Danielle's Graduation Project

Wednesday, April 1, 2009

Yesterday I finished my proposal. Today I made a cover for my proposal and then my whole proposal was completely done. Also today I started making my outline. I got a lot of my outline done today but I also have a lot more to do. For the next two days we are going to be working on the outline during class but I am thinking if i have time at home that I might some of the outline at home. That is if I don't have any other work to do.
