This past week in ISM, I finished up my original work and actually turned it in a month early! It felt so good to hit submit and know that I wouldn’t have to stress out about it over winter break. My mentor and I have already been thinking about ideas for my final product. There’s so much time before final presentation night, so we can take the whole process pretty slow. I know I want to continue along the self-care route, but I’m still not quite sure on all of the details. I know that Vanessa will be able to help me by giving her creative input and teaching me about the main ideas of self-care that I need to get across. I’m actually visiting her today and we’re going to look at what some other YouTube channels have been doing, like SoulPancake, to see if I can get any inspiration! Hopefully the process will be very laid back and stress-free, since I have a lot of time to spread things out. I also need to prepare for the Research Showcase, which is coming up next month. I began handing out my invites today, and I’ll put together my board over break! I’m very happy with how this year is going so far, and I can’t wait to continue in this next phase of the ISM journey.
