Week 6- Nuclear Movement and guilt.

So, I haven’t started my internship yet.  I’ve been guiltily putting it off knowing I’ll be able to start the weekly office work later, and then fulfilling the remainder hours requirement working at a day- long event.  This is bad. It’s starting to pick at my conscience more and more every day.  My project manager, Brandon, has not been in touch with me the last two weeks, as he’s been swamped setting up their Spring/ Summer schedule.  But I think it’s time to get going.  I’ll give Brandon a call next week (after midterm papers and finished and submitted) and get going on it.

Aside from that, my thoughts of the week are that I’m tired.  I’m really looking forward to Spring break.  And I can’t believe we’re only 6 weeks into the semester.  

We studied the nuclear movement this week.  I really enjoyed the film clip.  It was an important reminder how activism at the grass roots level is so important.  Parents, concerned over the safety of their children, were able to take on a huge corporation shutting down their local nuclear power plant.  These people actually shut down a nuclear power plant!!  I love it!  And in the process have been able to share their information, process, and goals with others enabling people to promote a safer future.  It took them many years to accomplish these objectives, but perseverance and patience were clearly two factors necessary to their success.
