It’s been a busy busy week, and it’s not over yet! There seems to be lots going on all of a sudden, I’m not sure I can keep up with myself at the moment.
My uni course has started for real this week, and we’ve hit the ground running with an interpretation project: putting on a mini exhibition at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Art Gallery, in a team of 13, in 2 weeks. It’s terrifying, but exciting, and I think we’re doing ok so far. Our exhibition of Drinking Culture in the Late Eighteenth Century will be on display in the Education Room of the gallery from the 14th October (hopefully), so come and have a look if you’re passing.
As well as uni work, I’m volunteering as a steward at Ilkley Literature Festival which starts tomorrow with Simon Armitage and the world premier of his Stanza Stones poems, which is all very exciting! We had a stewards briefing the other night so now I’m fully up to date on what to do if an author is stuck on a train, a fire breaks out, anyone faints, or someone complains about a squeaky chair! Some of the headline events are sold out, but there are still lots of events with tickets left, so have a look on the website and see if anything takes your fancy. All the fringe events are free and you don’t have to book, so just turn up and see what’s going on.
On top of all that I’ve just started a creative writing evening course at Shipley College, which is really interesting and is giving me the time to sit and write – so if I create anything good I might stick it on here and see what people think.
One last little thing, it’s Light Night in Leeds on Friday 7th October – I’ve never been before but there looks to be loads of weird and wonderful stuff going on all over the city centre that evening, and I’ve heard good reports from Leeds students who’ve been before, so that’s something else to look forward to!
