Only two days now until the Games begin and I am pleased to say that there has been an improvement in the organisation and attitude from the people involved in the Commonwealth Games.

Obviously the event has been receiving a lot of negative press recently about the current state of the venues resulting in athletes pulling out of the competition.

However it is now clearer to see the work that is being put in, to ensure the CWG is a success.

The streets are looking cleaner, road markings are being re-painted and there is more advertising and decoration which gives a more reassuring and exciting atmosphere.

We were given the opportunity to meet Suresh Kalmadi, he is the chairman of the organising committee for the games who could be described as a man with little to say. The meeting itself lasted about five minutes and three minutes of that was everyone telling Suresh our names.

I was rather disappointed with his lack of enthusiasm. It's understandable that he is no doubt feeling stressed about the current situation but he should be reassuring us that everything is going to plan and that everything will be finished on time.

I have finally received my accreditation and uniform which surprisingly was a fast process and I must add that the uniform is not half as bad as I expected.

The uniform consists of a white polo top with red trimming, red tracksuit bottoms with white trimming, a very cool white waterproof jacket with the logo on the front, a pair of white Reebok socks which spell Delhi 2010 across the ankle, a black bum bag and a black cap. When on it does look smart the only downfall is that they are very small fittings.

I now have access to the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, where the netball will be held with a capacity of 4,500 and the R.K. Khanna Complex where the tennis will be held and has a capacity over 5,000. I have managed to have a look at the Thyagaraj and I am impressed with the stadium, it’s bigger than I expected and is very clean.

The markings within the stadium are clear and helpful and everything seems to be running smooth, which is a nice change. The area surrounding the stadium is pleasant to look at - there is no litter! My only criticism is that the toilet floors could do with a good clean.

Having said that, although the signs are helpful within the stadium, actually travelling to the venue is a nuisance. I was given a pocket guide for the metro but once at my destination there were no directions that I could see telling me which way it was to the stadium - I had to get out the good old google maps on the phone!

I have become friends with an Australian couple who are staying in the same accommodation as me. They are also here for the CWG but volunteering in the medical department. As a result of this they have access to all stadiums and the Athletes' Village.

They informed me that the village is looking excellent and that things are not as bad as we think. I was looking through their pictures that they took of the village and was extremely impressed with what I could see. The building looked very clean and new, there were pictures of dancers who were there to entertain the teams arriving looking very colourful and beautiful. Everything looked close to perfection in my eyes.

There has been a good response from most of my fellow students that the stadiums where they will be working are looking amazing and that there are only minor things that need sorting. Things are definitely looking up, and I am extremely excited now to begin work which will be Saturday 2nd October.
