In the last few days, I have been progressing with the campaign and if I am correct, should soon have someone looking at my article for The Student Journals on the subject. I have so far got two stories, however, I have just been looking to confirm a venue for the event and a date. I am still waiting to here back from a possible partner organisation, however, I should get an email back within the next week or so. Unfortunately, as I found out the hard way, Darlington is very bad for organisations that deal with migration and equality. I am now looking at Plan B which is to partner up with the local university student union, Teesside, however, the rep that deals with equality there is still to reply to me.
The Venue
Well, the venue is proving harder to book than I thought. Not because it's not available but because the manager gave me an email address that bounces back and I think could be incorrect. I plan to follow this up next week, however, I could do with getting details firmed up pretty soon. The event is meant to be held in the week of the 5th May, however, I will just have to aim for then and see what happens.
So, I'm making progress, slowly. Once I get a date confirmed I have something to work around. It means I can start spreading the word and I can start putting the bits for the event in place.As much as I enjoy the volunteering, it is annoying when you can't do much until next week and have a very limited time to do a big event in.
College priorities
As much as I would like to make my priority my volunteering, this isn't currently possible as I have a "Final Digital Media Product" project starting for college as soon as I go back, as well as having to improve other bits of work. On the other hand, I plan to do my project on volunteering so they both kind of fit in with each other. I like volunteering and I like college but which one is better? FIGHT! Just joking. Of course, i have to prioritize studies. Overall, I am getting there, however, it's just taking a while.
60 hours in two weeks
With regards to my challenge of sixty hours of volunteering in two weeks, I am getting there, however, I'm kind of running out of things to do for my volunteering, aside from bits that I can't do until Tuesday. Plus, I don't really want to bombard my editors with articles like I have done in the past. I might do a long one for ShoutOut UK so I'm sharing the editing burden out equally. I'm just looking for a subject to write about though.
Overall, the volunteering challenge and everything else is going well, however, it's just going very slowly at the moment. As much as this sounds bad, I'm hoping to get Team v stuff out of the way so I can concentrate on this college project, however, it might be kind of impossible. Anyway, wish me #vgoodluck
