Here's just an update with how things are currently going for me. My exit interview was this past Friday and I did alright. I did not use specific examples, hence Purther said I should consider using specific answers for why my best answer is the better answer for my 2-hour presentation. As for Pittman, she didn't suggest anything and for the most part, I'd assume she'd enjoyed what I had to say. It was nerve-wracking, but because it's something that I've been researching for months now, it also flowed really well.
Also, my mentorship hours were completed Friday, as well. I completed a total of exactly 50 hours with my mentor, Mary Vilchis. As far as I know, I'm going to continue going and doing hours with her until summer begins, simply because I love it there and if they need the help, then I'm certainly available. I hope this is a good sign and that they invite me to go from time to time. I also have high hopes for myself and hope that eventually they even hire me.
As for my actual 2-hour presentation, I just recently started working on the powerpoint because that is currently the only thing I have to be worried about. Now my exit interview is over, my I-Search paper was turned in, my research count has been finalized (for quite some time now) and I've found out who/what to prepare for. Now all I have left to really prepare for is my 2-hour itself and my product presentation. I would definitely say that I'm nervous, but I'm also just glad to finally be getting it over with. By getting it over with, I don't mean I had a terrible time doing all of this, but I am anxious about several things. I'm afraid of not making time and not having enough people interested in what I have to say. I hope I find the right words and do really well. Overall, I am very happy with how far I've gotten.
