~~Thank You letter~~

Today in class I finished my thank you letter to my mentor for helping me with my graduation project. I still have to write him a thank you letter and my other mentor for my internship. I am still working on my notes. I am going to work more on it at home as well.

~~YAY~~

I am so happy that it is Friday. Even though I have to work tomorrow I'm glad I don't work today. I usually work Fridays but today I don't and I'm glad. I can go home and take a nap if I want to. I think I'm getting alot of stuff done for the project except the notes. I still have to find 2 more web sites and then use my books. Hopefully I will get it done soon.

~~Interview~~

I had my interview yesterday with my mentor at my internship. I learned alot about what real and the show CSI's really do. He told me that real CSI's do not carry guns and do not interrogate the suspects. I never knew that. I guess from watching the show I thought that they do. I guess I was one of those people who believe what the show CSI does as well.

I am still working on my notes.

Right now I am on my article section of my notes. It's going good so far. I highlighted the things I thought were necessary. Once I am done with the highlighting then I will type them into my notes.

~~Today~~

Today in class I had my notes checked and graded for how much I have done so far. I got an A on it!!! I am so happy because I needed a good grade in order to bring my grade that I have now up. I am trying to get a B in this class. I want an A put I do not want to push my luck.

~~Monday~~

In class we were taking notes the whole class day. I started to organize my notes. I copied and pasted the notes that bet answered my essential questions.

~~Notes~~

Today in class we were taking notes for our graduation topics. I found alot of information that has helped me with my essentail questions and learn much more. I found out in one of the articles from my web site was how long it actually takes to solve a crime and howlong it takes to run tests on evidence that you find.

~~Friday~~

Tomorrow is the day of my ACT test!!! I keep studying math but I don't think the things that I learned will really help me when it comes for the test. You only have an hour to do 60 questions. There is no way I can get that many done and right by that time. I just can't wait until it's over and done with. Maybe I won't be so nervous afterwards.

~~Thursday~~

Lately I have been worrying about my ACT's that is coming up! We took a practice test in English and we had 35 minutes to read and answer 40 questions!! I only go up to question 20!! I am so nervous about this test. Everyone is telling me not to panic but that's what I usually do and I can't help myself.

~~Wednesday~~

Today in class we had to write down the guidelines for our notes for our topics. I left my books for my topic at home. so instead I am just looking at the articles that I found on the web sites we had to look for.

~~Friday~~

Today we are looking for words that we would use when we discuss about our topics. I am so happy today is Friday. I don't have to go to work today and I am happy about that because it gives me some time to relax and hang out with my family. Even though I work tomorrow I'm glad that I am off today.

~~Library~~

The other day we went to the library to find the books we wrote down for our graduation project topic. I couldn't find the books that I wrote down but I didn't find some good books that can help me with my project.
