The year seems to have flown by and my project's deadline is just around the corner. More specifically, next week. With the deadline growing closer I have been working harder and harder to finish my project in time. For our presentations I really want to be able to wear my gauntlet and have it be finished, so that while I am presenting what my project was about, I can show what the result is. I have not had much time at all to work on my project, but I have managed to finish all of the fingers allowing me to make the wrist and arm. I have not had much time to work on my project because as the year comes to a close all my teachers are piling up the homework so that we have time before finals to study for finals. As I have been working on the project, I have also been working on what I am going to say for the presentation. Hopefully I can entertain the audience with my words of wisdom while I fling about my gauntlet.

This week we are starting our presentations for our project. We have been watching multiple TEDx talks in class to show us examples of good and bad presenting, and even though my project is not yet finished, I feel excited about presenting it. I do, however, want something physical that I could show off while presenting my presentation. For this reason, while working on my presentation, I will continue to work on finishing my gauntlet. Even though my original goal of my project will not be finished, having my gauntlet for my presentation done is still important because it shows that I at least worked to finish my project rather than give up on it. Because I will not have my project done, I was thinking that I would talk about how the project idea came to mind and the story behind that, and the lessons I learned throughout the year.
Last week I worked on sanding the rest of the pieces for my project for what little time I had because of all the homework I have had as the school year comes to an end, and the week before I finished cutting out all the pieces. It has been increasingly difficult for me to find time to work on my project because finals are coming up and there is a lot of homework, but I have been able to put aside a little bit of time to work on it. This week I have been sanding as many pieces as possible as well as start putting together the pieces that are done. I've sanded quite a lot of pieces and have finished putting together one of the fingers. I probably have a biased opinion on this, but I think it looks pretty cool so far. Hopefully I will be able to finish the rest of the gauntlet so that I can show it off, and maybe even wear it, during my presentation.
