THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!
All of the plans are (mostly) in place, now it is time to execute! Final push for registration and outreach and preparing mentally for the day of event! I cannot believe that one week from today we will begin to pick up our filmmakers and scholars. I know that there are small fires in many places, and we are scrambling for time with some things, which is nerve-wracking, but I don't know, there is no way that this event will not happen, will not run the way we want it to. The pressure is on and as some people's jobs are waning, others to amping up big time.

Departmental Meeting: 1 hr
Meeting w Steven about posters: 20 min
Meeting w Steven& Jill: 1 hr
Hawk e-news/campus activities research/sign up: 1 hr
FST 204 Class visit: 15 min
M&S Class Visit: 2 hrs
We're so close!!!! I can barely contain my excitement. Now it's to the nitty gritty finale and setting of details. These next two classes/weeks will be about bringing everything together, finalizing everything and making it all tangible. I am putting all my research into action for the final stretch, talking to classes, setting up solicitation tables and getting my brain ready for the day of the event. For the class visits I am going to try to emphasize the video race and the networking opportunities that Visions gives filmmakers and scholars. I keep running the day through my head, I don't think I can really fathom how it is going to go, but think the adrenaline and excitement will be up full force. And, I really like the tshirts.

Week 8& 9
2/26-3/5-3/12
I decided to put these two weeks together, since one of them was spent Spring Breaking.
Blog/Crew Evals: 1 hr
Copying Wilmington contacts: 30 min
Finding contacts: 1 hr
Departmental meeting: 1 hr
Watch past Visions films: 2.5 hrs
M&S initial meeting: 30 min
M&S crew meeting: 20 min
M&S crew planning: 1 hr
Outreach calendar/update: 1.5 hrs
We're in the final stretch! It's exciting and stressful at the same time. Now it's down to the last details, thousands of tiny things to keep track of and remember. This is the time when time management skills are the most useful. I just need to remember to stay focused on one thing at a time and not let the big picture overwhelm me too much. And keep making lists, everywhere.
Things I need to do and focus on this week:
Reserve tables week of Visions, figure out flyers and giveaways
stay on top of class visits (make sure they all have representatives)
nail down Hawk e-news/campus activities
meet with Jill/Steven about mail out posters-- who/how many?
talk talk talk it up.

Week 7
2/19-2/26
Departmental meeting: 1.5hrs
Outreach research/presentation making: 2.5 hrs
CFEFF Bakesale: 3 hrs
Talking with Zoe about Outreach: 20 min
Scheduling M&S meeting: 10 min
This week was relatively light, which was really nice for me; it's given me some time to recoup and meditate on my upcoming tasks without stressing too, too much on them. I will continue to put most of my focus on furthering outreach and figuring out a solid strategy to put in the manual and pass onto my predecessor.
I think that my next step is exactly that, I need to really think about specifically what I'm trying to do and make it easier to wrap my head around. I need to make a very detailed weekly schedule/plan, which should help with that, and I need to finish compiling a list of contacts in the greater wilmington area and on our campus. For the rest of the month I will be working more closely with Anna and Audra, Anna to send out invites and help Audra set up events and market them. I also need to get in contact with Campus Activities and see what we need to do to get Visions on the weekly events hawk e-news (or whatever it's called) that goes out to ALL of the uncw students.
Also, Michelle, who asked me to help with her breast cancer event, has decided that she would like to have an outdoor movie and a fundraiser, which means that it can't really be a Visions event. Although I would have liked having a Visions outdoor movie, I think that showing our support for her will do well with outreach. I'm thinking that if we stay away from advertising the event for her, but have four-ups, or something, at the event, that might work. No matter, I am going to try to give her as much help as possible, and hopefully everyone, including Visions, will benefit from it.
