Chronology Notes

Week: 3:

Spoke with Jose and Professor Solomon about who my audience for the Ignite speech would be in regards to if I would recite the speech to just Jose and Professor Solomon, the TAs, or my discussion group.

May 11:

Wrote an opposing view for speech. Read a Huffington Post college article. This article sparked my idea to do my ignite speech in a narrative.

Made 4 slides.

Wednesday May 13:

Made 4 slides.

May 14:

In the morning, I developed a 1 minute narrative. Next, I practiced the 1 minute speech at Price center west in front of Debra. In class I did a practice run of my 1 minute ignite speech. My mom scanned to me lecture notes and PowerPoint slides from the IETF seminar at UCSD. I received three separate emails with the whole packet.

May 15:

In the Communication building editing room, I practiced my speech while Debra filmed me (Same 1 minute speech that I did in class). I was filmed five different times. I thought including stories of the music concert and hospital incident with a nurse. I also looked at including the issue of people thinking that I look nervous or drunk: That would be the misconception slide.

May 15-16:

Wrote out and put images to slides 5-7. Found pictures online. Cropped images and put together the images on each slide.

May 16:

For the social media slide, I used my twitter and Facebook pages. I took pictures with my cell phone and emailed them to myself. Then I cropped each picture and made a social media collage. I went on the IETF website and found out that they have a Google Plus and I took a picture and added it to the collage. Then on online resources slide I planned out what sites I would use by writing out a list of ET sites. Created Wix Website and choose a template. 1:37AM I conceptualized ideas for each PowerPoint slide. I wrote the works cited page for pictures I used in PowerPoint slides and on Wix.

May 17:

Chose images for more slides. Then I cropped images to put on the slides. Made works cited. Kept track of links on a separate word document. Took more photos for each of the slides and then set each slide for 15 seconds each. At 3:36 AM I thought about using three slides to tell my narrative through Age 5, 14, and current (24). The 24 year old depicts raising awareness and educating people. The 5 year old is where the journey stars. And 14 years old is the diagnosis. In the 5, 14, and 24 slides there will be a picture of me at the age. Preferably the picture will showcase at age 5 me writing, at age 14 being in school, and at age 24 advocating for Essential tremor. 7:04PM. Worked on completing two slides. I waited to add three photos of me until I received an email from my mom who has copies of the photos. At 7:47 PM I sent myself an email of a picture for the PowerPoint. At 8:00 PM I finished all 20 slides for the PowerPoint. 7:53 PM finished works cited list. Finished list of websites which had links to the images used in my PowerPoint Slides and speech. 8:09 PM Formatted each picture with a frame shadow. Finished putting in all the images except for the photos of me at different ages. 8:10PM added a selfie with Debra and me for the 24 years old slide. 11:28 PM Received email from my mom with photos of me at age 5 and age 14. Looked at photos and chose the one for age 5 slides and the one for age 14 slides. Cropped them to fit each of the slides. At 11:35PM I cropped the photo of me at 5 years old. Then I chose a photo of me at 14. Then I cropped the photo of me at 14. Power Point finished at 11:50 PM. 10PM talked to a friend on the phone and told her my speech

May 18:

Started to make sure everything was uniformly formatted. Pictures centered. And titles in the right places. 12:16: retiled two slides. Used full length name for one (International Essential Tremor Foundation) for the other I used the acronym. I also resized a title. 12:31 AM: For age 5 photos, I thought about using a photo of me in the Music Man when I put up my trombone in the band before everyone else in the ensemble. (Not sure if I was 5). Emailed mom at 12:32 to see if she could email me the photo and if I was 5. 11:28 my mom emailed me three more photos of me. One at 5 and two at 14. At 4:12 PM On Facebook I saw photo of the IETF mobile app created by IETF on their Facebook page and decided I would use it instead of the photo I already have. I decided for the 5 years picture to use the trumpet photo instead. For the 14 picture I decided to use one of the two trombone pictures. 4:33 PM I changed the 5 year old picture to the one of me with my trumpet. Then at 4:35PM I cropped the photo. At 4:38 PM I put the photo on the first slide. Then at 4:39PM I formatted the photo. Then I decided what 14 year old band photo I would use. At 4:45PM I pasted the photo in and formatted it. At 5:00 PM I looked at my works cited page and changed from the IETF mobile phone app photo to the mobile app phone photo from IETF Facebook page. At 5:04 PM. I deleted the works cited for mobile phone app from IETF and change it on the website list. At 5:05PM I recreated the works cited. At 5:06PM I put it on the website list. 5:11PM copied Facebook photo and cropped it to fit power point slide. Repositioned the photos on the slide. Then I completed the full power point at 5:19 PM. At 5: 23PM. I went through all 20 slides and formatted them. Then at 5:24PM I played the full slide show with each slide timed at 15 seconds to see how the images would look. 5:43PM -5:45 watched power point presentation. Watched three times.

At 10:10AM worked on website. I added a contact us page and a subscription page. At 12 PM to 4: 30 PM filmed for the ET documentary with Debra.
