Nov. 15th, 2011 11:26 amI have not one but two work experience students in early December. Both are year 11, and very clued into things. Two very impressive young people. The only lack in their make up is them wanting work experience with me, but that could be due to the ACT being not-very-big.
One wants to be a journalist, and will experience a cross-section of writerly/editorish activities (though nothing journalistic - I explained that it was the wrong time of year for that). Her activities will range, but right now I have planned interviewing, reading for sense, copy-editing and proof-reading (which is one reason why I need to have Secret Jewish Women's Business revised by then - the other reason is that there is someone who wants to see it and early to mid December is the best time).
The other wants to be a librarian. I kept on saying to her "It doesn't seem right that you have to spend a week sorting my books." There isn't enough time for cataloguing, but she will shelve the fiction and she will develop a system of things Medieval and renaissance and she will learn how to do and to check bibliographies.
It's going to be a fine week for all three of us.
