Blog #12

Last day of senior project, today I slept in a little till 9:00, then got to work bonding two more copies. I got them done, then organized who I am going to give copies too and now I am still in the process of deciding if I want to send a copy to a publisher. Overall the past two weeks have been amazing, it is so gratifying to have really written this book, and truly proved to myself that I could be a writer. Although I really enjoyed the writing, I do have to be honest about the binding. I do enjoy having a hard copy that looks nice and can be put on a shelf or given to family and friends to read but I would rather not bind books again. The process is to monotonous, the first one or two figuring it out was fun but after that I was done. Today in total I worked from 9:00-11:00.

Day 10 of Senior Project, 18 May 2023

  18 May 2023                                                     7:23pm Blog #10 Today I woke up and decided that I didn't want to spend all day in the library again, so I headed to the field house. I printed three copies, then headed back to dorm to bind from 8:30-12:30. I got three copies done and I realized that although I can write all day, everyday, the monotonous pattern of binding gets boring after a few copies. So after lunch I decided to go mountain biking, I got 8.20 mils in with 1,059ft of elevation climb in an hour or so. I am definitely realizing that I have lost my climbing pace since our last race in the fall. But happily my knee/meniscus didn't bother me at all during the ride, although once my body cooled down my knee was definitely sore, but not swollen so all good. In total I worked from 8:30-12:30, so I got four hours in. Daily : 4 Total : 53

Week Two Reflecton

 Week Two Reflection     This week went off without a hitch. On Monday I finished editing fully and laid out everything with proper formatting to print correctly. Then on Tuesday I bonD my first copy, then edited it, finding a few mistakes and fixing them to begin making final copes to give to family and friends. Wednesday I bond two copies before our tennis match vs Exeter. Then Thursday bond three more and Friday three again, finishing Saturday with another two.      Overall this week was good. I started really excited to learn how to bind and begin the process, yet once I did it, it got boring. Tuesday and Wednesday were fun, learning the process, finding tricks, and having a hardcopy of my book was very gratifying, but on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I got sick of the repetition and was ready for something new. To balance the borden and get moving again as my knee will along I have been biking a bunch and reading but I am not quite sure what to do Monday and Tuesday.      I thin
