Chinese Whispers

Why is Chinese whispers so much fun?
Dot started off the sentence at either end of the semi circle........I, through no fault of my own (well is my fault really) didn't hear what she said to me (I was on one of the ends). So I kinda made up the end bit of the sentence, it made sense, just wasn't totally correct. Now the bit that didn't make sense, was the end sentences, they were completely different to what it started with and didn't even fit into a sentence properly; I would at this point tell you what the sentences were, but, I cant remember, either the end or the beginning (maybe I should have put beginning then end....hmm)
Anyway, this really showed me that when you hear something, where someone starts the sentence.....'Guess what, my friend said that her friend...' and so on; is not going to be totally accurate.
Dot ended by relating this to the bible, but being me, and my brain is seriously not good at remembering things today, I have forgotten how so I will get back to you on that one. (seriously, I asked someone the same question twice in the matter of 10mins!)

The other great thing of today, is Aimee's wonderful helicopter she drew (even though she couldn't remember what they look like, may print of a picture to remind her!)

Groups!

I think I'm getting into this blogging thing, I seem to be always on here blogging about one thing or another!

Anyway, today's lesson was on groups and as individuals the roles and parts we play in groups.

(Just a quick note, I felt more myself in lesson, for the first time I was me, and I actually interacted instead of keeping quiet, lets hope in continues!)

We discussed the possible groups we could be in....family, friends, darts (? There seemed to be a big thing about that, but I think I missed the point!) And then the roles we played within these groups.
Then onto a task about some Duck Pond, ha ha, where a few of us had cards telling us our 'roles' and we had to discuss the messy Duck Pond acting like what was on the card. I had to try and get someone elected as Chairman, but Jane kept talking that I couldn't get a word in edge ways and if I did she would talk over me! Tut tut her, Love her really, she is great!!! :-D

The we pretended we crashed landed on the moon, and what, out of a list would be the 5 things that we would take with us to the other ship thing, whom couldn't come and rescue us. Was a good laugh discussing it. After that we filled out a form and had to put who we thought each statement fitted. I never I could disagree so much, all I wanted to do was take a portable heating unit with me, and no-one would let me :-(

Anyway, this blog was a bit of a muddle, not sure your understand, but at least I'm writing them ay Dot?

Now, Lets go through things slowly!!!!

Really good lesson today........We went through everything that we were previously confused about, and even though, yes, I am still a little bit confused, I feel it really helped!
I think the confusion is going to stick with me for a while, well until I'm really stuck into things and got into the swing of all these assignments and referencing............But my mind is a lot clearer on what I'm suppose to be doing and how things work. I'm certainly getting there.

Quick note on theology...........Today's lecture on creation and the Fall was awesome, really felt I understood more than I have in any other lecture (still not everything and not sure I remember a lot!) but I found it highly interesting and it kept me awake rather than sending me to sleep like normal.

Confusing

University certainly isn't easy and if you thought you could go to relax and have fun and it was all a big laugh, man are you wrong! I don't believe I came to university with this attitude, I knew it would be an amazingly big challenge, but how big, I wasn't quite sure!

I know I'm meant to be here as in the last year of college a lot happened and my exams didn't go very well at all, so all through the summer I left my results and my future in God's hands, even more so as Chester was the only uni I had applied for! Results came and woo, I'm here, been here for a little while now but gosh doesn't it feel like a life time? Well not really that long, but long!

Anyway, it's not really anything I'm use to, I am not an academic sort of person and having gone through school and into A levels this became more apparent as I struggled a lot with all the work. And today we had our assignments explained to us and which forms we needed to fill in before and after and for when we finally hand them in. AAAAHHHHH!!!!! This is all soooo confusing, I think it is probably just me, but seriously my head is in such a muddle, when things have to be in, how long its suppose to be, what is expected from me for it, what's suppose to be in it, what forms have to be filled out for it.

I'm sure all this will become a lot easier, well I do hope so and I guess I will get use to the whole process. I think I just need to sort myself out and get motivated and stuck into it! Positive thinking, woo!

Anyway........That's today's experience, well so far, its only 12.50 anything can happen.

Internet Assignment!

Oh my word!!!
I like the way this had to be done, sending an email with an attached article, but I found it really hard to find 500 words to go with the article to send with it. In the end I did my best and sent it with less word.
Found it difficult to write about the article without re-writing the article all together. AAAAHHHH.

I'm sure it will all work out in the end. What it is to be a student and write assignments. Hee hee

Theology - hmm

Why is theology so confusing. I find it hard to understand the smallest of texts as the language used is so complex sometimes looking up the words in the dictionary doesn't even help. I'm hoping this will become a lot simpler by the end of the year; my knowledge will be extended about the subject and I wont still have the confused look upon my face that seems to stick there every time I'm in a lecture. The urge to draw pictures all over the page to keep me awake will hopefully be replaced by notes about the subject that I will, by then, find absolutely amazing.
Don't get me wrong, I think it is an awesome subject. I just find it hard to concentrate on things that just constantly seem to be going over my head.

If anyone has any practical ideas or wisdom in the way of concentration and understand let me know please, could really do with it!

Being someone i am not

Today's key issues lesson was amazing. To start with we were understanding how it would feel to be someone we are not, with disabilities or in situations we could never comprehend being in. I was given 'a 17 year old with no hearing'. I know what I experienced from one lesson could not even compare to what someone who has to live with it would experience. So, taking on this role I spent the lesson with my fingers in my ears to block out as much noise as possible. And even though I could hear bits every now and then, I found it increasingly hard to concentrate on the lesson and lip read every thing someone was saying and be able to interact with the others in the class. Really opened my eyes to what other people experience but theirs would be on a greater level.
I think this small experience will help me understand people who are different to me, and except people more for who they are and not judge them, thinking everyone is just like me. We are all so different. All our time lines and things we have been through in our lives are different and its awesome to think God made us all individual but loves us all equally.

Quick do a blog!!!!!

I was told I had to do a blog and I was trying to put it off as long as possible, but I have finally got around to doing one...Woo me! To avoid writing one I even asked members of my family when I was at home if they would like to complete it for me. Sadly they said no, well almost all said no. My brother said he would write it for me but he was going to write about the nuclear family and the internet and interesting sociological things like that (if sociological is the word I mean!) I realized that if I let him do so, I would end up with numerous questions that I would never be able to answer cause I wouldn't be able to understand what he wrote let alone answer questions anyone else had for me!

So here it is, my first blog, how interesting it is for people to read........I guess that's a matter of opinion!
