Well, it's the end of week eight, which could only mean one thing. We only have two weeks left! Yeah! Of course, this also means that I only have two weeks to pull this project together. I am happy to say, that I am up for the challenge. My goal for this week was to complete all of week eight's assignments, as well as revise a couple of my genre. Well, I accomplished my goal, sord of.

I began this week by writing my preface, acknowledgements, and about the author sections for the MRP. This was actually the easiest thing that I have completed thus far. Of course, the acknowledgements section was a no brainer. Who do I have to thank for contributions to my project? You, of course! I'm glad that we were actually given the opportunity to provide this with our MRP. I have received so much support from each of you. Thanks again! The about the author section was also pretty easy. I'm still an undergraduate student, so I don't have too much information to provide. Hopefully, when I'm older and have been an SLP for a while, I will have more to write. My preface took me the longest to write of the three. It wasn't really difficult, I just had to do some thinking about everything that I have done so far and what made me do the things that I did. In other words, exactly why did I choose certain genres? I think that reflecting upon these things helped me in realizing how everything is going to come together, which leads me to my next point. I, too, have reached my "tipping point." I actually have Frances to thank for that. Thank you Frances! I've decided to combine the journal entries from the parent and use them to integrate all of my genres. I will insert the genres into the journal entry. Of course, I will have to add to the journal entry, but that's not a problem. Speaking of genres, I did spend an hour at the library on Saturday revising my PowerPoint. Wasn't I surprised when the computer decided to shut down while I was in the process of saving my work. Of course, my revisions were not saved and I had to go to work so I didn't have time to do it over at the time. While such an incident would usually leave me wanting to cry, I didn't. I just laughed. I really don't know why. I think it's because I really don't have the time to stress over this right now. So, as a result, I will be spending my next day off, which is tomorrow, re-revising my PowerPoint. I'll also be revising some of my other genres. I hope to revise all of them by the end of the week. Anyway, I also peer reviewed some of the work of my peers this week. Like I said last week, this has really been helping me as well. When I'm reviewing their work, I catch things that I feel they should address in their work that I realize I also should address in my own work. Who would of thought I would realize shortcomings in my own work by reviewing another's work? By the way girls, you have been doing very well. Keep up the good work!

We also met at the Moo on Tuesday to meet with teachers and answer some of their questions. The guests in our group seemed very enthused about this project. They asked so many questions. I actually felt like we were, in some wierd way, teaching them. I hope that they like the results of our projects. I think they will.

All in all, I feel that I accomplished a lot this week. I feel relieved to finally realize how I am going to pull it all together. I just hope everything goes according to plan. I'm sure it will. Good luck to all of you in the final weeks!

Oh yeah, I don't have any questions at this time.
