in in a hard copy form (by 3:32 Tuesday).

I run my last training run tomorrow before the race on Sunday!  I haven't been eating as well today because it has been hard for me to stomach food easily (a recent event is making my stomach feel uneasy most of the time) but I hope it will be better tomorrow.  I have been hydrating well especially because of the heat.  It looks like the weather will be nice for the race, fingers crossed!
