Weekly Reflection #1

 Week one of Senior Project is in the books! Thoughrought the week we have made multiple steps to improve the skate park and it is nice to see our progress come together. Prior to our efforts the skate park was not in an ideal state. There were hazardous rocks skattered across the pavement, weeds growing out of every crack and crevasses, and inches of dirt in every corner. Cleaning the park was no easy job, however we all need to do some manual labor from time to time to keep us honest. There is still some work need to be done but its definetly looks a lot better than when we started.

We were originally planning on building our skate boards the first week, however due to a delay in the shipping, we were not able to start our first week. So instead, we focused on cleaning up the park on our first week. I do not know the exact date, however I know that our blank decks are getting in sometime early this week. I'm excited to work on theses and decorate them. I have a couple good ideas in mind.

Our first week of senior project I thought was succesful. It is especially nice to have a larger group of people to help out with the shoveling, raking, and sweeping. It made the wrok go by a lot quicker. Our mentor Ben Bartoldus, has also been very helpful. He is an exccelent source to run ideas through and point us on the right track. He keeps us organized and gives us sold ideas on ways we can imporve our project and the park. We could not do it without him. Like I said before, I am thrilled to change the direction of our project when our blank decks arrive. Especially with the incoming warm weather, getting the majority of the yard work out of the way early in the project pays off. Bring on Week #2!
