Elective

Most of the girls finished making bracelets today. Everyone is happy with their final bracelet. Most of them struggled to make it, because the beads were small and they couldn't easily put them through the string. Sometimes we had troubles with the length of the string, therefore we had to change some position of the beads. Only 2 more girls to finish it, so I'm thinking to start on papers for next elective. However, one thing that messes my mind is a complain of a girl. She doesn't enjoy origami, and when it comes to beads, she doesn't like what we are making. It's really difficult, and sometimes she wants me to fly to Japan and get more beads to create particular accessories, which is... extremely difficult for me, because I've spent quite a lot of money for this elective, and I cannot spend more money for this. Except this problem, I am quite happy with the class and the progress we are making so far.

YOGA!

My friend had to leave the activity, because her school bus started leaving at 3 p.m. It feels a bit weird to be the only secondary student in the class...
Our trainer was absent today, therefore his assisstant was leading the activity today. I noticed her body was softer than our trainer (maybe it's because she's a lady and he's more muscular)... I thought she would go soft on us, but actually it turned out to be its opposite. It was the hardest Yoga class I've ever had, and my back was in pain.. crazy!!! We did so much work on our legs for warming up. I was having difficulties with walking after the class. We did bridge, jump, stretch and other indescribable forms of Yoga.
She and I got friendlier than before, since the Food and Fun Fair on last Saturday. They were both performing for their performance in British School on 28th, and 30th as an advertisement. I talked to them after their performance and that's the time when I got quite close to them, so I feel a bit better and comfortable of being in the elective. She said she's been doing Yoga for 6 years, and she also did find it hard at the beginning, but now she's used to it, so I hope I can become an expert on Yoga.

Singhala Lesson

Finally my tutor is teaching me Singhala after two weeks. I've gone 1/3 of the text book. I'm always revising what we've done and my tutor tells me to read the text book from the beginning, which I find it quite useful. I'm now better at reading, and I've noticed my speed as got faster and I'm really happy with the progress I'm making. I'm hoping to finish the book before the school exam.

Library Service

Library Service always makes me feel calm, perhaps it's because of the work in a peace area... I've organized the book shelves today. Now the seniors are not coming these days, and I'm doing work all by myself. I wish some students could join me. That way, I could get interected with them and build another friendship.
