Quick events through September
Well through out September not a lot of things have happened just usually small events like an acoustic events. Those events usually start until 6 then ends till like 10 or 11. My mentor had to talk to people that just wanted to play for the people and no money which is very difficult because a lot of bands or solo artists can be very greedy so its not easy to book. From that we had design our little stage and mark our on equipment for no body would steal it. These events are very small but they can be very busy. My mentor ship sounds lame and boring I know, but in October there is going to be a huge event which i'm looking forward too and its going to be fun meeting the photographers that are selling there pictures.

Blog 5: Pentagon
The Pentagon:
(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
- What i have completed so far is actually getting comfortable with the other interns and getting use to going to the gallery. Its really fun especially when you get to meet other artists and figure how they started their career. The great thing about this is that I actually get to set up things and be involved with everybody and not feel left out.
(2) EQ Content: Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
- Well one of my research was actually given to me by my mentor which has a lot of information of how to run a gallery or organize it, whatever you want to be in the art business. Its very helpful and explains what to do and how to do it.
(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
- Well things have been going good with almost every thing and with my hours are working well because now that I also have ROP photography it works out even more. At the gallery it helps with what people have to do and how to get to represent an artist and what their all about. Its interesting and the events are great with new talent and other photographers.
(4) What hasn't worked so far?
- Not a lot of people go through out the week so its very slow. It has specific days when its full but its rare, its mainly full on the weekends or specific days. Usually through out the week we just organize then do nothing at the end.

Blog 3: Topic Choice & Semester 1 ESLR Goals
1.Topic: Photography (Music)
2. What do you plan to do this year to show growth in each of the ESLR's? Be specific and use an example. Examples can come from senior project, model assembly, core and or participation in senior class ASB or other organization on campus.
-Ipoly Citizen- This year as the last year as being an Ipoly Citizen i'm planning to try my hardest and not goof as much. Also not to be to late for school and get rid of my test anxiety.
-Executive Leaner- This year I definitely just want the year to be over with and have my test anxiety gone and prove people that Ipoly isn't impossible just very difficult (lol). To use time wisely and procrastinate as always and just have every thing before hand.
-Effective User Of Technology- I was hoping to have a good topic and right enough information or just a large amount of it. Nothing that has commentaries which is almost everything. I just want to have a legit presentation.
-Effective Communicator- Asking a lot of questions. With Christina the owner of SPACE I ask questions on how things work and whatever else she does to get the good idea on my project. Which im pretty excited for my interview with her. Anyways I just to need to ask the right ask questions about anything with this topic and it can help with my research by expanding it.
