ARTillery Follow-up & Woodford Day 01

So it's been two weeks, what can I say I've been very lazy. I've been taking it fairly easy the last fortnight, destressing after the craziness of organizing ARTillery. I didn't end up being really worried when we were setting up on Thursday and Friday the 8th and 9th. We'd done all the hard work and just had to push everything in the right direction.

Hate to do this but I'm going to cut this short and summarize the help out of it. I'm in a tent at Woodford right now and I want to sleep. The weekend was a great success, we ended up with 160 or so the first night. The place was packed with peoples, very exciting. Teri and I gave speeches, mine informal, hers tugged on my heart strings.

Rained a lot for the rest of the weekend so there were much less peoples. It was supposedly one of the best events Amnesty QLD has ever done, I'm very pleased with that. They said that they want me to stay on board and hope I can do more events in the future.

I certainly will! I've decided to re-enter the academic world. Good thing my enrollment hadn't expired. I'll be doing two subjects this semester and will be working closely with the UQ Amnesty group.

I'll be at Woodford for the next week campaigning for women's rights in Egypt. But it's pretty much a vacation. Man there's a lot of loud people around here... I do have earplugs.

Sorry this was so short, just felt like I should post something but wasn't really in the mood. Well that's it then.
