We talked about what was stressing us out about the project today. It was a good chance to get some concerns out into the air and help each other feel a little less worried about the work at hand. We agreed that we'd meet weekly during the project to talk about what's worrying us.

Notes:
Today was a hard day for 6S. I looked over the research that's been completed thus far. There's still lots of work to be done for the research to be useful as a resource for writing, drawing and creating later in this project. It's always a little unnerving to get graded on work you do so diligently. I think the final work will be that much better because I looked at it so critically now. But I know it was a hard day.

Joke:
Once upon a time, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog in a pond. The frog said to the princess, " I once was a handsome prince until an evil witch put a spell on me. One kiss from you and I will turn back into a prince and then we can marry, move into the castle with my mom and you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel happy doing so." That night, while the princess dined on frog legs,she kept laughing and saying, "I don't THINK so."
