Interview Guide.

Today, I completed my interview guide with an idea of who I'm going to interview and ten questions to ask them. I only had to make a few revisions, but I got them done. Hopefully, I'll fully decide soon who I'm going to be interviewing.

Books, books, books.

I found my five books, I'm not sure if they're all that great for what I'm looking for but I suppose they'll be good for now. They are all based on the same topics, so it may end up being too much of one thing and not enough of the other. Who knows.

Good Day.

I've had a really fulfilling day. I went through about 2-3 different websites and took notes on about 2-3 of my foundation questions so far.

Key Terms

I finished my list of my ten key terms and definitions. I still have yet to contact somebody to conduct an interview with.

Webliography & Contacts.

So far this week I completed my webliography and starting finding phone numbers and email adresses to contact people to interview.

I'm thinkin either someone at Children's Hospital (412-692-5325 ; chpvolunteer@chp.edu) or Pittsburgh Cares (412-471-2114 ; anew@pittsburghcares.org).

Thursday.

I'm currently working on reading through my list of websites to be able to start my webliography, I still have a few key terms I need to find to be up-to-date on that. I'll probably be working on my webliography a lot for the next few days and a good bit this weekend as well.

Progress.

Today, I finished some more key terms. I think I did about seven. I also had my weekly meeting and was able to figure out how to do my webliography correctly, and will hopefully start that sometime this week.
