WEEK THIRTEEN- Daily Log: Tuesday, May 22, 2007

• Today was an extremely busy day for me at my co-op placement, and I did not have a moment to myself. I like being busy though, because it makes the time fly by, and I also feel very good about myself and what I have accomplished at the end of the day. When I first got to my co-op placement, I continued to work on the graduation letters. Mrs. Stula wanted to me to redo the "G" because while she was laminating it, air bubbles found their way under the plastic. Today I finished cutting out the "2007" part, and also drew in the gold rimming around the lettering. The lettering looks great, but we just have to decide if we're going to laminate them.


• My next job took up the majority of the day. Mme. Mercer wanted me to take down what was already in th glass display case in the hall, and put them in Mrs. Stula's classroom, and Ms. Boyd's classroom. Once I had emptied the display case, I proceeded to arrange and decorate the cases with some art that the grade eights had done in french class. The art ranges from paintings, to clay figures, to people made from bottle caps and pop cans. The art was really stunning, and I had a lot of fun deciding where things would look best. I arranged the art so that each piece would compliment one another, and give an overall very polished look. The diversity of the art made the arrangement look even better. One major problem I had with making the display, was the dust! Dust was everywhere, and I think I breathed a lot in. Another challenge I had to overcome was the fact that there was so much art to fit in such small spaces. In the end, however I managed to get every last piece on display.


• My final job of the day was to make eighty photocopies (back and front) of an activity for Mme. Mercer. I then had to use the paper cutter to cut pieces of lined paper in half. I had a lot of fun today, because I worked really well independently, and ended up doing some of my best work. I am very proud of myself for being so committed today, and look forward to going back tomorrow! I worked for three and a half hours today.
