As I reach the end of week one of my project a few things have become clear:

• I have lots of work to do. (I knew that, but now I know it, know it)
• I’m fascinated by the idea of Waste-to-Energy.
• Waste management is as much a cultural and political thing as it is a financial thing.
• I’ve been too lenient on my study load.*

*That last one may turn out to not be true, since I made adjustments to my Hindi study routine and took on a new client this week. I’ll have to give it more time. For now, I’ll continue to commit to at least one article and blog post a week and assume anything beyond that is icing on the cake.

I’ll be reviewing my notes from the week tomorrow, as well as printing any reference materials attached to them. I want to make a habit of reviewing notes at the end of each week because very soon it’s going to get very daunting and I want to help my memory out as much as possible. There’s a lot to take in.

Also, I’m going to try and make a short Hindi video at the end of each week talking (in a limited way) about what I learned that week, so that I make time to learn the proper vocabulary to talk about these issues. On that note, here’s video #1!
