When I helped coordinate my first ever event, and 1500 people ended up turning up, I remember being so incredibly stressed, yet the feeling when something went right was amazing. As stressful as organising and coordinating that Open Day was, it was one of the most rewarding and fun experiences of my life so far. I'm feeling the same way with the upcoming (possible) two month tour event.
As it still isn't a confirmed event due to waiting on approvals etc (we're keeping our fingers and toes crossed it can happen), it's been a little difficult to coordinate an event you don't know if you're having. Especially in the current financial situation - you don't exactly want to go ahead and spend so much money to be told it's not happening anymore. As a result, it's been stressful as there is so much work to do in regards to preparation and possibilities, however, nothing can go ahead yet officially. I've been spending my time doing as much as I possibly can to have everything organised to push and move forward when we get the go-ahead. I've also completed my script for the short film which will be edited this month for release in September.
Unfortunately, not much new has happened as of yet due to the mass workload of the two projects, however, I wrote my first article for the organisation's internal newsletter. This has helped me to try and hone my writing skills as the internal newsletter allows you to have a little fun, whilst I'm so used to writing formally.
I've unfortunately only got one more week left of my internship this time around, and once again I don't want to leave. Hopefully the project will have taken off when I write my final blog post next week.
Hope everyone is having a fantastic time at their work placements :)
