some photos from council retreat hehehe got back 3hours ago and have been lying in bed ever since. life of a pig man omg
anw retreat wasn't as great as i thought it'd be hahaha i guess it was too slow paced for my liking i mean i like nua-ing and everything but it was tooooo nua. eat sit down reflect eat sit down reflect play some games eat sit down reflect sleep wake up and it repeats itself omg. i got so tired of eating and chewing. but i got to know some people more and i'm thankful for that!
honestly i think i'd have had more fun if we were in departments because we are closer and all but this retreat group thing did do me some good haha. during the second night of reflection they asked us about our regrets and one of mine was not getting to know the people in council enough. i guess i rly didn't make enough effort to get to know people. yes, i do know quite a fair bit of people in council and can carry sustained convos with them but it doesn't rly go further? like it's normally just a one time thing i try and then i don't rly maintain the convo. been staying in my little friends bubble for too long so i guess i'll try to talk to more peole from now on. does me good that open house is made up of people i don't normally talk to so i can finally emerge from this bubble and work with people i don't normally work with. there's probably a good part of not choosing orientation, since ocomm people are like the people i always work with/talk to.
oh and, the SLPI teacher mentor talk thing wasn't as useless as i thought it was. when ms hua went through the thing with me she helped me realise something about me LOL - that i only do things if i have a strong rationale for it. told her about how i only believe in being genuine about what i say and do, and stuff like how i thought the house animals and mottos (glorious ominbus lucet etc) were all useless and how i think some school rules are totally unnecessary and how i don't abide by them. turns out she was like that too and i am truly enlightened by all that she said :) makes me wanna become a better person hahaha. sometimes we see things only from our logic but we fail to see things from the other person's perspective. it's good to do things with thought but the danger is when we do things without sufficient thought. shall try to look at things from other people's perspectives when i make decisions from now on :)
did some note writing to each other during department time and that made me realise how much i really appreciate my house d. so thankful to ryan for putting me in house d though i rly didnt want it at first but now i think that's the best thing that's happened to me in council :') started off not liking almost half of them but now i'm starting to accept them and even like them. beginning to look past old things and forgive, and that feels better :) plus i think they're really improving in terms of interpersonal skills and are starting to be more responsible if they are given tasks they like. i like how we are all comfortable with one another and really treat one another all like family <3 nbsp="" p="">
feel so fat now because of this ultra pig lifestyle omg i can feel my thighs and calves and face expanding plus my arteries clogging this is TERRIBLE someone force me to exercise pls :(
