So, with only a few weeks left of college and 8 pieces of coursework to get up to Merit standard, as well as trying to organised an event for Team V for the 15th May, it's going a bit mad here. As much as I like volunteering, I am going to have to spend almost every waking hour working on it and assignments for college over the next few weeks. Okay, this is a bit of an exaggeration but you get what I mean. I, to be quite honest, cannot wait until I finish. It means two months break in which I can do whatever I like (within reason) and that will be great.
So, I guess you want to hear an update. Well, I realized that on my blog, my biggest readership is actually in America. Come on Brits, you're letting the side down. I now have an idea and most of the materials for my event, however, given that my preferred venue that said they would be happy to hold it have not got back to me, I think I might have to default to my usual venue; Darlington College. I might have to just plead with them on Monday.
If I can nail the event and get that over with, I'll be more relaxed. Mostly because I can then focus purely on my college work. Aside from this, thank you to all the people and organisations that have been supporting me on Twitter with volunteering and although it's a tool and not a person, if Buffer, the platform that is used to keep twitter up to date, was human, I would be thanking it right now. I love how I can just set a load of tweets and leave it to get on with it while I get on with my college work (or relax).
One thing that doesn't help is the confusing messages that I get from college, one time telling me work has to be finished in two weeks and then other tutors telling me four weeks. I accept that it might not be the same in every unit, however, lets just say the scare tactics are working. Tomorrow, I think, should be a day for concentrating on improving assignments.
I know my blog post isn't putting Team v or college in a very good light, however, they are both great things to do, even if for different reasons. I am, in a way, going to miss Team v but I'm going onto a level 3 course next year and it's going to be a lot of work. I need to concentrate on that. On the other hand, as one of my fellow leaders once said, "I didn't choose the Team v Life. The Team v Life chose me".
Finally, I would just like to give a big shout out to a project that is being run by a fellow Team v Leader, Chandos Green, #IFightFor . The project is to challenge the young people of the UK to accumulate 1 million volunteering hours, however, I can't see when from or to and how it's all recorded. If anyone knows anymore, please let me know. Overall, despite this last campaign being a challenge, I don't regret doing it at all. Team v has been a a great experience and I wouldn't change it for the world. I will keep up to date with my campaign locally but for now, Team V Out!
