I’ve not posted anything on here for a while, and for that I apologise – I’ve been ultra busy preparing for my new job, a one-year post as Education Officer at UCL Union. It’s a sabbatical position, meaning I’m technically still a student, but working full time on behalf of my fellow students. This position in particular (there are 5 others) involves mainly representation, making sure the student voice is heard at an institution level – I sit on something like 19 different College committees, in addition to the Union committees I will be sitting on.

That’s by-the-by for here, though, so let’s get back to the photo. It’s of one of my fellow Sabbs, Grace – our Communications and Services Officer for the next 12 months – taken at the annual staff sports day. The outgoing Sabbs were there too (and I’m glad to say we beat them at the tug of war, even despite my absence through injury), but although I took a lot of photos of the sports, this is the one photo from the day that stands out for me. At the risk of incriminating myself, I’d stood over her while she had her eyes closed, and when she opened them she made this face!
