1 Mentor Log: 1 hour

I went to my regular therapist session Wednesday, Jan. 14. We did our session as usual and I brought up my senior project. We agreed that she wouldn't be able to be my primary mentor because her time is valuable and i only see her for one hour once every 2-3 weeks.

We brainstormed about who I could use as a mentor. We concluded that I wouldn't be able to use my psychiatrist either because I only see him every couple of months. She tried to think of people she knew in the field but didn't know anyone who would have the time to work with me without having to pay. She finally thought of a number I could use to call up at UGA to see if a lady that works there could set me up with a student working in the psychology field. The lady only works part time, and she wasn't sure what days.

I asked her about any ideas she could think of that I could use for my product. She brought up the brilliant idea of making a brain model. I could use clay to mold the brain. Then add different colors of the clay to highlight the different parts of the brain that are affected with a mental disorders. I thought this was a great idea and plan to use it for my product.
