Finishing Projects

I've been very, very busy this Bank Holiday. I finally finished my 2,000 word essay for Television Genres which started out with talking about the hybridize nature of the news, but in the end I changed the topic into the study of gender ideologies within children's television. I used some of the examples from class, but most of the examples I used were from America. I ended up using over twelve sources for the paper.

Also, one of the people from my Video Productions group came to me and told me that we needed to edit the video. It's funny b/c it's due within a couple of days and the writers told her that it was her and my job to edit the video. I don't mind editing it, but I really would've wish they had told me it wasn't done before it got this late. But, it's fine as long as she shows up b/c she knows what room to work in and what file they named it.

I'm halfway done with everything that needs to be turned in. Now, all I have to do is write a couple of papers and finish with my group on doing the live radio show. And the video production project as well.

I've asked some of my British buddies what "Bank Holiday" was about and the most they could tell me was "I don't know, but most of the businesses close during that time and we get the day off."
