Wow week 9 is over. I can’t believe how fast this semester is going. Its kinda of scary in a way because I know we still have so much more work to do and I’m wondering when I’m gonna find the time to finish everything and not just finish it but do a really good and through job of it.

The moo worked out for me. I got some ideas of how we are going to finally tie everything together. I had already decided on my unifying genre before the meeting. I had talked to Ms. McComas about Herbert and his wife attending a support group and she suggested that I write a script for this.

I feel like I can tie my webliography page in by having Herbert say his granddaughter surfed the web and stumbled upon a CD student’s info regarding dysphagia. The brochure will be something that’s given to Herbert by his SLP and the PowerPoint presentation is something that will be shown at the support group meeting. Then there’s Herbert’s personal journal entries.

Worked on my PowerPoint presentation Friday after my CD 424 test. Probably not a good day for this but I didn’t want to drive back to Huntington on Saturday. It just didn’t make good sense as I was already here. But Friday was definitely a long and scary day.

I had already written my rough draft actually I spent about a week writing and rewriting and rewriting some more on my presentation. So I would have everything together for Friday. It was almost 6:00 before I got finished actually 5 minutes before. I put a lot of thought and hard work into it but after I got home I looked at it and immediately saw things that I needed and wanted to change. I think I’ll stop by Ms. McComas’ office next week for some handy dandy tips. I almost got locked in the library because after I finished I stopped to use the restroom and when I came out the lights were off in the library and I started to panic. I was thinking I had been locked in but luckily they were at the door still waiting for people to leave. Whew was I scared. I was thinking “WHAT A TERRIBLE DAY” and how was I going to explain this to the police or whomever I had to call to come and let me out.

Aims and Objectives: I am thinking about writing my script for the support group meeting. I am also thinking about my sixth genre. I have a couple of ideas for that one. Either a referral letter from a doctor to the SLP or e-mail exchanges. I decided against the newsletter since I already did the brochure. I would like to do something a little different.

What a week. Oh well bring on week 10 cause I’m still the sponge. But the only problem with this is it doesn’t always go to my brain. My test scores will prove this.
