The courses I've done or am planning to do are Climate change (S250_3), An introduction to sustainable energy (T206_2), Health and environment (SK220_2, Introducing Environment – taster materials (Y161_1, Introducing the environment: ecology and ecosystems (Y161_2) etc. Does that help??soozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16727933470111599594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-43304552631430728322009-11-29T21:10:39.765+00:002009-11-29T21:10:39.765+00:00Hello, I just came across your blog on Mrs Green&#...Hello, I just came across your blog on Mrs Green's.

(Haven't checked them out yet, might wanna take a look?) http://www.enviro-space.com/index.php?showtopic=1562 <br><br>Also, since you're an English major, have you thought of writing freelance articles or columns for magazines or such? (That's something I've done locally on a very small level, and hope to continue later on..)<br>You could check any student papers or magazines or local papers/magazines.. Or see if there's Writer's Market in your local library, or any books on freelancing: I recommend Jenna Glatzer, Kelly James-Enger and I've heard good things of Renegade Writer?Laylahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00832545657562957725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-9189678744364741352009-11-27T21:15:34.757+00:002009-11-27T21:15:34.757+00:00Hi Danda - Thanks, I figured I might as well enjoy...Hi Danda - Thanks, I figured I might as well enjoy my free time :) <br><br>Layla - I'd not heard of idealist before but just had a look and it's awesome! Thanks! Most of the positions are in London, but I did find one in my little town (although it's working at a adventure campsite and living in on site in a cabin, which is actually a job I used to have!) It's deifinately going into my 'jobs' folder so I can keep my eye on it!soozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16727933470111599594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-82374440159693178742009-11-27T16:58:12.017+00:002009-11-27T16:58:12.017+00:00WOW!!
