The Results Are In!

I finished the book and presented it to the class on December 18. Despite being incredibly frantic and fully-reliant on Red Bull to stay awake and alert, it went exceptionally well. The book looked amazing, and received great reviews from my fellow capping classmates. Now, my teacher’s results have been posted…

And I got an A.

Despite a lack of pictures on some pages, despite not including all of the content I wanted to, and despite the two errors on page 21 (as well as some other slight typos) I got an A on the biggest project I have ever taken on during my college career. I couldn’t be more proud of myself.

The future of the bucket is pretty clear: I’ll continue to blog and write my newspaper column (check the “Bar Hopping” addition to the Expanding the Bucket section). Hopefully I’ll find time to continue to work on the book and attempt to generate some publishing interest within Dutchess County.

As for winter break, I’ll be at Marist for a short period of time working off campus. Hopefully I can sneak in an adventure or two, but in case it isn’t in the cards, I have plenty to catch up on that I missed at the end of last semester. For now, here are a few PDFs of pages for those of you who weren’t able to sneak a peak during production/after presentation. Enjoy!

The cover of the book, featuring an epic snapshot of the first adventure of the semester -- leaping into the Hudson.

A brief look at the beauty of the Walkway Over the Hudson, from the "Attractions" section.

Mug Night at Rennie's was a must in the "Bars" section. Thanks to Karen Wolff for donating the photograph!

Back cover of the "Theme Parties" section. Each back cover included a Golden Rule to abide by during all of that section's adventures.

Of course, all of the above material as well as the material included in this blog is property of me, Kait Smith. Thanks!
