Everything Coming Together
Today has been a crazy day! During my lunch period I went to Mr. Cowell for help with the laser cutter. I got my first sheet done. This includes H and J Building. I plan on getting everything cut out this week and assembling it all at home before my presentation. Hopefully everything works out and I will be able to complete my project.
Along with finishing the physical part of my project I am working on my commentary and narrative essay. I plan on finishing both tonight and turning everything in on Thursday to my evaluators, mentor, and teacher. This week has been very stressful and will probably continue to be so, but I am confident that I can get it done.

Starting the Gym
Another crazy busy weekend. Prom and work kept me busy! I am running out of time real fast! I got the gym started and hope to finish it tomorrow! Tuesday I need to work on my papers and finish all the AutoCAD work so I can cut! Here is what I have for the gym so far. I have to old gym pretty much done, and most of the new gym. I don't have time to go crazy with details like I wanted to, but it is pretty good!

Laser Cutter, YAY! Oh wait, it didn't work...
So I went to Mr. Cowell's today to use the laser cutter. I was all excited to see if it would actually cut all my small lines. I asked Mr. Cowell for help (he is always awesome about helping me), and we started it up! I took the sheet out, and it didn't cut all the way through! It cut all the correct lines, it just didn't go all the way through.

It came out really well, except for not cutting through. Cowell and I changed some settings on the laser cutter and tried it again. This is what happened...
I'm not quite sure what happened, but I know it isn't right. I will have to try it again soon. Mr. Cowell said that someone is going to clean the cutter soon. I will have to try it then. Hopefully we can figure it out!

G and K building done
This is the next part of the stock board that I will be cutting. A reminder, when I say "the next part" or "the next piece", each section of stock board is 12"x24", I can't fit the entire school on one sheet, so I have to divide it all. This is the second sheet.

Sample Presentation
Yesterday all WISE students had to go to a sample presentation to see what it is all about. Tyler presented on Economics. I think it was a really good example of what the presentation consists of. It also taught me that you really have to keep an eye on the time. Tyler ran out of time at the end which, I think, effected his reflection part of the presentation a lot. Mine and his presentation are alike in the way that we both have vocabulary and terms that not everyone knows. He presented those in a list format and explained them all. I personally thought that it could have been done better, so that showed me what to not do. Overall I think that he did an awesome job for being first! Thanks Tyler for helping me!

Long time no work
Ugh! I haven't even thought about my project since last Wednesday. With senior events and the senior trip I have been so busy! I need to start working real hard if I want to get this done. My things need to be turned in next week! I want to get G and K building completely done by Wednesday. Maybe I can also start cutting on the laser cutter this week? We will see...

G Building Complete
So I finally got G building done. It didn't take too long, it was very similar to H building, just a little different. As of right now I do not have the roofs of the building modeled and ready to cut out, I plan on doing that last. I am mostly focused on getting the sides of the buildings done first. I am definitely running out of time! With all the senior events coming up I know I am going to be crazy busy. Let's hope I can stay focused.
