Week 2, Day 6 of Senior Project!

Today was not as exciting and/or fun as it usually is because Erin and I were not able to work together; she had to study all day for her AP Environmental Science test scheduled for tomorrow morning. However, I am glad that she took the time to study and will be fully prepared for the exam. Erin and I will reunite again tomorrow after she has her exam! I know that she is excited to begin this week of Senior Project as it is when we get to start really spending time putting together our binder.

Even though Erin and I were not able to meet with each other today, I had a very productive day! I was an early bird today and woke up at 8:00, at which time I started work on my restaurant reviews. I spent 4 ½ hours (8-12:30) doing this work. Erin and I are all done with our Top 20 List!!! After going back and forth between a few tied restaurants, we feel 100% happy with the list that we have produced. We think that it has great variety and that there is a restaurant on the list that will suit every single family to visit Proctor in the near future. Erin and I thought it would be wise to split the list in two so that each of us would be able to focus on perfecting ten reviews each. The ten restaurants that I have been assigned are: The Millstone, The Lake Sunapee Country Club, Four Corners, La Meridiana, Bistro Nouveau, Lui Lui’s, Yama’s, Koto Japanese Restaurant, and Three Tomatoes Trattoria! I love every single on of these restaurant and am so happy that I will be able to introduce others to the great food and experiences that these restaurants offer.

From 8:00 – 12:30, I also gathered all the various information that will accompany each restaurant review in our binder. This includes the restaurant’s website URL, phone number, URL to the Mapquest directions, estimated mileage from Proctor, estimated time distance from Proctor, and other additional information. I’ve found that I spend a lot of time on each individual review, which I think of as a good thing, because by the time I am finished with the review it is exactly how I feel the restaurant should be described.

From 6:30 – 7:30, I loaded the rest of the pictures I had taken from last week onto my computer and began the editing process for those photos. The pictures are really going to enhance the binder and help give the readers an accurate sense of where they will be traveling to eat

I can’t wait to dive right in to our Senior Project tomorrow!
Until then –
