The End.

The Capstone board presentations went well I think. I'm thrilled with how my board turned out. The poster quality was on-point! I suppose the only issue I had with the presentations was that we just had way too many people. There definitely needs to be some adjustments made just in case the same problem happens next year, like 20+ people taking the class... Personally, I felt like I couldn't stand by my project because I was so cramped by the people on either side of me. Besides that, the event was fun and it was great to see the fantastic work done by my peers.

As for my project, I feel like I failed miserably. I took too long to really figure out what I wanted to do and my execution was poor. I think my idea was fun, but I could've done more to promote and get the word out around campus. I think my planning was the best part about my project. The design seemed to work well. I just didn't get the participation I had hoped for, but it's hard to get people to do something without some serious incentive. I learned that you can't rely on people to do something for you. I should've done all the promotion myself because my little spies didn't do anything. But, again, hindsight is 20/20.

All in all, I think I did an okay job with my project. I definitely learned what NOT to do and I believe I can pass that along to future Capstone students.

Cultural Event: Relay for Life

April 10th, 2015

At midnight Friday night/Saturday morning, I chopped 11 inches of my hair off. I had decided about six months ago that I wanted to donate my hair to Beautiful Lengths but I felt as if that wasn't enough. Sure, I was excited that my hair could go on to be a wig for a special person, but I also wanted to raise money for cancer research. So I chose to cut my hair at Relay for Life.

I had originally planned to donate eight or nine inches, but once I saw how little hair that was I decided to go all out. I got up on stage and just like that, almost a foot of hair, gone in a flash! It was so refreshing!

The event itself was pretty fun! Unfortunately, there wasn't as big of a turn out as there have been in previous years. The event was also shortened this year from ending at 6 a.m. to 4 a.m. but who's complaining?!

According to the Shepherd University event page on the American Cancer Society's site, SU raised a total of $40,424 + some change!

Right after it was cut! ^^

And after I got it evened out at my salon :)
