Blog #11: Holiday Project Update

1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?

Honestly, over the Christmas break I really took advantage of the opportunity to wind down from all the high school work studying for college classes. I didn't give any of my time toward working on my senior project. I spent the holidays with loved ones like they should be celebrated. I absolutely understand that its a good idea to work on the project over the break, but I personally thought it was a better idea for me to use it as an actual break and help me refresh and rekindle my energy and drive to actually work on the project when I return to school. Also, my mentor was on holiday break and there wasn't much more I could study without her especially because my EQ and topic are beaded on the academic aspect of researching and studying social psych.

2. What is the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?

With nothing to specifically work on, and no research or things to catch up on, I did not further my research for Soc. Psych. because I did not have any resources available over the break. As well as the fact that there hasn't been any other part of the project assigned, I have no where to go from. Do you get me? I feel confident that I have completed all parts of the project, to this point, to the best of my ability. And my mentor was on break just as well as I was, and there was no way for me to work on mentorship hours or anything, any other way.

3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

I definitely would love to ask my mentor the questions to help me answer my EQ because I don't know anyone more knowledgable than her on the topic. And because my EQ specifically talks about the research involved, and she is currently teaching a class about the research, I know she will be the best person to go to.
