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 think the whole of senior project has gone off without a hitch. At first I was worried that I had over estimated what I could get done, collecting all the writings, copying them done, editing, organizing, learning how to lay out and format a book, I began to worry it would take me a month, but by working a lot the first week I was able to get all of it done and begin to bind. As a perfectionist I definitely think there is a lot of room for growth and will probably change things and edit more but I am proud of this first edition. For the binding part, I think it was a great trade to learn and I am excited to be able to have those copies and that accomplishment but it is not something I could do for a career,  but as I continue to write I could see myself using these skill to make myself note books, or possible another edited copy of this book or others for friends and family.
