I've been given an assignment at the internship that is exciting but will definitely add to my finals workload. The project is to interview the head of a graduate recruitment program at a charity and to do a Q and A with a student in the program. These interviews will be the basis for the launch of the magazine's first Facebook page. The Facebook page will promote and offer information from the Third Sector Job Search website. It will allow graduates and students to access information on job openings in the third sector. The total word count will be roughly 1,200 words which is the same as my BLC and IIC papers.

So far I've been able to contact the head of the graduate scheme at Cancer Research UK and they have begun searching for the right people to speak with me. Ideally, I was supposed to do face-to-face interviews but they told me e-mail interviews will have to suffice. I finally agreed but now I'm concerned they'll stiff me on the information. Luckily, they noted down my word count for each interview so they might be able to pull through with enough info. I set my deadline for next Friday, the 12th, but my final deadline is the 18th. I can do this assignment outside the office too so that helps too.

Well, I'm off to work on my papers for class. I've disappointed lately at my inability to make progress. Two of them are due next Tuesday. I have introductory paragraphs, outlines and some research for both. More work is needed. Wish me luck!
