A Look Back at Week 12

Not too sure if we needed to post for this past week, but since we did have class last Wednesday and it's not August 6th yet, I figured I might as well.

ITS A GREAT MONDAY MORNING as I just found out that my Director is putting in the paper work to hire me as a console operator! YAYY!!! So, I would say my chances of continuing to work here just went up to 99%, assuming everything goes well with the paperwork! =)

Still working on my presentation for the 6th and I haven't practiced it yet, so I'm getting slightly nervous about that... I hope I can stretch out my slides to do enough talking for 12 minutes...

A Look Back at Week 11

LAst week was pretty good... On Saturday I did the narration for "Florida Skies" again. It went MUCH smoother this time around and I didn't forget to leave anything out... The only thing I would like to improve on is elaborating more maybe? It would be nice if I could make the show last at least 50 minutes, and right now I'm at about 40-45 minutes.

I really need to start preparing for my presentation on the 6th. I don't know about you guys, but I am having trouble making my presentation fit the 10-12 minute time frame. I feel like there is just not that much for me to explain... suggestions are appreciated!

A Look Back at Week 10

I finally narrated my first show! I did Florida Skies, the one you guys saw last week...
I think I did okay for my first time, never having practiced! There were definitely a few constellations that I skipped over that I wanted to point out, but I'll try to remember them for next time...
Other than that, this week I have just been trying to work on my show presentations using the computer programs we have... ITS HARD! I don't know what any of the commands mean or what they do... My director has been away at a conference, so he hasn't been able to help me... His assistants have not been able to help too much either because they are not well practiced on it either... So I'm not sure if I will get both shows done before the internship ends... we'll see I guess!

A Look Back at Week 9

Hi, so thank you guys for coming to the planetarium on Friday! My Director was super excited that we were over MAX CAPACITY! I hope you all enjoyed it...

I finished my first lesson plan.... I am waiting on feedback for it so I can start making my show next week... I planned on making 2 LP's and 2 shows...but maybe I will only have time for one...its taken a lot longer than anticipated....

Hope everyone else's are coming along nicely! See you on Wednesday =)

A Look Back at Week 8

First, I would just like to say that I am thoroughly confused about what week it is in everyone's post... All I know, is that I have posted every week since we started and I title mine "A Look Back at.." and whatever week it was.... so I'm pretty sure this past week was the 8th week of class, and this post is due for the 9th week...ugh. whatever!

Planetariums going great as usual... My director has been out of the office and his assistant s an adjunct professor so he has been teaching during the mornings ever since summer B began, so I run the planetarium by myself! It's fun, I really like being in charge of myself. Can't wait for you all to come visit on Friday! Remember to show up at 630 so you can get your tickets and good seats! $4.00 for UF students, and free for Santa Fe...

Have a great week 9 coming up!

A Look Back at Week 7

Same old, same old at the Planetarium during the work week, BUT I worked my first Saturday night yesterday! I finally got to see a music 360 show (featuring U2) and that was some trippy stuff! It was cool though. I learned how to do cashiering and tickets also...normally during the week, the school groups pre-pay because they reserve their shows. It's only on Friday and Saturday nights that we actually "sell tickets". My co-worker who only works on the weekends reminds me a LOT of Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory...so I was thoroughly entertained.

P.S. Disney was a blast! <3

A Look Back at Week 6

This week was really busy! Lots of groups came in and my director also travelled a couple times to different school groups or camps. I started learning more constellations that way one day I can do the show Florida Skies, which is the one you all are going to come see on the 11th at 7pm (Make sure you arrive at 630, and its $4.00)....
I just found out I am going to Disney this weekend for my birthday!!! YAYY!! =)
Hope everyone else has a good weekend too!
