Since the beginning of the trimester I have changed my essential question and my thesis statement. My new essential question is “What does it take to mange a successful restaurant?” and my new thesis statement is “In order to manage a successful restaurant there are many different aspects that need to be determined such as the theme of restaurant, the type of menu created. And the hiring of employees.”

Today's Progress
Today in class I got another chapter done for my graduation project. Today I finished the notes that I started on Tuesday. The notes are titled “What are the different levels of management?” I’ve gotten a good 3 ½ pages done, which I think is a good start.

In class what I am thinking
In class I am finishing the pre-writing for the proposal. I feel that this is going to be the hardest part because I am doing my project at my internship, which is at Max and Erma’s that is located in Downtown Pittsburgh. I really don’t know what I will be doing there yet so I am really looking forward to a new experience in that field. Plus I feel that it will help me in the field that I want to enter in after high school. The field that I want to enter is hospitality or known as hotel/motel/restaurant management. So therefore I don’t have any idea in what I will be doing at my internship.
