Today Stuart, Kate, and I finished our presentation (without the pictures though) and I also got to work on the project within the last week. First off, I got a good amount of the project done which is a huge weight off my shoulders. All I have to do now is to do the finishing touches (connecting the flat rope to the wood block) which I will be able to do over the break. The second topic we talked about/ finished is the final presentation. All of the slide’s materials are done except for a few picture: before and afters, Mikaela’s modeling pictures, and the video. I am going to make the video from my friend Alex Gressett’s tumbling and stunting videos I have collected over the years. The modeling pictures will be over or maybe a little after the break because I have to construct and find a time that will work for Mikaela and I. Like last time, I blended all the slides together and arranged them, so next week we will be done and practicing our parts.

Today Stuart, Kate, and I worked on the end of year presentation and went over a few things, like new due dates. Even though we set due dates, events got in the way of me getting to work on the project. Construction is a big issue for me, since I am mainly in charge of it. The days I was supposed to work on it I would get sick or have a competition. So hopefully this weekend I will at least get started on it since it is crunch time. Even though time is sort of an issue I will have all of Christmas break to finish it up and take pictures. I feel especially bad since the pictures are a big part of Kate’s slides and she was not able to get very far on her part of the presentation because of me. One good thing that happened is that I finished most of my slides except for the pictures, so I do not really have to stress about doing all of that before Christmas break. Below is a picture of one of my slides!

Today Stuart, Kate, and I did not get a lot done because of the test we took today, but we hit the main points of todays agenda. First we worked on explaining the new design to Stuart. She understood it, but to make it clearer to all of us we did a picture representation of it, which was a lot of fun since we got to use the whiteboard! I had a hard time remembering what some of the new supplies were and where they went in the design, so it ended up being good for me. I also felt bad because I never got around to constructing it because I got the flu towards the end of the week when my dad was off and suppose to help. We also gave out slides for the end of the year assignment; since it is coming up fast. Kate got the model slide, tips on stretching, and how to use the stretcher. Stuart got due dates, how it ended up not costing money because of the changed supplies, and she will be presenting our hook. I got construction, supplies, and the resolved hook issue/ what replaced the hooks. We also as a group wanted to do a summary about what we did over the semester. Next week and over the break we are going to work on our presentation, construct the project, and take the modeling pictures.
