-explain how you solved a problem
-tell a cool story

Also include images, sounds or video from your project.

Week 3, Monday: Computers and Ribbons...

Today wasn't as much fun because I was on the computer almost all day. We had some car trouble so it was difficult getting to Fine Arts, and when I finally did, my sponsor had me write up programs for an upcoming recital. I had to take class lists, name all the students, put them in alphabetical order, and organize all the classes. It wasn't too much fun but it wasn't difficult. The most interesting part about this was seeing what people name their kids these days (the recital was for three year olds). I came across a Chanell Love, several Edens and Addysons, and about 50 Bellas.
I then spent a couple hours doing a spreadsheet on excel. Apparently the number of students enrolling in private music lessons at Fine Arts is falling. To find out why, I had to research their competition. I was assigned the task of looking up places that offer music lessons in the area (such as Joe's Music in Willoughby or Rabbit Run Theater in Madison) in the Cleveland/Lake/Geauga phonebooks. I then listed their addresses, phone numbers, and tuition rates (if they were listed on the websites). This actually took a lot of work and I hope it will assist them.
After I finished, I continued the never-ending project of taping curled ribbons to the ends of lollipops. I'm getting better at curling the ribbons with scissors (I was starting to think I was disabled...) but it's still extremely time-consuming and they have to be done by Friday. I hope I will have more time to work on it tomorrow.
