I ache all over today and I really need a good nights sleep to get some energy back. It's all the result of yesterday. A group of us from Derby Fine Art 3rd year (along with a few other supporters) did a sponsored walk to raise more funds for our Degree show catalogue. We walked about 7 miles down Dovedale until we cut across into Biggin dale. The weather was quite kind to us really, apart from a few hail showers we got off quite lightly.
An interesting thing I have discovered at University is that it is the same people who are involved in every event and fundraiser. The same people who work so hard and put so much in whilst the same people just can't be bothered or are not in the slightest bit interested. These people will reap the benefit of the small hardworking group's efforts without even having to raise a finger. Is this right? is it fair? probably not. It's just the way it is.
It would be interesting to find out if this scenario is common to other universities or wether it is a curse affecting my year at my university only.
Anyway the walkers did brilliantly and many thanks to James who put on a wonderful spread at his hotel. Biggin Hall afterwards. As always I am astounded by his genorosity.
