Proposal Week!

This week was our proposals for our project. It was one of the most nerve-racking experiences. I was so nervous and intimidated by it. I wanted to fix food for the board to convey my passion to them. So coming up with what to fix was first. I decided on caramel drizzled spoons to put in coffee, sweet potato bread with pineapple butter, iced coffee (cappuccino tasting), and crock pot cookies. Preparing this took my whole weekend but it was worth it in the end. Hopefully it paid off. Besides cooking, figuring out what to say and how to convey how passionate I was about my project was another task. So I made note cards and practice a lot saying my proposal to myself. But the proposal really was not that bad, it was not an intimidating atmosphere, and the board really was there to help! As hard as that was for us to believe, it was true. They gave me suggestions and were only there to encourage and help me, it was a pleasant surprise. So I feel like it went fairly well and am looking forward to any conversations to be had with the board members in the future. Also this week, I had my second cake decorating class and we decorated our cakes with all the tricks and rules with learned last week. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be but it was also a lot of fun. I made a cake with a fish on it! But now in senior project, I am focusing on the research paper and finding resources and writing my thesis. I changed my topic and decided to write about rather vegetarian diets are healthier. This has actually been a subject that has always fascinated me. I once tried to be a vegetarian for a week and it was difficult.  I have a lot of work to do for the paper and could use as much help as possible ;)
