Hi everyone,

It seems very strange that we are nearly at the halfway stage of the Games. For so long I have been out here training for the event and felt like it would never come. However as always good things always seem to come and go so fast but leave an everlasting impression in your mind.

For me so far these Olympic Games have taught me lessons not only about my trade as an aspiring journalist but have given me more independence because I am in a foreign country for so long which has also boosted my confidence.

Also being a volunteer is a great role and is an experience everyone should try. In fact I am that impressed I want to apply for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and then the London Games.

I will do another blog soon to tell you more about the experience but until then it is back to the office for me and I am so happy to say it.
