action plan and reflection, week ending 11/18

Reflection:

What I completed:

• I made a detailed schedule with what I need to complete for my project to happen, as well as outlining a plan for me to stay on track. I have not posted this yet, I will decide on a distribution method and post the calendar this week.


• I interviewed Cody Allison as my first credo interview, and it went well. More on this by Monday.


• I chose 11 chapters from the Tao Te Ching to use as my first text study (I chose chapters ch 1, 2, 11, 30, 33, 53, 61, 68, 79, 80, and 81, for those of you playing along at home.)

What I did not complete:

• I did not follow up with Shannon, she has pneumonia and I did not want to bother her when she was ill. Nevertheless, I did not do what I said I was going to do, so it goes here.


• I did not apply for a passport with Shannon.

This week:

Actions I will take for my senior project:

• I will have $200 put towards my trip by Monday, November 17th


• I will e-mail Tyson about possible PNWPA funding for my trip


• I will talk with Andy about what I will need to do to ask the PSCS community for possible donations of airline rewards miles


• I will follow-up with Tyson on Friday, November 14th regarding the PNWPA funding possibility

Actions I will take for my credo:

• I will transcribe my interview with Cody


• I will write my report on my first credo interview and post it to my blog by Monday, November 17th at 12:20 PM

Other actions I will take:

• I will work at least 10 hours on Scobie's website before Monday, November 17th

action plan and reflection, week ending 11/4

Reflection

What I completed

• I applied for a job at Barnes & Noble


• I talked with Shannon about sponsoring me:
  
  
  
  • She said that she'd be willing to sponsor my passport and walk me through that process
  
  
  • She also said that she would consider helping me further financially, and that she would get back to me by the end of the week. I have not heard from her
  
  


• I talked with Cody and scheduled my interview with him for Saturday the 8th


• I visited STA travel services in the University District and they told me that the ballpark figure for the plane tickets would be $800, I edited my project proposal accordingly to match these figures


• I submitted my project proposal by the deadline

What I did not complete

• I completed everything on my list that I committed to finishing, though in retrospect I believe that I should have called Shannon when she did not call me

This week

Actions I will take for my senior project

• I will follow up with Shannon about further sponsorship and schedule a time this week where we can apply for my passport


• I will write a detailed plan for my senior project, which will include:
  
  
  
  • Specific deadlines so I can keep on pace for my trip to London
  
  
  • When I will switch to staying in the US for my trip
  
  
  
  


• I will turn in my passport application

Actions I will take for my credo

• I will interview Cody for my interview


• I will pick the chapters (I estimate between 5 and 10) from the Tao Te Ching that I will be using as my first text study
