So after all those trials and tribulations with the scratchcards being sent to the wrong address and such, they finally arrived tonight. They look pretty good and I'm excited to finally get this part of my project rolling. I also e-mailed my priest again so hopefully he will get back to me soon. If not then I might have to call him if I can get his number or I will just give up on that aspect of my project.
Hi, my name is Emily and this blog is all about my senior research project. Basically, I plan to research homeless teen shelters. In this process I hope to learn about why these kids are facing these circumstances and how I can help. I want to set up some sort of fundraiser, which my NHS will be aiding me with. Wish me luck!

Happy Mother's Day
Sunday, May 8th
It just hit me! My project presentation is in less than 3 weeks!!!!!! ahhhhhhh. . . . I still have so much to do though :./
I really need to start working on my powerpoint, but it seems so difficult to just start it, especially since I don't have much time at home because of everything that is going on.

Minor difficulties

Today I went sky diving!!!! With all that excitement I didn't really work on much for my project. I'm currently trying to sort out the shipment of my scratch cards though. The company sent them to the wrong address. Oh, and Father Z. hasn't e-mailed me back which kinda makes me mad. I need to call him, but I don't have his number :/

Cupcake sale!
Thursday, May 5th
Today after school was the cupcake sale. . . It was crazy! I was out there by myself and the cupcakes were selling like crasy. As soon as someone saw their friend with one, then they wanted one. Within no more than 20 minutes over 100 cupcakes were gone and only about 30 were left. Since there weren't any kids really in the hallways anymore I packed up and counted the money. The amount I had raised was $223 which included a few donations. Tomorrow Mrs. Apice is going to sell the remaining cupcakes in her classes which should bring in around another $60.

Cupcakes are coming. . . .
Wednesday, May 4th
This morning I made sure I had all 86 cupcakes with me and I went and gave them to Mrs. Apice. She and her students will be icing and decorating them for me. I also put up all of the flyers around the school during 3rd period. It took a while but it was worth it. Throughout the day I could hear people commenting on the cupcake sale and they sounded pretty excited about it which got me even more excited. . . Tomorrow the cupcakes will be getting sold!
First period I finally met up with Mr. Campbell for our way past due meeting. We just discussed some things and the apprentice at our school might possibly help me out with fundraising.

Tuesday, May 3rd
So yesterday after school I actually got quite a bit done. I was pretty proud of myself, in fact. The main things I did were ordering the scratcher cards and I emailed my prist about the diaper drive.
Today I made up flyers for the cupcake sale and photocopied them. Tomorrow morning I'm going to go around the school and hang them up. Also, In preparation for the cupcake sale I baked over 80 cupcakes! Let's just say the kitchen wasa complete mess and I had to clean it all up. Figuring out a way to transport the cupcakes wasa bit difficult as well, but I justput them in bags since they were icing them at school.
