As April comes to a close I am realizing how close I am to finishing my project and graduating. This past month I finished up my second independent component and started working on my I-Search paper. My mentor, Anne, has not been doing much interpreting lately, but I was able to watch her translate on one occasion. This whole time I've been thinking that translation is not something I am interested in pursuing, but after watching and talking to Anne, I may consider trying it in addition to interpreting. I am going to a translation even at Cal Poly next week and it will be interesting to see what it's like and get more exposure to translation.
May is going to speed by. I've started thinking about and planning my final presentation, which is on the 26th. My greatest challenge will be coming up with an acceptable activity, as I have found that the skills required for interpreting are rather difficult to apply to monolingual students in an engaging manner via said activity. As far as senior project is concerned, after turning in my paper and completing my exit interview, I'll be able to focus all my attention on my final presentation, and that will be all!
