I got to class after the 9:15 bell because my bus was late, which was annoying.
My classmates informed me that we were supposed to work primarily on our thesis projects and that college apps were only secondary in importance, so I contacted my mentor. Our last Pratham get-together was in mid-November, and she told me she was leaving to India right afterwards and returning at the beginning of December, so I wasn't sure if she was back yet. Either way, I emailed her today asking her if we could discuss the potential ideas I had for my thesis and figure out a time we could either meet in person and work on organizing it or keep in touch through email for now and maybe meet over Christmas break.
As of now, I have a lot of material to use as the foundation for my thesis project. What I hope to do is organize an event in the Dallas/Fort Worth community that acts as both a fundraising as well as entertainment event. Below is an excerpt from my email to my mentor:
"What I basically hope to do is organize an event of some sort in the Dallas-Fort Worth area where anyone could come to learn more about Pratham and its cause. I’d like for it to be a one-time fundraising event, but also an event where people can come out with their families. I’m still not sure exactly what this event will be, but I’m thinking of something like a large outdoor get-together where there will be exhibits and maybe even a slideshow running..."

Shortly after that, my mentor texted me saying I should call her this evening to discuss things further. Hopefully we can get something sketched out in the coming weeks, in time for the mid-term presentations in January.
After that, I made a short visit to Ms. Marberry and spent the remaining time looking through the resources posted on Edmodo. I also spent a few minutes emailing myself all the college essay files I had saved on my network drive.
Also, SCEA decisions in 15 days! (Not that I'm keeping track or anything... Okay, maybe I am.)
