Want to win a kindle fire HD?

So today was a great I got to sell lots, also Drama Club found out that it is now able to raffle off tickets for a kindle fire HD that was generously donated by a parent. Since we had back to school Drama Club used it to their advantage, due to this we had a great turn out with parents donating or purchasing tickets. However the parents seemed to want to buy raffle tickets and when they were asked to put either their name or their child's name they all said their child could get tickets with their money. Well first step to raising money next step selling cookie dough. The flavors are (if interested) white chocolate macadamia, Chunky chocolate chip, Snickerdoodle, Peanut butter, White choc. oatmeal cranberry, Caramel pecan chocolate chip, Oatmeal raisin, and lastly Triple chocolate.
I look kinda funny, wait nope that's me normally.

Blog 5 Project Reflection and Working EQ

1) The most positive statement for the senior project so far is by focusing on this career it will help me determine if this career path is the one I am going to choose for my future.

2) In reading "The Back Stage Guide To Stage Management" I have noticed that the experiences the writer has had are very similar to the experiences I've faced while working as a Theatre technician. The difference between the writers experience to my experiences are his productions were on a grander scale and he had many more years experience. However the difficulties of a play production are the same.

3) The thing that has worked for me in the senior project so far has to be the ability to understand how to be organized at my own comfortable pace. For example we have been given some homework along with an upcoming blog, I have been able to set a schedule of two or three small tasks to do a day to complete all needed assignments.

4) What hasn't worked so far with the senior project has to be the age restriction set in place by most of the local theaters. Which delays my mentorship from begining right away.

5) My starting EQ is "What is the best way to run a technological driven theater show?"
    I plan on answering this EQ with my mentor at "The Boston Court" in Pasadena.
