Retroactivity

I have neglected this blog to a great degree, having undertaken several new initiatives since November. Among them is finishing up my thesis work for the Honors College at the University of Central Arkansas and resuming my internship with the Parks and Recreation Department of Little Rock. Both are related, but since there's more action packed into my internship I will begin my posts with the beginning of my internship.

January-esque
I've started my internship with the Parks and Recreation Department. I even have a title! Park Planning Specialist. Does it confer me any serious responsibilties? Not really...but it does establish me as an actual employee and not just an intern.

Of course, my internship is focused around developing an Open Space policy for the city. I'm not completely certain how I'll start. I'll need to do some consulting with Mark Webre (my boss) to find out what direction I should take. I get the feeling I'll just pick up where I left off last summer with a compendium of Open Space Ordinances from various cities.
