Busy Last Day

This morning I had planned on spending my last day with my team of sponsors but unfortunately did not get to meet with them. I woke up to a broken computer so I headed over to Hawken early in the morning to get things fixed as creating the video is essential to my project and final presentation Friday. Although my computer is now working I did loose a large portion of my edited video and have been spending today re-creating my project. Luckily, my sponsors are available to meet tomorrow and help me with the finishing touches of my production not to mention allow me thank them one last time! (I bought them these really cool coffee mugs that look like camera lenses!!)

So if loosing my film wasn’t enough I also need to finish writing my final report for tomorrow and film my last video tutorial. Yesterday I met with a mechanic, Pete Axelrod, so today I’ll film and upload some quick mechanic tips. In addition I’ll be mailing out thank you notes that I wrote yesterday. 

Although these last few days of project have been hectic the past three weeks have been really powerful. Although the lives of blue-collar workers might seem far away from our academic school days these professionals have taught me that our worlds aren’t too far apart. Meeting with these common professions has allowed me to really value the working class. Not only do I look at blue-collar workers in whole new light but also I see myself as capable of more than analyzing literature. Hopefully, my video will show just a fraction of what I’ve experienced.
