The End

My Keystone presentation is today.

This process was not what I thought it would be.

Last summer, I started interviewing people for my presentation, and I was so sure that I would be ahead of schedule. I planned to have a ten page essay about the history of specific clairvoyants. I planned to volunteer at the psychic fair.

As it turns out, I ended up doing a six page paper about the history of clairvoyance and it's misconceptions. I interviewed two formal subjects, and four casual subjects. My portfolio is done (!) and my product is edited and advisor approved. Instead of volunteering at the psychic fair (which it turns out I can't volunteer at without a lot of training) I volunteered with those who are "excluded" from society (homeless people and special needs teens), and I think I've gotten a lot more out of those experiences than I ever would have from volunteering a the Intuitive fair.

It's been really stressful, but all I have is my presentation.

Progress!

I have gotten so much done today.

I am two transcribed quotes away from finishing my paper - I need to pinpoint what David says about intuition and clairvoyance and what Tonya said about what people should know about clairvoyance.

I finished trimming my video! Dr. Ayres has to approve it, but I am so proud of getting it from over an hour to nine minutes.

I finished my lesson plan and had it read over.

All I need to do is volunteer this weekend and print out my research for my binder.

Productivity tastes sweet.

A Week Left!

I have one week and 4.5 hours until I present my keystone. Eek.

But I've been working hard of late, and I think I will do well.

I've brought my hour long interview down to 13.5 minutes, and I'm trying to shave off 3 extra minutes. My lesson plan that I'm going to give in Yoga tefillah to teach about clairvoyance and meditation is nearly completed. I have to put in my final quotes on my essay, and touch up my powerpoint presentation.

Of course, I still have to figure out how to rip Tonya's audio from the image and make a silhouette. An interview of a chair (because she wasn't comfortable with it on her face) may not go down so well.

That's the biggest thing I have to do - I'm not sure I can rip it. I know I can mute it then add audio, but I want to remove the audio from the picture. I'm sort of lost as how to go about it, but I will manage.

My final problem is community service. I have my service lined up, but when I talked to Roni, she said I could do the service (which happens once a month) after my keystone has happened, on June 2nd. So how will I turn in my binder? This is a problem that still has to be resolved.

I'm at that place where everything is in it's FINAL stage and needs to be touched up. Thank goodness for weekends.

Update

So far, I've overcome my snags. I've converted my video to a format that I can edit, and my interview edits are almost done.

I just got back the edits to my essay, and I still have a lot of work to do.

Luckily my community service is taken care of.

My biggest problem is that everything is READY - I just don't have my presentation.

That
Is
A
Problem.
