Hello everyone, how’s life? Being the pure innocent model student I am, this may be hard to believe but this is actually my first blog post, mind-blowing isn’t it? Anyway I hope reading this is worth your time because it is really long (like more than 1 page long)
After an extremely enjoyable and entertaining TOK focus day (don’t you just love TOK), what better way to make the day even better than to have ACSIS? Today we did some out of the box and new exercises today as we learnt the aspect of working and acting in darkness or at least imaginary darkness. After warm-ups, we gravitated (see what I did there) to a trust/movement activity where we were grouped into pairs.
One person in each pair was blindfolded while the other would guide him around the world, whilst attempting not to bump into or injure anyone else. This activity was relatively daunting to some while others like me found it quite interesting (no fear of walking into pillars – too much experience).
Just as everyone was getting used to the blindfold movement activity, Mr. Connor decided to give everyone a new obstacle by introducing an obstacle course (gosh this is really lame). This was extremely challenging as the person guiding the blindfolded was only allowed to use 4 words: go, stop, left, right. Fortunately, no one got severely injured because that would have been bad.
After that, we split into groups to prepare for the performance segment of workshop. This week’s theme was a situation when the lights go out. My group decided to do a power trip in the operating theatre. As usual, I was the victim (guy getting stabbed, mutilated, murdered, tortured, you get it) where I was supposed to be operated on. The preparation was hilarious to say the least and we got to see one of our group member’s interesting side when she started saying random jokes that were supposedly sick but I was too innocent to understand (for the person’s safety, you will have to guess who it is yourself – quite obvious)
After workshop, we went for a club outing, which I actually planned and initiated
. First of all, we went to King Albert Park (KAP) for ice cream at Island Creamery. It was amazing as I had never been to KAP before. Did I mention the Island creamery there is Jew heaven? We had a great time at KAP and everyone enjoyed what he or she ordered. The coke float was heavenly and was the most expensive drink I’ve had in over 3 months (citation: Abhi – return you soon & the random person who left $2 on the floor of the LT – thank you)
We were disappointed to discover that we wouldn’t make it in time for any of the movies that we wanted to watch. We generally dispersed after that with people going home while a small group of us went to Wendy’s at Wheelock Place for dinner. In general, the whole outing was a great bonding experience and just served to reinforce how tightly knit our cohort was.
PS: In future, can everyone please finish his or her own food, I am not your recycling bin. And can someone remind me to return the lighter to the drama room before school closes.
