Barnsong

So in class today we watched a documentary named "Barnsong." Basically, one WISE student was making a documentary of another WISE student who was building a barn. The kid that built the barn actually did not complete the barn until the August after he graduated, which showed me that an incomplete project does not mean it was a fail. It just means that they ran into unexpected obstacles that he then had to take into account, and it's reassured me that not following my exact timeline or reaching my exact goals in the 16 weeks is okay, as long as I got a good experience and learned something on my own.

One question I have about WISE is how many other students around the country are enrolled in this class. Ithaca is a unique place to grow up and learn with all our resources, but I think it would be neat to see and contact other WISE students in the country or area and see what kind of ideas and projects they're coming up with. 

As for my own project goals, I think they are still pretty good. Losing 50 lbs. will not happen in the 16 week period, that I know for sure. A kid can dream, can't he? I'm realizing that goal was unrealistic for this time period, but I'll still have the whole summer to shed the weight I want to before college. So, not much fretting from my point of view right now.
