Weekend Updates!

Coming into the first week of December, I'm ready for busy days. I have three final papers due the week after this one and a new project at Third Sector. The papers shouldn't be too much of a hassle, but they are lengthy. My papers are:

1)British Life and Cultures- A 1500 word paper on an aspect of British history or culture. I'm doing an analysis of how Charles Dickens advocated against social ills such as poverty in Oliver Twist.

2)Media in Britain- My topic of choice is to analyze how newspapers endorse government policies based on their readers' political leanings.

3)Internship Seminar- Put the semester's papers into a lengthy analysis of how I progressed within my internship.

At Third Sector, I'm going to work on a long term project to get younger readers to use the website's job search function. The idea was mine actually. I told the web editor that college students and recent grads might find such a service useful when searching for job opportunities. The project will involve creating a Facebook group and interviewing charity officials about their current programs for students and young professionals. I'm really excited. This is reminiscent of the projects I researched and implemented at the Career Center. Unfortunately, I only have three weeks left. I hope to make some progress on the initiative.

In the meantime, I will leave you with these photos from my walk today through Kensington Gardens. Enjoy.
