BEING A HOT DIRECTOR!

Even though I missed out on making a delicious tiramisu in Home Ec :'( today was a "buzz".
Austin Dunne (may I say, quite the legend of a man) came into our school to do a Social Development program with each T.Y. class.
At the beginning we were put into groups and on a huge sheet of paper we had to write out what we wanted to achieve by the end of the day. If I do say so myself, my group's poster was pretty epic ;) Being the utterly witty T.Y.'s we are, our page included things like have a bitta bant and listen to some more Westlife....don't ask. It also featured some VERY artistic drawings!
Then we were separated into pairs and did all these random exercises on conversing with people, body language and listening.
This was followed by a debate on the wackiest topics :P A word to the wise: I'm quite the passionate debater.
Then came the biggest part of the day. Our whole class was divided into 4 different categories based on Hippocrates Theory of the four humours:

  1. Choleric: it basically means you like to get things done your way and you are competitive, challenging and focused among other things. The colour is red, the animal is a bull and you are a 'hot director' (leader in easier terms)
  2. Sanguine: this one is if you are bubbly and sociable and like to have a laugh. The colour is yellow, the animal is a cow and you are a 'entertainer'.
  3. Phlegmatic: if you are calm, collected and like to sort problems out, you fall into this category. Green is the colour, dog is the animal and you are the 'mediator'.
  4. Melancholic: finally, people who are quiet and like to keep to themselves to themselves are know as melancholic. The colour is blue, the animal is a cat and you would be an 'observer'. 
Woah, that took a long time. Anyways... everyone has a bit of each in them but has one predominating one. I turned out to be choleric (surprise, surprise). But I just wanna say it does not mean that I'm all cocky or anything! Well....
So we were split up into our humours and given a variety of things to do which included making a solution to Santa's low toy stock problem o.O  Us bulls made a "logical" and amazing comic strip for our solution.
After,we were again divided up but this time into extroverts and introverts (loud/confident/opinionated and shy/quiet/self-conscious)  and we finished of the day with more exercises. The most important being how to shake hands properly... pretty alright in that already :L hehehe

Overall, today was reeeeeaaaally good :D and I honestly now think my class has like proper bonded with each other (waheey!!) 
Also, I am proud to be a bull! *whatever sound bulls make*
