T-7 days!!

Thank you Danielle for the Facebook plug, I feel I had better scribble an update for potential new readers/followers!! Time has flown by and I've been struggling to fit the gym in around course reading, classes and a new job doing some research at uni, and suddenly here we are at 7 days to go before we head off to the camps! I showed a BBC documentary on the historical and political background to the situation in Western Sahara to my MA class on Wednesday and fished out a few pics from the internet from last year's marathon to give them an idea of where we'll be next week - it was a great success and resulted in lots of questions and interest in the cause. We're aiming for another film screening next week here at Sussex and possibly a fundraising night at one of the campus bars if we can get ourselves organized in time. Looking forward to meeting the rest of the gang at our pre-departure gathering at Danielle's tonight!
