This week I had to make a speech at my local Toastmasters meeting. I used the opportunity to talk about my intern experience last summer with Preservation Piedmont and about the research project I did with the Rosenwald schools. While I move into a new apartment on Saturday, I am putting the final touches on the Ardsley/Chatham cresent paper. I've taken this opportunity to completely redraft parts of it, and make some major changes. I've learned that I work better under pressure, and I think it will be evident with this draft of the paper. Also my heart goes out to the family and friends of the UVA student who was recently murdered. I feel like this case will create a new campaign to combat Drugs and Drinking in colleges. It will be interesting to watch the case unfold from a local perspective, in C-Ville which is a city that has a strong communal feeling.
