intensive lessons for human development this week, two days have passed, and i found time flies whenever i'm in counselling class. everything is just so interesting, everything just captures me attention, and whenever i recall how i tell others i have short concentration span, which probably is true when i was doing what i don't fancy, doesnt apply here. i'm attentive almost 100% of the time, and i made sure i understand everything dr vicki was trying to put across. and i realised i participate so much more in these classes, then when i was in some business studies. i could relate alot into the modules, and i have every opinion, every viewpoints to share with the class, i think i speak up so much that no one in class doesnt know me. LOLS.
of cos everyone participates very actively in class, which makes me love the lesson even more. everyone in the class, is so helpful, so wanting to share, and everyone just keep sparing a thought for others, making me feel so touched.
quoting an example from today. we had a long day in class today, so intensive that food, titbits, coffee, tea, milo were ESSENTIALS to survive through the class. i prepared mamee noodles, kit kat, mentos sweets for everyone, thinking that the previous time everyone weren't prepared and we were all almost dozing off. so i bought a fair share for everyone...
when break time kicked in, EVERYONE HAD SOMETHING TO SHARE. hahah! it was like some pot luck or something.. i had titbits brought out for everyone to share, jac brought lots and lots of coffee thinking the whole class would surely need it.. stacey brought variety of tea, coffee and cereals, knowing that there are people like me who don take coffee, billy brought chocolates and mints.. all in all, the class ended up with having so much food to eat, there were laughters, there were so much sharing, so much talking, so much fun, not in cliques but as a whole class.
everyone were so concerned about me being 'lost' and bernard offered me a job which of cos i accepted immediately, of cos gotta wait till he finalise things and all... everyone were concerned about everyone.. not in the busybody way of cos, but the real kind of concern. anf let me say something that will impress everyone here.
ber: why do u have to smoke?
rad: hmm... a habit i cannot quit?
lan: hey!!! let's accept who she is, it's just a habit she cant kick, don judge her cos she smokes.
ber: no no no. i just wanted to understand why she started it, and not wanting to stop her. anyway, standing beside her now makes me at risk more. haha
everyone else beside were laughing at the conversation. ain't that fascinating??? no one judge another one, everyone just accepts who we are, what we are, and we DO NOT HAVE to put up ANY front. we just had to be as real as WE are.
videos were played and everyone shared opinions. everyone were just so real towards what they say, and even if there were opposition views, we take it as everyone just think differently and we have to be able to take others' viewpoints and digest it, and who knows someday others' thinkings may just be useful for us?
i don just learn what is written in the texts, really. i learn soooo much from my classmates.. who cares if most of them were at least a few years or a few decades older than me?! they five me the kind of perspective that peers of my age cannot give me. and what more? i think i fit in them so well, and we all blend so well, is the prove of something concrete... something so true, so real, it bypass the factors of age and gender. it's the common belief of humanity. (:
tmr class starts 9am. nites everyone.
♥dedicated compassion and loves.
