Blog Post #6

I'm not sure if there is any prompts for this one so I'm just going to give updates. So it turns out that the EP has been narrowed down to 3 songs. We weren't able to finish up with recording the full EP. I'm still very stressed out about the project overall. Although we do have the lyrics for the songs, so we're probably going to include those in the presentation. We're done with recording Ain't It Fun, I believe that Gwen just has to put the song together and then we'll be down with that song. I think that sums up all the updates.

I referred to Gwen's latest blog posts and I noticed that there are questions to be answered. Here are the following questions:

What do you need to do before your presentation?
We need to try to finish recording.  We were planning on including a music video but we weren't able to finish up recording in time in order to record the music video. Since that is the case, we are probably just going to include what songs that were written.

What are you nervous about for your presentation?
I'm nervous about presenting. I don't like being in front of the class having to have all eyes on me. I also don't like having to look people in the eye so that's going to be difficult.  It's not my strong suit but I'm planning to do the best that I can.

What has been your favorite part about the Genius Project so far? Why?
I think my favorite part about the Genius Project so far was doing the photo shoot with the band. It was a lot of fun doing the photos with the band. I liked the location that we were in as well as the fact that we were able to eat ice cream in some of the photos. I really liked how the photos turned out, they all look amazing.So kudos to Gwen's mom. The reason why I found it to be so fun is because this was my second time taking a professional photo shoot and I just think the whole process is super interesting and I just really like photography.

Talk about the process of writing a blog. Has it been helpful in reflecting about your progress in your project? Why or why not?
I think it has been helpful for me. It helps me reevaluate what I have accomplished and what I have to get done. For me personally I found it to be therapeutic because I find writing to be very fun.
