For part of the Hansard Program I must write a dissertation of roughly 35 pages on a topic of choosing relating to British politics. In between my two classes today, I met with my one professor to finalize my topic--we settled on a comparison of UK and US environmental policy through examination of various legislation. The UK is the first nation to set clear carbon emission reduction guidelines and put them into law.
After my last class I went to visit the National Gallery and saw my firs Da Vinci and Van Gogh in person. I must say photos of Van Gogh's do not give his work justice; you really need to see the piece in person. The thick brushstrokes and rich texture bring another dimension to the painting that photos like the one below cannot display.

...possibly my favorite painting in the museum Van Gogh although here it's a little cut off
