Since I joined my current class, I have begun to discover more and more about them. My class is a lively bunch, everyday cooking up new jokes and wrecking havoc all over the classroom. Despite our outgoing nature, we seem rather bonded at times and when it is the time to get serious, we get really focused. Take for example inter-class soccer. From our attitude towards the game, it is obvious that we all take it extrememly seriously and are determined to perform our best. This is one of the rare occasions in which there is a distinct mark of comradeship and leadership, especially from our captain. I respect them. Not only that, through my interactions with the class, I have come to realise that the class is not entirely as what it seems. The famed 'slacker' in our class does actually put in effort in his work, the seemingly big and muscular dudes do acutally have a soft and sensitive side, and the group of very good friends are in fact warm and welcoming to new people.
The above paragraph sounds really weird and bewildering (Im also not sure how I came up with it). Anyway, today we lost to 3A in our inter-class soccer match. It was a last minute goal as usual. I wonder why we are so unlucky. But the main thing was the encouragement for the team and individually for me, which I truly appreciated. It was quite a display of their bondedness and determination to win.
Just now, in the evening, I went for the second R.C.I.Y lesson. Im not sure why but I have the urge to blog about R.C.I.Y lessons. Surprisingly, today wasnt as great as the previous lesson, maybe because i expected too much. Somehow, Im starting to have the feeling that this R.C.I.Y thingy aint gonna be of much help, after talking to my 22-year-old chiobu group facilitator. Probably cause she said that it is up to our own interpretation, which to me doesnt mean anything.
Recently, I have been rather moody. Like sometimes will feel so fulifilled and contented then after that become down and angsty. Most often, I will feel contented like when Im around friends in school, getting suaned and even "bullied", and angsty when i reach home cause its just quiet and lonely. When random girls' names start getting shouted all over the class, for example, it sets me thinking whether these people's private lives are really so fulfilling, with friends just constantly buzzing in their ears. This might be jealously to a certain extent, i admit, but it is simply one which arises from my own insecurity.
Its a long and difficult process, but Im still trying to get to know my class better. Right now, Im just feeling a bit unsatisfied cause R.C.I.Y didnt go as i expected.
