Week 3

So after speaking to the course co-ordinator it seems like it's a bit of a stretch to participate in the Food and Wine Festival because of the late date. After the event there needs to be an evaluation period (meeting), a final reflection blog posting and a case study of the experience needs to be posted online - and it may be just too long after the semester has finished to be acceptable. My course co-ordinator has said it will be ok if everything is done before the end of week 16 - so I'll have to be super organised - and the evaluation period willl have to happen quicksmart!

So I have tried to organise some better alternatives. This morning I have called four organisations. Three of which are unable to accomodate me. I spoke to James Mackay - the Newcastle Council events manager and have organised to meet with him next Monday afternoon (two days before my meeting with Nelson Bay Town Management). If it doesn't work out with the council - it will have to be the Food and Wine Festival - which I really want to do - it sounds fun! James from the Council is not sure if what he has coming up in his schedule will be that beneficial for me - he has several small events coming up in August/September.

This is stressful.

I'll post on Monday and let you know how it goes..
