Help

I've managed to put off this Family History project due in my American Studies class for the past 4 months.

That's right. You think your procrastination is bad? I have avoided this entire assignment for practically half of a school year.

And spring break? Yeah, there's two more days left and I haven't even touched it.

But there's still salvation. I have two weeks until it's due. That's 14 days!

So what exactly do I have to do for this project?
  • create an extended family tree, as far back as I can possibly go
  • interview a family member and create a brochure on their life
  • write a personal narrative on my life thus far
  • trace back the very first immigrants to America in my family (this one isn't so hard, they were my parents)
  • create a family quilt with squares that represent my family
  • write a textbook entry about 2008 elections, complete with graphs, other info
  • brocure/document/pamphlet that highlights your culture
  • present differences between immigration today and in the past
  • +4 extra projects that show off own culture/family history

Phew. I currently have three things done. Can I do this? Now that I've written the entire list of requirements out... I'm a bit intimidated.

But I guess it's really a need to just sit down and finish it. Nothing seems top difficult I guess, it'll just be time consuming. And once I've got all the research done, I can try and scrapbook all together in some way, which isn't too bad.

Okay, I need to go plug in my iPod and finish this.

Hope all you kids learned a lesson and choose not to follow in the footsteps of this procrastinating perfectionist.

PS

Anyone still interested in that collaborative blog I was talking about in my post yesterday?
