Reflection... Thing.

Reflections on SL Briefing and the whole SL thing.

OK, first off, I agree with Cheryl about the SL being a combination of CIP and Imagineering. The first time I was briefedn on Service Learning, I thought, "All this seems very familiar for some weird reason." Then I realised that it was because they were asking us to do Imagineering in our community, as well as implement whatever solutions we came up with.

But, as I read on and listened more to the SL, I realised that not only was the project doable, it was also quite fun to do. Although at first, I was quite surprised with the... diversity(the only word I can come up with on such short notice) of our group, I later realised that the whole point of SL was to make us learn things about ourselves as well as allow us to work better with others. (Apart from the obvious thing about helping the community and stuff.) And then, we met up with our mentor, and the whole thing clicked into place. I felt good. I love our SL group. ROCK ON, EZRA!!!

Reflections on NACLI Camp.

I really enjoyed this camp, save ONE incident on the 2nd night, which shall be taken by me/with me to the grave. (Whichever one's correct, choose that one, my grammar has taken a turn for the worse.) I have fond memories of the 2nd day, where we had fun games throughout the whole day, and the 3rd day, where we also had games, but it was a HUGE competition.

The first day, we had something called "Facilitator Games." I STILL don't know the difference between a leader and a facilitator, although the instructors made it sound as though a leader was a dictator, whereas the facilitator was something like the President of America, where the leader was influenced in his decisions by his subjects (a.k.a the members in your group) and he tried to SPUR HIS SUBJECTS TO VICTORY!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE...D!!!!

OK, that was REALLY lame.

I was one of the facilitators, and believe me, I REALLY liked the prospect of exercising absolute power over people in my group, but it wasn't absolute power. Damn.

But other than that, I have nothing much left to say, other than I really like the NACLI camp, and....
EZRA ROCKS ALL MY SOCKS!!!!
