Journaling is about capturing people's thoughts. Sometimes these are your own, and sometimes these are the thoughts of other people.
In the spirit of my capstone project, I invite my capstone classmates who have officially finished their presentation to share their thoughts.
C'mon, let us all know what you have learned from your capstone project this semester.
What would you have done differently? What did you like the most?
What emotions are you feeling and what are the thoughts traipsing through your head?
Go ahead, be as creatively descriptive as possible!

I have learned a lot this semester thanks to my capstone. I learned that time mangement and organization skills are some the most important and useful skills you can learn.
ReplyDeleteI've also learned that websites, like Rome (as they say) aren't built in a day, even on hosting servers that give you a template. You have to work hard to make them your own.
Even though my capstone was one the most stressful things I have ever done, I am glad that I now have a sense of accomplishment upon completing it.

WOW.... What have I learned from my capstone project...? That is loaded question. If I were to writing every lesson I have learned throughout this capstone semester I could overload this blog.
ReplyDeletePersonally for me, my capstone project was a hard taught but enjoyable lesson on why you should pick a subject that you are passionate about and a subject that will allow you to display your talents and wonderful things you have learned throughout the last four years.
Aside from the obvious of starting earlier and taking a little more time to breath, if I were given the opportunity to completely restart my capstone I would have done more research. Particular regarding the other schools as well as look into the late history of Piedmont College student events.
Probably my favorite part of capstone was the end product. This meaning that after sixteen weeks of STRESS, STRESS, STRESS and ummmm oh yeah STRESS, I was able to sit back and take pride in something that I had created from scratch.
I also truly enjoyed the chance to share the time in the capstone class with my classmates and some of my best friends. The things that we have been through in this class, makes the stress of the future look like walk in the park.
Ha... My emotions just before I went to present were somewhere between an anxiety attack and passing out. I have got to be honest and say that the first 3 minutes of my presentation were the most nerve racking 3 minutes of my entire life. I usually like to consider myself a pretty cool guy under stress but this was on a different level. However, after the last question, it was like the weight of the Empire State building had just been lifted off my shoulders. That moment was one of the most joyous of my life. I EVEN GOT A HANDSHAKE FROM THE MAN.
I can honestly say now that my presentation is done, the sense of accomplishment and relief is much needed and feels GREAT.
I now look forward to the day I walk up to receive my degree. I cannot believe FOUR years have gone by already. I will deeply miss everyone and everything about Piedmont College.

I find myself feeling strange. I do not feel anxious or relaxed. It is more of a strange calmness that I haven't had before.
ReplyDeleteDuring my presentation I was sporadic and almost manic, but I got through without too many people noticing (I hope.) I feel good about it (minus the near choking experience.)
Word to the wise: Have a sip of water with you.
But I punched through just the same. Looking back on the semester, I do not believe I have done so much work in my entire life. Looking back on the year, I cannot believe it is nearly over. College is closing its final chapter for now and it's hard to believe. I dedicated four years to Piedmont. It was good, bad, wonderful, annoying and sometimes even beneficial. What I learned here is not only academic but also personal. I learned who I want to be and who I definitely do not want to be.
Overall, Capstone is a piece of the closing of my stay at Piedmont. It is hard to believe really. Seems like I should be back in the fall.
In 11 days I'm going to board an airplane for England. I do not know what is ahead for me, but college has taught me who I am. I will act accordingly.
sayonara, au revoir,

It took me a long time to decide what I wanted to do for my Capstone. I finally settled on my love for the Music Department as an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot harder than I had ever thought, but it was worth it.
I remember Freshman year, the Capstone project seemed completely undoable.
Sophomore year, it seemed a little more within reach.
Junior year, I realized I could do it.
Senior Year, I did it.
Looking back, I am not sure how I did everything I did, but I know that it was done and I am proud.
I am not sure where my life will take me from here, but I feel assured that my time at Piedmont has prepared me for my future.
