Egg Game
You could feel the tension rise as the lesson went on, you could literally cut it with a knife (would have to be a very sharp one though!)
Right, today's lesson was, yes you guessed it, THE EGG GAME. We had all been waiting for this moment from day one; as when the second years came in they told us 'In the egg game whatever you do, just drop it!' Advice I feel we didn't really take.
The lesson started with excitement, the anticipation of the game had been building up and we couldn't wait to see what it was all about. And simply, all we had to do was make a container that could hold an egg and drop it from about 6 feet without it breaking. Sound simple enough for you?
Well it wasn't! We had to right out allllllll the criteria for doing it. If we would mark creativity, effectiveness, if we would make group participation etc and how we would assess these things and who would assess them.
Over 2 hours it took us to sort out the criteria, we hadn't even started on our groups container. (Some people were not happy about this, they just couldn't wait to get their idea into construction *coughLukecough*)
Anyway, it was a group task, and I think we learnt that none of us have the same ideas, and some of us loose concentration quicker, and some like to be in control, heard, listened to. And some just sit back and observe the rest get annoyed. Haha.
Group work is always going to be a challenge, lets just hope by next years Big Event we can all agree a bit more! (or a least try to get along!)

As I sit here gazing out the window,
Instead of working, I’m daydreaming of you...
And wondering if while you’re in your own world,
You’re thinking of me too.
I reminisce about the day we met and how you made me feel,
Looking at the glowing smile on your face,
Staring into your dreamy eyes,
Your smell, your touch, your warm embrace
What a special night that was...
And now, I’m starting to feel that warmth inside,
Like nothing or no one else can make me feel...
Butterflies, a constant smile, happy thoughts,
Looking forward to the next time we meet.
What lies ahead, down the road to love?
Can it possibly be what I’ve been hoping for?
All my goals, dreams, passions, hopes...
Glaring now before me with great anticipation.
No one knows what tomorrow brings...
One can only wish and believe...
I have abounding faith that God will take care of me,
And bring the right person into my life.
Could it be you?
Time will tell...
I feel a special bond starting between us,
And so I’m truly hopeful that it is you.
