I think that my favorite challenges this semester are
coming from both of the honors projects that I have to complete this semester
as a graduation requirement for Barrett. The first on I am working on is a proposal
studying the success of university entrepreneurship initiatives for PAF484. The
other honors project is analyzing and discussing the political spectacle that
is Vladimir Putin and reporting on it based on the readings of my public
service ethics class PAF460. Both projects are entirely different yet both are
intriguing.
PAF484 requires me to learn a slightly new task. As I
am familiar with setting up a research project I am not familiar with proposing
one so the challenge is in learning that skill as it will play an invaluable
role in the future career I seek to achieve. PAF460 is more of a traditional
report style paper but it has a fun twist because I am choosing to write the
paper in a very satirical form because I want it to be humorous. Not to poke
fun at Mr. Putin but to mock how the media skews the truth of political
language to create their own political truth that is fed to the public.
Are you in PAF 460 with Holland? I'm taking that class right now too! Nice twist with Putin, that should make it especially fun to write. It's cool to see that your favorite challenges are coming from these assignments though, it's a good sign when you can actually get psyched over a rough assignment. Kudos. And good luck on that ethics exam coming up!
