This has been a pretty good week. Since my forensic class is over, I am finding that I
have a lot more time to get my assignments done as well as a little leisure time. I have
always had a deep love for forensic type work; at one point in my life, I thought about
majoring in forensics. However, I thought that I would enjoy this line of work better.
Unlike in my CD classes, forensics just seems to come as second nature to me. I can
spend hours trying to figure a case out or do an experiment without being concerned
about how much time has elapsed. It is for this reason, I always question if I chose to be
in the right field of study. My mom has tried to reassure me that I am having doubts,
because I am in my senior year and I know that I will probably be a speech pathologist
until the day I graduate. She has always told me that I enjoy my forensics class so much,
because it is a break away from the CD classes; maybe, this that is the case. Hopefully, she is right!

I have really been working a lot with my client. Yesterday, we went to Camden Park. I haven't been there in years, and I probably won't go there again for a very long time, if ever. My client wanted to ride the Sky(something); I don't really recall the name of it. Since the ride had to be balanced a certain way, I had to ride in a cart with a man, a very crazy man! There is a steering wheel in the ride that you can control; well, the man I was with controlled it and nearly killed me. First, my money came out of my pockets. Then, the side of my head slammed against the cage, leaving a big knot. To beat it all, when the ride stopped, I thought the man was being nice by picking up my money; however, once I finally got out of the cage, he and my money were gone. It wasn't a lot of money, but it is the priniciple; he was a total jerk!Today, I am covered with big bruises on my both of my legs, one of my arms, and one on the left side of my head; I look like someone has beaten me up or something.

Now, in regards to the class, a quick run down to this week's tasks. Early in the week, I submitted my research bibliography; I have really been finding a lot
of informative sites. I also did some other tasks that were not part of this week’s
assignments but really needed to be taken care of. For instance, I spent time a
great deal of time trying to organize and fix my webliography; it still isn’t the exact way I
want it, but it is definitely getting closer. In addition, I changed some of my genres. One
thing I decided to do was make the poem be written by the mother rather than the child; I
feel this really helped to tie things together better. Also, instead of using a newsletter
from the mother, I chose to delete the newsletter all together, replacing with a pamphlet. The reason for this is that I feel that I can use the pamphlet as part of the introduction for the MRP. Another change I may make is to replace the lesson plan with a journal or story from the child with Asperger Syndrome. Originally, I wanted to, first, present the lesson plan and then show how it should be modified to meet the needs of the individual with Asperger Syndrome. However, I am now working on a new approach that I feel will work out better after talking to a few professionals. Instead of addressing what we should now about the Asperger Syndrome, I am going to focus more on accepting. I kind of
know what I want to do, but my new angle is still a little rough.

When working on my genres for this week, I created a really nice pamphlet; however,
when I added it to my webliography, it is completely different. I am really proud with
how my poem turned out. To create it, I took words from a mother of a child with
Asperger Syndrome and words from my mother since she works one-on-one with a client with this diagnosis. I found out earlier this term that I am an aural learning, and I really
agree with the results; although I have read all of this material, talking to my mother
really caused a light bulb to glow brighter.

My goals for this week are to try to tie this all together and once and for all find the angle
I want to approach, so I won’t have to keep modifying my project. Also, this week, I found out that it is "Asperger Syndrome" rather than "Asperger's Syndrome", so I need to edit all of my entries.My question for this week concerns the pamphlet. Is there a way to present my pamphlet in my webliography to appear the way I created it rather than looking like a really poor excuse of an outline?
