Turner - Senior Thesis

1. I applied to Purdue University and almost submitted my Uni Oregon application.

1. I gave Mr. Correa my Oregon, Purdue, and Common App essays+supplements to look over 2. I corrected what he told me to change 3. I reworked my ApplyTexas essay and started on my UT supplements (a little late... I know)

1. I talked to my mentor about changing the goal of my thesis to create small projects before releasing an album and he agrees. 2. He directed me to an interview that I watched about making music as a small artist. 3. I named my next project (an EP), "Beautiful State of Mind" 4. I created the album art for it.

1. I did some more refining on my Common App essay. (30 minutes) 2. I added A&M to my college list again and I started its supplements/apply texas essay. (60 minutes)

1) I started my bibliography which was pretty difficult since I don't really do research to make music. I did track down some videos I watched on YouTube a while back that helped me a lot and I put them in the bibliography. I also put the websites that I used to research old symbols of mountains, clouds, oceans, etc. 2) I continued working on beats for the album. I'm not sure if I want to change my thesis to just releasing music twice every month because it's hard for me to achieve similar sounding tracks that fit together but sound different enough to stand on their own. I may switch to making an EP every two months. So I'd drop four projects this year with 4-6 songs in each one. This way I can stay focused and not put this off until the end. Each EP would also be more representative of me as a person since I'll be releasing a new project every two months, making them more relevant to my style/taste/feelings at the moment. EP would drop sometime in December.

1. I added some more colleges that I'm thinking about applying to. Uni of Toronto, Uni of Washington, and Boston Uni all seem like good places I'd enjoy. I'm still researching them. 2. I tried to schedule an interview with USC but it turns out all their appointments are taken. 3. Finished up my supplements for Uni of Oregon.

1.  I've cut two colleges off of my list (Seattle Uni and Santa Clara) 2. I ADDED CALPOLY AND I'M SO EXCITED 3. I've gained an interest in becoming an architect! 4. Did half of my calpoly app
