Today not too much got accomplished with my internship, which I found to be frustrating. The only work i managed to do was go through the existing website and look for errors, bad links, and outdated material. Surprisingly I found a decent handful of expired information, which for the time being i went onto the website and took down. I was unable to put up the correct information today as the faculty member sponsoring my internship was not there to give me permission to do so.

On the bright side though having completed this small task i am now aware of specific pages that need to be fixed, recreated, or just brought up to date with the current semester.

As a meeting is starting i will cut this off here for now

This past Friday the new parts of the website that I wrote were put online finally. Over the weekend to my dismay I caught a whole bunch of mistakes which I was able to take care of this morning when I got into the office. Furthermore over the weekend Dr. Steele recomended some further changes to layout which feel were beneficial to the layout of the website. Finally before this week is out I will have to erase information that is now out-of-date, and replace this information with new information as it becomes available.

So far though, in reflection, everything seems to be going ok. There have been a few minor set-backs and it's fairly frustrating because as i am writing the new pages i have to accommodate and think of what other additional pages will be added before they are ever created. So, it forces brainstorming, and proper planning, but at this early stage everything just seems so iffy and everything could be subject to change as the project progresses.

Though this post is a little late, I feel that it is important to write it anyhow. This past friday
I spent the day working on my project. Also I found that as things currently stand, the freshly re-qritten parts of the department's wep page should be going online within the next weeks time. Also I spent a good deal of time working on handouts for Dr. Steele's Soca 199 handouts. Unfortunately I finish re-writing the Criminology Handout, hopefully I will be able to finish the Sociology handout before they're due around 12:30 tomorrow afternoon. If not, she said the old ones would suffice for one more day.

Futhermore another difficulty I have come across deals with the group meetings hosted over e-campus chat. I feel that they are overly long, drawn out, and that because of this they are a waste of my time. Hopefully I will be able to join one of the groups that meets in a face-to-face manner, which would make me alot more comfortable with these meetings.
