...Deal With It...
So yesterday was supposed to be my after school presentation and only two people showed up. Two very close friends of mine, they helped me not feel like a COMPLETE idiot. So Mr. Z has suggested presenting to his Costa Rica class during the first hour. Thats what I am doing. I am looking forward to it. =]

...Remembering Sunday...
Today I started my pamphlet for the presentation that I will be giving on Feb. 27th. hopefully. I still need a teacher to be a chaperone. I asked Mr. Z but he doesn't know if he is available that day.
I also started the flyer to pass out for advertisement of this small event.

...Wait 4 U...
I have not accomplished much today. I responded to Mr. Zatezalo's email and I have helped a fellow classmate edit a paper that she needed to hand to a prospective funder for her cause. Other than that, I have continued to work on my keyterms.
I am waiting for a response back from Mr. Z.
