This Week's Reflections

First of all, sorry its late....
finally got my google account back!
Over the last two weeks, we have been on our school graduation trip in Malaysia/Singapore
The trip was fun at times, but there were also some not so great moments.
During this trip, we were suppose to "experience" foreign cultures etc.
However, we didnt really learn their cultures. I guess if you count watching a man harvesting fruits or collecting rubber counts... then sure. But we didnt really learn about the more important stuff. For example, instead of sleeping in a local village or visiting our sisters schools, we should've spent more time exploring the city or learning the history of the Malaysia.
Anyways, enough with the negative stuff. It was fun to spend two weeks with my classmates! I did learn some things (Newater, we visited some museums, etc.)
During the trip, I read North and South (By Elizabeth Gaskell)
The novel was... well to put it..... it was pretty boring at the beginning, but towards the end it became more interesting. I have to admit, i was happy for them when the author hinted that they were gonna get married
If I had to rate it from one to ten, it would be a 6.
