Having had two weeks to volunteer, I have now reached 59 hours of volunteering and by the time I get to the end of this post and put it on Twitter, it should be 59 and a half. I accept that sometimes it's hard to find what to volunteer for to get the hours up (especially around Easter) but I've managed to do it by writing for Backbench UK, ShoutOut UK, the 99% campaign blog, doing Team V, writing on here, volunteering for Youth Council, Barnardos and Oxfam. Someone point any that I might have missed out. I know it looks mad setting myself all these volunteering challenges but I'm now on 372 hours overall, so they are worth it. It also saves me from sitting around at home, bored.
So, you are probably wondering what challenge I will set myself next. To be honest, I'm not sure myself, however, I will definitely let you know when I do. My next challenge is to try to get a confirmed venue and organisation to work with for Routes to Roots . I have a potential venue and an organisation that I'm waiting to here back from. So, I am getting there but I start a big project when I get back to college. It, hopefully, will all balance out in the end. I think my next challenge will just be to finish this Team v Campaign with a good result. I should be able to do it. I just need to get a move on.
I've currently, since the start of my Team v journey done around 99 hours of volunteering and no, I'm not setting myself the challenge to get to one-hundred. That's easy. Oh well. I'm getting there, even if it is slowly. I think my challenge is going to have to be to get to 400 hours in the next few months. I know that's not much of a challenge but more of a target.

Please keep a track of three hash-tags on Twitter, if you use it. #RoutestoRoots , #teamvgo and #TeamVDarlington as I hope to keep you all up to date with my Team v progress. At least I'm not loads behind. That was my worry.
In a way, I'm going to miss Team v once I've finished but I'm also not going to. By this I mean that I'll miss working on a specific issue and with some amazing people but I'll also be grateful to have the time back to concentrate on college and other volunteering work. Team v hasn't taken priority over college but I think I could have spent more time on coursework.
I'm speaking about it as if Team v is over but it's not. It's just coming to an end and I'm looking forward to Graduation and any opportunities that might come with it. On the other hand, if I'm going to have as many weeks off as I did last summer, I might have to find some additional volunteering to do. It should be good. Anyway, I'm off and hope to get to the 60 target by the end of today. I will tweet once it's done.
