Meeting Mr Chowne

Ok so I have met (for the first time) my dissertation supervisor, Peter. And I have to say that he has enabled me to feel as though I have more direction with my topic, athough I have to say that I really dont feel that I have done enough towards it at the moment, and although part of it is time management on my part I also feel that the coursework deadlines have been badly organised. cest la vie. just gotta get on. Anway, back to the big D - Today I discussed with Peter the new direction I had gone in after speaking with James and he has advsied me to familiarise myself with the way in which local government is divided, such as unitary authorities. He has also suggested, as I from the south of the UK I could look at Brighton and Hove and maybe do a comparison with Medway (also in the South) I want to look at the different events they put on yearly and why they chose to do these events. I also will be looking at the different funding bodies such as the lottery and the arts council, maybe looking at teh reasoning for thier funding and vested interests. I cant say that I really looking forward to this and I really hope that I get more into it, I dont like the idea of writing so much about something that i cant get my teeth into, however i think the more reasearch I do the more I may become enthused.

This course will beover in four weeks and I still have so much to do so back to the other many assignments (only 22,000 words to do before end of term...hmmm)
