So, in response to what I had written yesterday, with all my worries and such exploding out of me, I received an email today from my client with a large folder full of high quality photos along with links to video footage, testimonials, and copies of the videos themselves. 

I’ve also been linked up with a few schools, so that way I can email teachers, students, and even parents to get their individual points of view on VASS.

There is the point of view of one particular student that I would love to get. I’ve heard her back story, and because of what I’ve heard already, I think that she would make an amazing candidate for a testimonial of how VASS has helped her. 

Ok, that’s it for today, I just wanted to say, that while I was freaking out yesterday about not having anything, now I’m overwhelmed by the amount of information I have, and I’m definitely more comfortable with that. 

*shh.. don’t tell anyone, but I kind of like being overwhelmed and the pressure that goes with it, I find that my work is better*

One week…

It is one week until CreateAthon. ONE WEEK! 

Ok, so *deep breath* I thought I was prepared, a little anxious of course, but prepared. 

I’m looking over emails with my nonprofit now, one’s that are coming in more frequently than ever before, and I’m starting to freak out a bit. I feel really unorganized, which is probably contributing majorly to the freaking out. 

I have all this stuff that I want to do for VASS, and all I’m thinking right now is “what if I don’t have the right materials from them, so I can’t provide the best work, or even the work they need??!“ 

I’m waiting on getting pictures from them. Body copy. Necessities for the printed works. Web necessities. And along with those, some of the extras that I’ve asked for. 

I’ve also tried to get a hold of students at some of the schools that VASS works with, and haven’t heard back from any of them, which is really freaking me out. I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!! GET BACK TO ME ASAP! 

I want to hear stories from the students p.o.v. (point of view). I want to hear stories from the schools’ p.o.v., and even the teachers’ p.o.v.

I especially want to hear stories from the board members’ and STEM job providers p.o.v. I feel like the stories from the STEM job providers would be some of the most interesting, since they’re not a point of view we hear often when it comes to education. 

ok. I’m done with the freaking out rant now.
