A Busy Time

The past three weeks have been my busiest of the year so far. Starting with Fairtrade Fortnight, I was desperately trying to get all the events and information stalls in order. It went pretty well in the first week. There was a debate about Fairtrade, which was well attended and had some good questions. We also managed to get a few stalls going on the ground floor of the Union.

However, week two was slightly less successful. I stood in the Union Executive elections, so instead of being able to supervise the Fairtrade Fortnight events, I had to wear a fluorescent yellow and pink T-shirt and hand out flyers for my campaign. It paid off, I'm Officer Without Portfolio-Elect, and the rest of the people on my slate all got elected as well. What didn't happen were the Fairtrade stalls that were due to take place. I'm a bit miffed that people didn't take the initiative and run the stalls themselves. Anyway, what's done is done.

The only slight problem with spending so much time on elections and the Fortnight was that I, sort of, forgot about my academic work. Hence, week three has been spent hurriedly writing and submitting course-work. I'm not sure its my best work, but it is in, and hopefully will get a decent mark.

So now I get to rest for a week or so, before exam revision takes over.
