My Full Blown Honor's Week

As I pondered what to share on the blog this week, I took a look back at last week.

On Monday, I was supposed to start tutoring with the Academy Tutoring Project. I drove to MAHS and found out that the students were out of school for President's Day. I then returned home to wait for my appointment at the Memphis Family Shelter for my orientation there. I drove to the shelter and waited for approximately 20 minutes before we were informed that the trainer would not be available and would need to reschedule. I spent the day in and out of the car to go to canceled appointments. It was not fun.

Tuesday was the class trip to Stax and Sun Studios. I thoroughly enjoyed both of these. I am a museum buff, so the Stax Museum was of great interest to me. I read as much of the information as I could and learned a lot of things I did not previously know. I also got to see some of the instruments they recovered from the plane crash that killed Otis Redding. It was chilling to see the saxophone that belonged to one of the musicians lost in the crash. At Sun Studios, we had a good time imitating the scene from Mystery Train. The coolest part was that the guide knew what we were doing and did an impression of the female tour guide from the movie. We have some great pictures of Sun Studios with Emily and Doug at the microphones. There may even be some video of me and Lyndsey singing (until I can get those phones!)

Wednesday was a normal day and I was able to relax a little bit.

Thursday I attended the Volunteer Expo at Oak Court Mall to work on my semester project. I was able to kill two birds with one stone and have contact information for my Theater Honor's Project from Playhouse on the Square. The expo was interesting and I found a lot of volunteer opportunities in the area.

This week has been a fun filled exhausting week with a lot of information and learning around the Memphis area. I have enjoyed working on my project and participating in the Honors Inquiry outing.

My blog detailing my progress on my project is up and running and I invite you all to read and comment. Any feedback will be welcome and appreciated. You can visit my blog at: http://handsonmemphisproject.blogspot.com/
I look forward to seeing you there!
