Metacognition:

• • What have you discovered about your process, your habits?
  • Now, what do you know you don’t know? Circle back to your essential question.

It feels super weird to know I only have one more reflection to write, then, not only will I be done with Senior Project, but I’ll be done with Highschool. For the most part, at least.

I have learned so much about the people I’ve met, about what I’m interested in and how I interact with other people, and how I deal with creating my own schedule and keeping track of it along with emailing and other correspondences with people I don’t yet know. I have certainly grown as an interviewer as well. Senior Project has gone by much quicker than I had ever imagined it to go. I suppose there’s no real frame of reference for how fast things will go (or at least how fast it might feel) when you’re in it, but after it’s finished I will feel like I am looking back at a blur that somehow produced everything I logged on my blog.

I went into each of my grandparents’ interviews thinking I knew what would be said, unsaid, and roughly how long they would be. I was partly right, but I half expected our interview to be either more of a conversation or less of one. I hadn’t really talked to my grandpa on my own before this. At least not for a long time and we probably didn’t talk about something as interesting as we did in the interview.

Lately, I have been thinking about the formatting for how I present my final “thesis”/discoverings. Most of it will be reflection-based work for me to complete.
