So I had my first mentor meeting on Friday morning before school, and it went really well! I'm not too surprised though because it was with Ms. Zaryski and we are very comfortable around each other. We actually have a little bit of a history because I was in her training choir at CSMA when I was 7 years old! And now I'm in the IHS choir that she fabulously leads!
I mainly just talked about my project ideas and explained to her where I got my inspiration from. We haven't had a chance to go over my proposal together yet (as I shared it with her school account, not her gmail account), and hopefully we can go more in depth about my goals the next meeting.
She also shared with me some of the experiences she had when she was Michael Stern's WISE mentor last year. One thing she said to me was that if planning specific days for journal entries helps, then do that. But if it doesn't, just write whenever I feel the need to write something, which is what I decided to do on Friday.
However, more thoughts about that have popped into my brain. This week, I've experienced that it's very hard for me to get WISE work done when I'm not at school, and I've gotten less done than I've planned to and have also been doing research and drawing in a "last minute" sort of pace. I would like to veer away from that...so I'm thinking about writing a journal entry every day now, just to make sure that I do at least some work every day on my project, whether it's reflection, hands on, planning, or research. Of course, some will be much shorter than others will, but they'll be something.
More ideas and plans for next week to come soon.
