There is no way to really make things better because at the end of the day, we are forced to do things that seem redundant and useless and do those things multiple times. I think the way it is now is good. Get the boring forms out of the way first semester,take a break, then get back to it in April. I don't mind the presentation because, although I had nerves, I think it is good for us.The binder on the other hand.....is crap. At the end of the day the time we spent on this hasn't helped me grow or evolve, really, not as much as when we have discussions and debates. Sorry to be a downer, but it's how I feel. I am so glad to get back to our regular schedule.

Senior project=evil
I don't really see a way to make things easier.The senior project is helpful in forcing you to research more than you already did about a career you're interested in. In terms of everything else, it's useless.I already knew what colleges I wanted to go to in junior year so the college research form had no use for me.I applied for scholarships already and compared my chances of receiving them so what's the point of me writing it down on a piece of paper? The bib cards were a complete waste of time and went on forever;they didn't help me at all.So yeah...The senior project as a whole is a conundrum.It is designed for the stupid kids who don't know how to do anything or how their future looks like(I mean to offend) and is horribly asinine for those of us that aren't like that. The way it ends up is that the kids who are already well off do well, and the kids who this project is designed for don't learn anything besides "hey I have to do this because I don't want a zero." I could be wrong,but that is the way I've seen it through other students.Considering other schools don't force students in AP classes to do this I am already bothered by the fact that Clarkston does.
