I'm Amazed. (Last day of Trimester one)

Well... I just turned in my proposal. FINALLY. I'm not sure if it's any good, I wrote it just now basically. But, I have it done. I've even filled out 2 note templates (And still going) and I've started on surveys/interview questions and 2 different power points.

I've collected what different sites have to say about different colors, and I'm working towards getting personal opinions from real people that I can actually see and talk to. I really need to get an interveiw done....

I'm sort of mad at myself, I probably could have had an interview or two done by now, along with the power point presentations, if I hadn't stressed out so much to begin with. Oi.

Oh well... I'm just happy that I get to take this lap top home, I will continue my work there, and won't forget my topic... Maybe I'll get a few questionares or interviews done (Still need a professional though).

I'll keep blogging here on my home computer if I can...

And once... I have to do this one...
SSSSSQQQQQQQUUUUUEEEEEEE!!!~
I feel accomplished,
And skewl is out!

Another idea.....

I can ask the class questions as a whole...
Ask how many people like red...
Then ask if they like sports, or are energetic.

Oooooookay....

So, Ms.S has agreed that my "How to heal with color" book is bogus. Now she wants me to steer in the direction of color psychology....

I've learned that there is such a thing as a fear of purple....

Anyways, I'm still lost with my proposal..... I did not understand a word Ms.S said really.

So Much Work, so Little to Show for it.

This is aggravating me. I have a D in this class all because I didn't respond to 2 stupid articles about other peoples grad projects. I could not stay focused on it, and I honestly believed it was no help to me....

And I've done all of this work, and I'm still no where.... I have a ton of sites, a ton of information, but without a final plan I can't do my proposal. I also have no idea how I'm supposed to plan all of this right now!!!!!!!! I have no idea what days I will have available a month or so from now in order to do this! I don't even know how she wants us to put this on a timeline.... That un-motivates me even further...

And now, I'm trying to think about creating a powerpoint that people won't be like "uuuuugggghhhh.... OOOOMMMMGGGGG thhhiiisssss isssss sooooo stttuuuiiiipppiiiid, whhhy are we doing thiiis mssssss.S? blah blah blah" like they do with everything else.....
And I don't even know if I can do that this trimester... And AARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

Well. . . Looks like I have work to do....

Ok, already threw the idea at Ms. S.... She suggested making a powerpoint and actually showing it to the class....
It's a bit less organized, but it might work...
Now I have to think about creating something for the students to fill out.....

Back to work!

I'm Wondering. . .


Can I start a new blog on this account dedicated to my colorful pictures?

Like, it would have at least one picture per entry, maybe a short description or fact... And maybe people could tell me what they think of it or how it makes them feel....


Like, those pictures in which the color is changed, which shows how important the color of something is...

For example,


Some one could say that this picture doesn't look very promising or clean...?

I'll have to ask ms.S...
But it would give me a good idea of how to conduct things or how to think about it... It might also help me figure out who may be interested in participating in my final outcome.

Ok, So Today. . . .

I've been working more on my webliography. Trying to add some of the new sites I stubled upon, fix up my annotations and ratings.

In the meantime I have been thinking about the interview, and then I'm just like Arrgh. I'm trying to do work on my webliography, my proposal, and think about contacts at the same time!

((Lauren is amazed by my blogging apparently... I thought that was interesting... Do I blog that often and type that much in my blog entries?))

Oh! By the way, I have added my questions in a text box at the side, and I'm trying to think more about my keywords >_<

Hey, I'm Trying. . . .

Ok, I'm really really starting to get stressed out with the whole "knowing your topic" thing... I believe most of my knowing my topic will come from the experament. But I AM trying. I've found a ton of sites (again) most of which give theit own opinions of the emotions certain colors inspire, but it's progress. I also need to work more on my webliography, and make it a point to put things on my H drive.

Then I'm still stormning interview possibilities. Like, the other day, when going to curcuit City, I noticed a "Fire Dog" room.... It's bright lim green, the whole little room.... So I want to go back there, and ask that person a few questions about how it makes them feel.
But, thats not really considered an interview... I'm still looking for phychiatrists or room designers. I would prefure a personal interview, sound recorded... but I suppose beggers can't be choosers.

I'm also glancing a bit at a mood ring point of view of it, as suggested by Ms. S....
Anyways, here are some of the links so that I don't lose them >_<

Well... It could be worse...

I at least know that I have enough sources... I just have to summarize them, and figure out a few things I might have missed. Now I am still un-focused, but to the point where I want to blankly stare at my computer rather than type and rant in circles until I can get myself back on track...

Basically.... I have flown myself waaaay off track...

FOCUS!!! AHHHH!!!

Ok, so I lost focus... And now I'm stressing about how I lost focus and find myself un-able to find focus again, so I'm going to rant in circles about how un-focused I am until I find focus again. This is one of the last chances I have to turn the webli-- I give up trying to spell it, in.... I mean, I'm already doing horrible in this class as it is....

I did get some work done, but that's not helping me.... I'm getting depressed because what I have done is no where near good enough if you ask me... And I hate turning in work that I wouldn't approve of and expect the teacher to approve of it.

I still can't find my focus anymore... All I was doing was recording the sites and adding summary's.... and then I'm just like... I really don't want to do this... and it's giving me a headache...It's not that hard, I'm just a really unfocused stupid un-skilled procrastinator.

Do Not Disturb....

Well, I really need to overcome my procrastination and focus issues, but I'm really really trying to get something done right now, and wanted to include that here for a minute....
My webli... whatever thing... Is probably going to suck, and I hate turning in crappy work, but I have to.... right?

So here goes nothing... Wish me luck.

All Honesty...

I am way behind. I only have the outline of my proposal completed because I believe that I can't really do much until my project starts getting under way. I spent the whole class thinking about that and stressing. I am also surprised that I have yet to be sent to the guidance counselor.

AARRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I'm beginning to second guess my project, there are no real ways to verify if my sites are credible or if there are any real credible sites. So I'm like... AAARRRGGGGHHH... Honestly, my webliography still isn't done, I've been stressing out trying to get it done, but I fail miserably.

Today, while looking at someone elses MLA thing.... I wanted to launch myself out of a window... It was wonderful, had authors, it was credible....

AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! and again AHHHHHHHH~!!!! I'm having a mental breakdown right now.
I'm a worthless pathetic human being who can't do MLA and is falling behind like crazy
I have no future
I'm a failure
and I'm like...... AAHHHHHH.....
Someone throw me out of the window.... Really....
