The second element was the continuation of my work with the non (1) · My original capstone project was to create an irrigation system for the plants in the Commons on top of the bookshelf.

My irri (1) · My project is a song that I've been working on since the beginning of September. It started out as a simple chord in a certain key signature and evolved greatly from that.

After deciding not to write the book, I felt more comfortable and natural making my capstone with a piano rather than a pencil. I started spending hours at the piano at home.

Nothi (1) · I had to change from a tri-fold like presentation to a slideshow which honestly in hindsight worked a lot better and I was able to fit a lot more information on it. (1) · It felt like I had to completely change my project. I had to downsize everything and almost start over. I lost the capability to set up the system how I had originally designed it.

I did the best that I could with the time that I had. I made a system that worked and that watered my plants.
