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!
