Feeling artsy

Exciting news! The course I'm on is pretty set in stone, meaning we only get to choose one class, called a specialism. The specialism is a topic we'd like to explore and learn to cover as a sort of beat reporter. We were asked to prioritize three from a list, and I got my first choice! I'll be in the development specialism, where we analyze the press's coverage of the developing world and the process of development, and then learn to report on it ourselves. I'm really looking forward to starting it next week, and hopefully I'll be able to get involved with some local diaspora communities and volunteer organizations.

In other news, today Allister and I went to see Love From London: A City of Stars at the Getty Images Gallery. Though the exhibit was fairly small, it was a series of black and white photos of celebrities around London, and was--to put it lamely--really cool.

Then we walked over to the British Museum to check out the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles and the statue from Easter Island. Feeling artsy, I snapped a few photos:





Definitely not going in Getty Images anytime soon, but isn't the British Museum lovely? That's all I've got for now. Hope everyone's well!

Love,
Jess
