I've never really blogged before. The thought of everyone reading what I write seems kind of creepy. As a result, I have had some trouble learning to work everything, but I think I finally have it down. On Friday during Senior Thesis my work centered primarily around the college application process. I filled out a survey to give my councilor information should he wish to write me a letter of recommendation. Additionally, I revised my resumé, and ensured that I knew which schools were going on my list. For now, I am thinking of applying to Hillsdale College, Williams College, Chicago State University, Duke University, UT, and UTD. Today I submitted my thesis topic, removed the logo that was present when I downloaded the survey as my Braillenote was having trouble saving it, emailed the survey, and downloaded some documents that involve selecting a mentor. After that, I went to Mr. Villa's office to sign up for the visit with The University of Chicago, but it took longer than planned because I was having scheduling issues that needed to be worked out while he wasn't busy. When I got back, the bell was getting ready to ring, so I stopped work for the day.

Today I got help from Mr. Villa to fill out part of my common app I was having trouble with. I also talked to Mr. Satterino about a letter for a scholarship, and started working on the outline for the book I plan to write for my project. I plan to give everyone a copy during my presentation
