Looking good people...

These past couple of days (since my last post), my project has really began to take off and become a reality.The planned parenthood representative and myself have stayed in contact and really came up with a lot of great ideas. For now I am simply researching and gathering the background information that I need to do this project. I'm starting to get a real grasp on what exactly Planned Parenthood is about and what they offer. Hopefully, soon I will be returning back to the building to get a more "personal" connection with the workers there.

Sweet Victory...

Yesterday I took my idea about Planned Parenthood to work. I had a meeting with an old friend who works there and together we came up with some amazing ideas. From volunteer work to actually being in the clinic, im really excited that I now have not only a topic but a very good starting point.

When I went down there for my meeting, she gave me a tour of the building where I would be doing my volunteer work and she introduced me to everyone in the building. This meeting really put me at ease with my topic choice.

Art' though weekend swell?

This weekend as I was dusting my ficus I began to envision my new graduation project come to life. I was thinking of doing something involving Planned Parenthood and counseling teens. Maybe study the teen behavior and see exactly what changes happen when the teen has a place to go and get help.

Captains Log...

The other night I had the thoughts of coming up with a graduation project involving cinematography. I was thinking of talking about the process of making a movie and the different steps the director has to go through. I was also going to talk about the background of film making itself, starting with the past and going all the way to the future. Unfortunately this idea was taken from my grasps by Dorsey Wheeler,(no hard feelings Dorsey). So now I am back to square one...
