This morning sees me really quite excited. Last night was the first meeting of the group organising the Greenwich and Woolwich film festival. Such small festivals, run by volunteers, are becoming quite popular; getting involved in one was too good an opportunity for me to miss. Last night was only an initial ice-breaker to gauge interest and get the ball rolling, but it was well attended and generated a good discussion. I made a few contributions and suggestions. Not much was set in stone last night, but I am now eager to get involved: I’m thinking about doing something based on my MA subject. I now can’t wait for the next meeting.

I also want to note that, even though the meeting was in a local pub, I didn’t drink a drop of alcohol; I now feel rather proud of myself.
