Senior Project Day One

Day one of my senior project has been all about laying the foundations for my next few weeks. My senior project is comprised of two parts: interning at Cobb and writing a research paper. I'm currently finalizing the details of my internship at Cobb. I should start tomorrow; working as either a tutor or as an administrative aid. My research paper is a comprehensive look at the allocation of funds towards public education in California. Today I organized the paper into three sections, each occupying a week of my project time. The first: What are the primary budget problems that led to the passage of Prop 30? The second: What does Prop 30 propose to solve? What does it not solve? The third: What can/should/could be done to help solve California's structural budget problems, specifically in regards to education? I started on the first question today. I've already written up an outline and spent time in the library today accumulating sources.
