On Tuesday we started to outline our idea for the legs of the bench. We came up with a few different ones but none that really made us want to do them. We thought about polka dots, swirls, all different fun crazy designs. We didn't pick any of these. We decided to do something that doesn't require drawing it out first, its all freehand. After we came up with this we went over all the writing again in black or white so that it stuck out more. When we were finished with this we brainstormed ways to do what we wanted to on the legs so that we could start tomorrow!

On Monday we went to Walmart to get the pot and flower for our bench. We decided we were going to put it in the new wellness center. We didn't think that we should have it be outside because the paint would chip off. We also checked with maintenance and they didn't really seem to into it, which we understand. We outlined the pot with different designs on what we are going to paint on it. We got a pineapple flower that never dies and will always grow back. A pineapple is the sign of "Welcome" and we thought that went really nicely with the flow of our kindness bench. We are starting to paint the pot on Tuesday and get everything together to present on Wednesday!

This week was fun, exciting and something totally new. I love the idea of being able to take time out of my Proctor experience to leave something that means a lot to Katelyn, Mack and I. Our bench is a symbol for kindness and we have been working really hard on it. I wasn’t here on Tuesday or Wednesday because of what I explained in my past blog post and I made up for everything I missed; hours and work. When I got back and was able to begin work on the bench we started out on Thursday by painting the second coat. It takes a while to dry so we began to plan out our bench for the remaining time before practices in the afternoon. On Friday we went back to working on our plan for what we wanted to put on the bench. We came up with cool ideas to spread out different quotes that mean a lot to us, in different ways, all across the front of the bench. We want to incorporate Proctor colors into the bench and since it is already white, we thought we would put green stripes along side the quotes...

On Monday-Tuesday, I was away with my Dad visiting a college, Hobart and William Smith. I wasn't able to contribute to our senior project because I was gone. While I was at William Smith, I toured around the campus and met many new people. It was for sure the most beautiful campus I had ever been on. My dad and I stayed in a hotel on Monday night so that I could have more time at the school. It is a 6 hour drive so it made sense to stay over. On Tuesday night we didn't get back until late and I had to make my decision on where I was going to college so I drove back up Wednesday morning which is why I missed that day of working on the bench also. I have mad up for what I missed and the hours I missed!
